plc. water stopper seal

Product Description

A PVC Water Stopper Seal is a waterproofing solution used in construction joints in concrete structures to prevent water leakage. Its made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and provides an impermeable barrier that ensures that water does not infiltrate the joint, even in environments with high water pressure.

PVC water stopper seals are typically used in dams, swimming pools, tunnels, water tanks, and foundations where water tightness is crucial.

Key Specifications of PVC Water Stopper Seals:

Function and Purpose:

• Waterproofing: Primarily used to seal construction joints in concrete structures to prevent water from seeping through.

• Expansion and Contraction: PVC water stoppers are designed to withstand concrete movement, accommodating thermal expansion or settling of structures without compromising the seal.

• High Water Pressure Resistance: Ideal for high-pressure water environments where a durable, reliable seal is necessary, such as in dams, underground tunnels, and water tanks.

Applications:

• Dams, reservoirs, and hydroelectric plants for water-tightness between concrete pours

• Swimming pools, fountains, and water treatment tanks

• Sewage and stormwater systems to prevent water ingress in treatment plants and pipelines

• Underground tunnels, subways, and subterranean infrastructure

• Foundations, basements, and retaining walls in buildings

• Bridges, roads, and railway structures to manage water flow at construction joints

Advantages:

• Prevents Leakage: Provides long-lasting waterproofing to ensure that concrete structures remain dry and protected from water damage.

• Durable: Resistant to abrasion, UV degradation, and chemical exposure, ensuring a long life even in harsh environmental conditions.

• Flexible: Can be easily adapted to various joint shapes, including straight, curved, or angular joints.

• Cost-effective: PVC is generally more affordable than other sealing materials, making it a budget-friendly option for large-scale projects.

• Easy to Install: Can be installed during concrete pouring by positioning it within the joint area, where it will expand and form a waterproof barrier once the concrete sets.

• Environmentally Friendly: PVC is recyclable, reducing environmental impact while providing high performance.

Installation Process:

1. Positioning the Water Stopper: Place the water stopper in the middle of the construction joint, typically inside the formwork before pouring the concrete.

2. Concrete Pouring: Pour concrete over the water stopper. As the concrete sets, the PVC will expand, creating an impermeable seal against water penetration.

3. Expansion & Sealing: The PVC material is designed to expand when in contact with wet concrete, which helps it bond tightly and form a solid waterproof barrier.

4. End Fittings: For continuous application, molded corners, connectors, or overlapping sections can be used to maintain the seal around joints and corners.

Performance Features:

• Waterproof and Watertight Seal: Provides a reliable barrier against water even under high-pressure conditions.

• Chemical Resistance: Effective for applications involving exposure to mild chemicals, such as in water treatment facilities or sewage systems.

• Flexibility and Durability: Adapts to joint movements while maintaining its integrity and preventing water ingress.

• Long-lasting: PVC water stoppers do not degrade easily, providing permanent water resistance in concrete structures.
