Aqua Seal is made of high performance modified rubber strips. Interaction between water and hydrophilic groups which are part of the Aqua Seal molecular structure results in swelling of rubber strips. When in contact with water, Aqua Seal reacts and can swell upto 300% of its original dimension to form a compression seal.
Hydrophilic waterbar is primarily used to seal concrete construction joints, foundation wall slabs, precast wall panels, slabs-on-grade, manholes, pipe & steel work penetration through wall & slabs, construction joints in tunnel segments, box culverts and potable water structure etc.
Aqua Seal can be fixed on the concrete surface with adhesive. Place Aqua Seal end to end, do not overlap. Make sure Aqua Seal swellable waterstops covers all parts of the surface, especially for surfaces which are not perfect in shape. Protect the Aqua Seal Swellable Waterstops from water until is concrete poured.
