Hydrophilic waterstops are used to seal concrete joints to prevent water from leaking from concrete structures by creating an impenetrable barrier. They can be used for multiple purposes, including protecting structures from the wear and tear of a constant flow of water and maintaining the desired structural integrity. The most significant advantage of hydrophilic waterstops is their ease of installation. The products get glued in place at the cold joint, and concrete is then cast on top of them. The water-stopper must be manufactured with quality raw materials, without defects. PRONIL specialises in manufacturing high-performance Hydrophilic Waterstops for construction for two decades.
PRONIL ACR: Hydrophilic Acrylic Swellable Bar for Construction Joints
PRONIL ACR is a new generation BBA Certified Product of new generation high-performance acrylic polymer-based expanding tape. It expands up to 900% when in contact with water. In a totally dry state, the product will shrink to its original installation dimension and re-expand on wetting. It is used in concrete construction for the sealing of construction joints including wall to base connections, pipe entry systems, sealing of openings and interface sections between existing and new concrete. It is easily stored in its original moisture-proof wrap in cool, dry conditions away from sunlight.
Advantages;
- Used on a variety of irregular substrates
- Forms an impermeable barrier against water in concrete
- Excellent compliance with deformed surfaces and joints
- Saves time and labour
- Easy to apply
- Simple overlap jointing on site
- No hardening time required
- No welding required
- Swell in salt water
