Water Swellble Bar 25x25mm

About Water Swellble Bar 25x25mm

Heres a detailed overview of a Water Swellable Bar with the dimensions 25 x 25 mm, typically used for waterproofing and sealing applications in construction and other industrial environments.

Water Swellable Bar (25 x 25 mm)

Product Description:

A Water Swellable Bar is a hydrophilic sealing product designed to expand when exposed to water. The 25 x 25 mm size is commonly used to seal joints, gaps, and penetrations in concrete structures, preventing water infiltration. Upon contact with water, the bar swells to create an effective barrier that blocks moisture, ensuring waterproofing and improving the structural integrity of buildings, tunnels, basements, and other underground applications.

Key Features:

• Water-Activated Expansion: The bar swells when it comes into contact with water, expanding by up to 300% of its original size to form a tight, watertight seal.

• Durable and Long-lasting: Resistant to damage from environmental exposure, providing a permanent seal for long-term performance.

• Non-Toxic and Safe: Made from non-toxic materials, making it safe for use in various construction environments.

• Weather-Resistant: Performs well in both wet and dry conditions, ideal for use in diverse climates.

• Easy to Install: Can be applied to concrete joints, cracks, and pipe penetrations, requiring minimal equipment for installation.

Typical Specifications:

Applications:

• Construction Joints: Used in construction joints to provide waterproof sealing and prevent water from seeping into buildings and structures.

• Basement and Foundation Sealing: Ideal for sealing foundations, basements, and other below-grade structures prone to water ingress.

• Tunnel and Subway Projects: Provides an effective seal in tunnels and underground structures, protecting against moisture damage.

• Pipe Penetrations: Used around pipes and other penetrations in concrete to create a waterproof barrier.

• Swimming Pools: Commonly used in swimming pool construction to prevent leaks and ensure water-tightness.

Benefits:

• Effective Waterproofing: Ensures a strong seal against water ingress, protecting structures from damage due to water seepage.

• Permanent Sealing: Once activated by water, the bar continues to perform without requiring maintenance or reapplication.

• Low Maintenance: Minimal maintenance is required once installed, making it cost-effective in the long run.

• Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from joint sealing to pipe penetration sealing.

• Environmentally Friendly: Made from non-toxic materials, contributing to safer, more sustainable construction practices.

Customization Options:

• Different Sizes: Available in various sizes and lengths to suit different sealing needs (custom dimensions are often available).

• Various Materials: Different formulations of water-swellable materials (such as EPDM, SBR, or special blends) are available based on the application environment (e.g., higher temperature or pressure resistance).

• Custom Colors: Black is the standard color, but other colors can be requested for specific visibility or aesthetic purposes.

Installation:

• Simple Application: The bar is typically installed by placing it in joints or around penetrations before the concrete is poured, or it can be applied to the surface of existing structures.

• No Curing Required: Once the water swellable bar is in place and exposed to moisture, it begins to swell, forming an effective, tight seal without needing further activation.

• Secure Placement: In some cases, adhesive or mechanical fastening may be used to secure the bar in place, particularly in high-pressure or high-stress areas.

Advantages:

• Waterproofing Efficiency: Excellent for keeping structures dry and protected from water damage, particularly in underground and foundation applications.

• High Expansion Ratio: Can expand up to 300%, which allows it to fill even small gaps and cracks.

• Non-corrosive: Since it's made from rubber or polymers, it doesn't rust or degrade over time.

• Reduced Construction Time: Easy to install, saving time on complex waterproofing systems.
