About PVC Water Stopper 150 x 5 mm
Sandhya Enterprises are one of the top manufacturers in India. Water Stoppers are the flexible plastic strips that are used to provide a physical barrier to water. The barriers can be at concrete joints in basements, water-retaining structures like water tanks, swimming pools, structural foundations and other constructions of below ground level. Water stoppers are also known as water bars and seal construction joints. In a typical water stopper, there are two identical halves on both sides of the central bulb. They serve as an additional extension aiming to increase the path length for water entering behind the edge of water stopper.
Compounding of PVC Water Stopper
Anti-ageing customized plastic compound is used for manufacturing the water stoppers. Alongside, it has PVC as a base polymer. Moreover, the properties it exhibit are high elasticity and tensile strength, immunity to corrosion, excellent weather resistance, unaffected by acids, alkalis, metals, salts and other chemicals. Other properties include lower water absorption, high hydrostatic pressure withstanding capacity, heavy turbine shock bearing alongside earthquakes and floods.
Advanced Barrier TechnologyFeaturing a center bulb design with identical halves on each side, the PVC Water Stopper offers an elongated pathway for water attempting to permeate joints. This innovative design significantly reduces the risk of water ingress, making it ideal for critical water-retaining and below-ground structures. Manufactured using high-quality poly vinyl chloride, this water stopper combines longevity with optimal performance.
Comprehensive Chemical ResistanceThis product stands out due to its immunity to a wide range of aggressive substances including acids, alkalis, salts, and various industrial chemicals. Its low water absorption and resilience against hydrostatic pressure make it suitable for challenging construction environments, including those vulnerable to floods or seismic activity.
Multiple Applications in ConstructionPerfect for RCC masonry concrete joints, the PVC Water Stopper is extensively used in basements, swimming pools, water tanks, and foundations. Sandhya Enterprises provides various sizes and types, catering to both large-scale infrastructure and smaller construction projects. Its flexibility and robust construction ensure a long service life, even under heavy operational and environmental stresses.
FAQ's of PVC Water Stopper 150 x 5 mm:
Q: How is the PVC Water Stopper 150 x 5 mm installed in construction projects?
A: The PVC Water Stopper is embedded in concrete at the joints during pouring, ensuring both halves sit securely on either side of the central bulb. This integration seals the joint and creates a flexible barrier to prevent water penetration.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using a PVC Water Stopper with a center bulb design?
A: The center bulb design extends the water pathway and enhances flexibility, accommodating structural movement and ensuring a more effective seal against water leaks in both horizontal and vertical concrete joints.
Q: When should I use a PVC Water Stopper in my construction project?
A: PVC Water Stoppers are most crucial for joints in water-retaining structures such as tanks, swimming pools, and basements, or wherever there's a risk of water ingress through concrete joints, especially below ground level.
Q: Where can these water stoppers be applied besides water tanks and basements?
A: They are also suitable for use in foundations, retaining walls, tunnels, treatment plants, and other concrete structures that require robust waterproofing at their joints.
Q: What is the manufacturing process for this type of water stopper?
A: Sandhya Enterprises manufactures these water stoppers using a customized, anti-ageing PVC compound. The process includes extrusion and precision molding for accurate dimensions, ensuring high elasticity and weather resistance.
Q: What advantages does this product offer regarding chemical and environmental resistance?
A: The PVC Water Stopper resists corrosion and degradation caused by acids, alkalis, salts, metals, and adverse weather, ensuring durability even in chemically aggressive or flood-prone environments.
