EuroSwell
EuroSwellis high performance hydrophilic swelling
waterstop. EuroSwell SW is made of high performance
modified bentonite strips. The swelling action is the result
between water and hydrophilic groups which are part of
the EuroSwell SW molecular structure. Expansion of the
waterstop creates a positive seal against the face of the
concrete joint and prevents the water entry into the
structure through the protected joint.
Uses $ Appliation:
A flexible butyl rubber and swellable clay waterproofing
compound that swells upon contact with water to form a
long-lasting compression seal in non-moving concrete
joints. EuroSwell SW requires a 2-inch minimum clear
coverage from the face of the concrete. EuroSwell SW is
used primarily for foundation walls slabs, slabs-on-grade,
precast wall panels, manholes, pipe connections, box
culverts, utility and burial vaults, wet wells, and potable
water tanks.
Benefits:
Easy to install by bonding nailing or casting into
joint face.
Flexible to use in horizontal and vertical joint.
Uses butt end joining to create continuous
waterstop. Swelling properties unaffected by long
term wet/dry cycling.
Conforms easily to irregular surface.
Sustains effective seal in wet conditions.
Non-toxic and require no special handling.
