Triton Adcor 500S Waterbar

A thick sectioned, hydro-expansive waterstop for preventing water entry through joints in concrete sub-structures.

The swellable polymer/ butyl rubber waterstop strip expands in contact with water, and when fully encapsulated by poured concrete, will form a seal against concrete faces.

The seal resists hydrostatic pressure, stopping water from entering sub-structures. Developed to provide higher performance than conventional bentonite or swellable rubber waterstops.

Features and benefits:

• Controlled, reproducible, volumetric expansion, which reduces the risk of concrete spalling.

• Cohesive strength maintained after volumetric expansion.

• Malleable and plastic, enabling easy application to a variety of concrete profiles.

• Can be installed into a variety of irregular substrates.

• No need for the use of protective steel mesh.

• Allows for simple overlap jointing on site.

• Reproducible swell after wet/ dry cycling.

• Can be easily joined to other polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waterstops at movement joints.

• Unaffected by freeze/ thaw cycling.

Applications:

• Construction joints for in-situ concrete structures.

• Casting new concrete against existing concrete.

• Floor slabs cast against diaphragm retaining walls, steel sheet piles and secant piled walls.

• Joints between floor slabs and pile caps.

• Pipe penetrations through floors and walls.

• Remedial ‘breaking out’ of concrete.

Can be used in conjunction with Triton SwellMastic - consult manufacturer for details.
