SpECtite Swellseal Polybar is a hydrophilic waterstop based on synthetic rubber for use in construction joints subject to saline water penetration. SpECtite Swellseal Polybar exhibits good resistance to a wide range of chemicals (see Chemical Resistance below) and presents a unique characteristic of swelling many times its dry volume when in contact with ground/saline water to form an impenetrable gel capable of resisting hydrostatic pressures of up to 60 meters.
TYPICAL USES
SpECtite Swellseal Polybar is a very effective waterstop seal in the following situations:
- Construction joint
- Pipe and cable penetrations
- New to existing concrete
- Sealing irregular concrete surfaces
