Verified by manufacturer 7 months ago
BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
An expanding concrete joint waterstop.
Application
Suitable for:
- Vertical and horizontal non-moving concrete construction joints.
- New to existing concrete construction.
- Irregular surfaces.
- Around through-wall penetrations, such as plumbing and utility pipes.
- Sealing around penetrations, concrete pilings and steel H-piles passing through the slab.
- Both continuous hydrostatic and intermittent hydrostatic conditions.
Description
A hydrophilic strip waterstop designed to stop water infiltration through cast-in-place concrete construction joints, by expanding upon contact with water to form a positive seal against the concrete.
Features and benefits:
- Expands to seal and fill voids and cracks in the concrete.
- Active waterstop designed to replace passive PVC/ Rubber dumbbell waterstops, thereby eliminating the requirement of special pieces, split-forming and seam welding.
- Has been successfully tested by independent testing firms to over 60 meters of hydrostatic water pressure, under both continuous immersion and wet/ dry-cycling.
- WATERSTOP-RX® 101 is produced in a rectangular shape measuring 25 x 20 mm and WATERSTOP-RX® 103 is produced in a rectangular shape measuring 20 x 10 mm.
- Though WATERSTOP-RX® possesses good resistance to many chemicals, the waterstop is not intended to be used as the primary joint sealant for chemical containment vessels.
- Consult manufacturer for guidance regarding chemical compatibility for secondary chemical containment applications.
- Additionally, WATERSTOP-RX® is not an expansion joint sealant; contact CETCO for expansion joint applications.
- Designed for reinforced structural concrete with a minimum of 20 N/mm² compressive strength.
- RX-101 is designed for concrete 200 mm thick or greater with two rows of reinforcing steel.
- RX-103 is designed for vertical concrete 150 mm thick or greater; and horizontal concrete no less than 100 mm thick. It should be used in concrete with one row of steel reinforcement, concrete curbs, planter walls, fountains and lightweight structural concrete.
- Can be used around pipe and structural penetrations.
- CETSEAL is required to secure WATERSTOPRX ® to metal or PVC (pipe) surfaces. Mechanical fixings should be used with REVO-FIX to secure WATERSTOP-RX; and fixings can be used in conjunction with CETSEAL.
- WATERSTOP-RX® is not a self-adhering product. Either CETSEAL or REVO-FIX are required to secure WATERSTOP-RX® to concrete.
- Mechanical fixings should not be used to secure WATERSTOP-RX alone. Do not use any other adhesive or construction sealant apart from CETSEAL to secure WATERSTOP-RX®.
- WATERSTOP-RX® is not designed, nor intended to function as an expansion joint sealant. For precast concrete applications, contact manufacturer for product suitability and for any special installation requirements.
- WATERSTOP-RX® products are designed for structural concrete with a minimum of 20 N/mm² compressive strength.
