About PVC Water Stopper With Centre Bulb 230 x 6 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.
Application in construction industry
- The PVC water stopper acts as a sealant at RCC Masonry concrete joints alongside preventing any water seepage through the joints.

Superior Waterproofing for Construction JointsThe PVC Water Stopper with Centre Bulb provides vital waterproofing at concrete joints in structures like basements, swimming pools, water tanks, and foundations. Its unique centre bulb design increases the effective length water must travel, maximizing leakage prevention. This makes it especially suitable for water-retaining and underground constructions where robust water barriers are essential.
Exceptional Durability and Chemical ResistanceCrafted using an anti-ageing plastic compound with PVC as the base polymer, this stopper resists acids, alkalis, salts, and a range of other chemicals. Its high elasticity and tensile strength enable it to withstand substantial hydrostatic pressures, heavy shocks, and even seismic events, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding construction environments.
FAQ's of PVC Water Stopper With Centre Bulb 230 x 6 mm:
Q: How is a PVC Water Stopper with centre bulb installed in RCC construction?
A: A PVC Water Stopper with a centre bulb is installed during the concreting process at joints, such as expansion and construction joints. It is anchored into the formwork so that half of the stopper is embedded in the first concrete pour and the other half is secured when the subsequent section of concrete is cast. This placement ensures a continuous water barrier.
Q: What sizes are available for the PVC Water Stopper with centre bulb?
A: This water stopper is available in multiple sizes, including 150 mm, 200 mm, 230 mm, 240 mm, 250 mm, and 300 mm, with a thickness of 6 mm. Such variety allows for flexibility in application, depending on the specific width and requirements of the construction joint.
Q: Where can this product be used in construction projects?
A: The PVC Water Stopper with centre bulb is extensively used in water-retaining structures like water tanks, swimming pools, basements, retaining walls, and below-ground constructions. It is particularly useful for sealing joints to prevent water seepage in RCC structures.
Q: What benefits does the centre bulb design provide?
A: The centre bulb acts as an expansion joint, absorbing movement and deformation that may occur due to settlement, temperature changes, or seismic activity. It also increases the effective path for water attempting to seep through, thus enhancing waterproofing performance.
Q: What materials and properties make this stopper suitable for harsh environments?
A: Made from Poly Vinyl Chloride with a customized anti-ageing compound, the stopper exhibits high elasticity, tensile strength, and resistance to corrosion. It remains unaffected by acids, salts, alkalis, and various chemicals-making it ideal for challenging construction conditions.
Q: How can one benefit from using PVC water stoppers from Sandhya Enterprises?
A: Clients benefit from reliable quality, tailor-fit sizing, and proven performance. Sandhya Enterprises' stoppers are durable, easy to install, and provide a cost-effective solution for watertight construction joints, reducing the risk of structural water damage.
