SwellSeal Waterbar – High-Performance Hydrophilic Joint Seal
SwellSeal Waterbar is an advanced extruded rubber compound made from a blend of butyl rubber, hydrophilic resin, polyethylene, and silicone. Specifically designed for sealing joints in poured-in-place and precast concrete applications, SwellSeal forms a highly effective water-tight barrier even in below-ground structures.
Key Features & Benefits:
✔ Exceptional Swelling Ability – Expands up to 4 times its volume on water contact, ensuring a secure seal in irregular joints.
✔ High Hydrostatic Pressure Resistance – Can withstand pressures up to 5 bar, making it ideal for waterproofing underground structures.
✔ Adaptable & Versatile – Moulds itself to uneven surfaces without requiring high compression force.
✔ Reversible Expansion Process – Swells when exposed to water and contracts when dry, maintaining long-term performance.
✔ Easy & Quick Installation – Lightweight and flexible, making it simple to handle on-site.
✔ Suitable for Both Vertical & Horizontal Applications – Works effectively on a wide range of construction joints.
✔ Ideal for Pipe Penetrations – The slim 7mm thickness makes it perfect for sealing around pipework and other tight spaces.
✔ Can Be Used with Non-Expanding Rubber – Compatible with various waterproofing systems for enhanced protection.
Perfect for Use In:
✔ Below-Ground Waterproofing (Basements, Tunnels, Retaining Walls, and Lift Pits)
✔ Structural Concrete Joints (Seals against leaks in construction joints and precast sections)
✔ Pipework & Service Penetrations (Ensures water-tight connections in confined spaces)
✔ Water Retaining & Excluding Structures (Reservoirs, Sewage Treatment Plants, and Foundations)
SwellSeal Waterbar provides superior joint protection, ensuring long-lasting waterproofing performance in critical concrete structures.
