Hydrotite
Hydrotite
Hydrotite is hydrophilic waterstop which expands in a controlled fashion in the presence of moisture to create a pressure seal within construction joints in concrete structures.
Parchem is the certified local distributor of Hydrotite in Australia and New Zealand and is authorised to provide approved technical support and product warranties.
Typical Applications
- Construction joints in water retaining and water excluding structures
Advantages
- Self-adhesive makes installation easier and reduces construction costs
- Co-extruded design means expansion is directed across the joint for maximum seal
- Delay coating to help prevent premature expansion
- Unaffected by repeated wet and dry cycles
- No site welding as is required for traditional PVC waterstops
- No need for special intersections, joining is by simple butt joins
- Can be applied to rough surfaces using Leakmaster gungrade waterstop
- Can be joined to traditional PVC waterstop
- No compaction or displacement problems
- Non toxic and non hazardous
