FOSROC HYDROTITE (Hydrophillic Waterstop)
Hydrotite is hydrophilic waterstop which expands in a controlled fashion in the presence of moisture to create a pressure seal within construction joints in concrete structures.
Available in a range of profiles – see external link.
Typical Applications
- Construction joints in water retaining and water excluding structures
Advantages
- Self-adhesive makes installation easier and reduces construction costs
- Co-extruded design means expansion is directed across the joint for maximum seal
- Delay coating to help prevent premature expansion
- Unaffected by repeated wet and dry cycles
- No site welding as is required for traditional PVC waterstops
- No need for special intersections, joining is by simple butt joins
- Can be applied to rough surfaces using Leakmaster gungrade waterstop
- Can be joined to traditional PVC waterstop
- No compaction or displacement problems
- Non toxic and non hazardous
