Construction joints are the weakest points where cracks and leakages most likely occur under expansion, settlement, temperature changes and load. Ordinary waterproof materials can only cover the surface and cannot adapt to deformation, so they will fail soon.
Waterstops are embedded waterproof components specially designed for deformation joints, construction joints, expansion joints and settlement joints.With high elasticity and elongation, they bond tightly with concrete to form an internal, inseparable waterproof barrier.
With high elasticity and elongation, they bond tightly with concrete to form an internal, inseparable waterproof barrier.
Its irreplaceable advantages:
- Adapt to structural deformation: Elastically stretch, compress and settle with joints while maintaining sealing.
- Internal deep waterproofing: Pre-buried inside concrete to block water channels from the source.
- Long-term durability: Aging-resistant, acid-alkali-resistant, water-pressure-resistant, with the same service life as the building.
- Withstand high water pressure: Ideal for tunnels, subways, basements, dams and other high-water-pressure projects.
Without waterstops, construction joints are prone to leakage, dampness, cracks and steel corrosion, leading to extremely high maintenance costs.Therefore, waterstops are essential and irreplaceable for modern structural waterproofing.
