Description
EBUILD® PVC Waterbar is an essential product used in construction to prevent water penetration through concrete joints, ensuring the durability and integrity of structures. These flexible PVC profiles are embedded in concrete to form a continuous barrier that stops water from seeping through expansion and construction joints. They are particularly effective in applications such as basements, tunnels, water reservoirs, and sewage treatment plants, where waterproofing is critical. Sika Waterbars are designed to accommodate the natural movement of concrete structures, such as expansion and contraction, while maintaining a watertight seal. The choice of the appropriate shape and size of the waterbar is crucial to its effectiveness, and Sika offers a variety of profiles to suit different construction needs.
EBUILD® PVC watersbars are extruded from high-grade PVC compounds, designed for sealing movement and construction joints in reinforced concrete structures.
Uses of Waterbars
Ebuild PVC Waterbars, used in concrete for the sealing of construction and expansion joints, are embedded in concrete, across and along the joint, to form a continuous watertight diaphragm that prevents the passage of fluid through the joint. The many shapes centrally and externally placed allow lasting watertight seals in any grades of construction design. They are typically used in water retaining and including structure such as:
- Reservoirs
- Sewage tanks
- Dams
- Pools
- Basements
- Tunnels retaining walls, etc
Advantages
- Will accommodate movement during construction and service life
- Ease of use simple on-site jointing
- Full range of factory welded and fabricated intersection pieces to suit every need
- Brass reinforced eyelets edge flanges to ensure perfect fixing
- Approval for use in contact with portable water
