PVC Water stopper 150*8mm

About PVC Water stopper 150*8mm

A PVC Water Stopper 150*8mm is a waterproof sealing product used in concrete construction joints to prevent water infiltration and leakage. This type of water stopper is made from high-quality PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and is commonly used in structures like dams, water tanks, swimming pools, foundations, and retaining walls to create an impermeable barrier against water.

Key Specifications:

Function and Purpose:

• Sealing Concrete Joints: The primary role of a PVC water stopper is to create a watertight seal between concrete pours, particularly at construction joints, where water may seep through if not sealed properly.

• Expansion and Contraction: The stopper allows for the movement of concrete due to expansion or shrinkage while maintaining the seal against water.

• Waterproofing: It acts as a high-performance barrier to stop water from leaking through concrete joints, especially in structures exposed to high-pressure water.

Common Applications:

• Water reservoirs, dams, and hydroelectric plants

• Tunnels and underground constructions

• Swimming pools, fountains, and water tanks

• Basements, retaining walls, and foundations in buildings

• Bridge joints, sewage treatment plants, and stormwater management systems

Advantages:

• Effective Waterproofing: Prevents water leakage in concrete joints, even under high-pressure conditions.

• Durability: PVC is resistant to abrasion, UV degradation, and chemical exposure, offering a long-lasting seal.

• Flexibility: The stopper can easily mold to various joint configurations (straight or curved), providing a tight seal.

• Cost-effective: PVC is more affordable than other materials like rubber, making it an economical solution for water sealing.

• Easy Installation: Simple to install in new concrete pours or retrofitted into existing joints during repairs or renovations.

Environmentally Friendly:

• Recyclable material, contributing to sustainability.

• Non-toxic PVC options are available, suitable for use in water systems like drinking water reservoirs (when certified).

Installation Process:

1. Preparation: Place the water stopper inside the formwork at the center of the concrete joint. Ensure the joint is clean and free of debris.

2. Concrete Pouring: Pour concrete over the PVC water stopper. As the concrete sets, the stopper expands and creates a tight seal within the joint.

3. Sealing Action: The PVC material reacts with the surrounding concrete to create an impermeable barrier, preventing water penetration.

4. End Fittings: If needed, molded corners, connectors, or overlapping sections can be used to complete the installation.

Performance Features:

• Waterproofing: Effective in preventing water infiltration even under high-pressure conditions.

• Abrasion resistance: Durable for long-term exposure to environmental elements.

• Flexible and adaptable to a variety of joint designs.

• Long-lasting: No deterioration over time, providing a reliable seal throughout the lifespan of the structure.
