PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
- MC-Waterstop is made from heat-resistant, elastic PVC. The product is used for expansion joints and stop joints in concrete structures. MC-Waterstop comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, suitable for all construction needs.
PRODUCT PROPERTIES:
- Flexible and has good elasticity.
- Good chemical resistance.
- Available in many different forms for different joints.
- Easy to apply.
AREAS OF APPLICATION: MC-Waterstop is used to fill expansion joints and stop joints in the following concrete structures:
➢ Basements
➢ Water tanks
➢ Swimming pools
➢ Tunnels, underground sewers
➢ Retaining walls
➢ Hydroelectric dams,…
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:
| Color: | Yellow. |
| Packaging: | 20m roll. |
| Storage: | Store in cool, dry conditions. |
APPLICATION NOTES:
- MC-Waterstop positioning: MC-Waterstop is positioned in the middle of the structure before pouring concrete. It can be positioned between two formwork sections or between reinforcement layers via small holes on MC-Waterstop with metal wires, so that MC-Waterstop does not move during concrete pouring.
- Concrete pouring:
➢ MC-Waterstop can only perform its function when both sides are in the concrete and are not bent. Concrete must be thoroughly tamped to avoid honeycombing.
➢ Note: when pouring concrete near the MC-Waterstop position, avoid the situation where the pressure on both sides of the MC-Waterstop is not equal, pour evenly on both sides of the MC-Waterstop so that the MC-Waterstop does not fold.
➢ Before pouring the second layer of concrete, clean the MC-Waterstop surface, for example: dirt, adhesive concrete mortar layer, etc.
- Welding:
➢ Use an MC-Bauchemie electric welding knife to weld on site. Heat both ends of the MC-Waterstop simultaneously with both sides of the welding knife until the PVC becomes evenly molten.
➢ Remove the welding knife and immediately join the two ends of the weld together, holding the joint firmly until the heated PVC cools and solidifies.
➢ Check the weld for gaps or imperfections, re-weld if necessary.
