Idrostop
Idrostop is a hydrophilic, expandable, pre-formed, flexible rubber strip based on acrylic polymers. It is designed to swell upon contact with water, creating a positive pressure seal within construction joints to prevent water passage.
Applications & Uses
- Sealing construction joints in concrete foundations and walls - Pipe penetrations and steel H-piles - Sealing joints in tunnels and hydraulic structures
Features & Benefits
- Swells up to 120% of its initial volume - Non-toxic and bentonite-free (does not wash away) - Effective against both positive and negative water pressure (up to 5 atm) - Retains elasticity after repeated wet/dry cycles - Resistant to saltwater and sewage
