Laxmi Rubber PVC Water Stops Sheet

Product Details

PVC Water Stops Sheet is profiles based on specifically formulated plasticized PVC composition. Water stops are used in concrete masonry construction of hydraulic structures to safeguard from hydrostatic pressure and water seepage. Waterstops also withstand expansion or contraction of joints and take care of any deflection or displacement arising due to change in temperature or settlement of foundation or settlement of foundation eliminating the danger of cracks. These are engineered as Water Tight Seals in poured concrete structures. The water stops are tested in the factory as per ASTM, and the performance requirement of water stops will meet the Bureau of Indian Standard Specification IS: 12200/1987.Applications:Public Utilities:Bridges, Road Embankments, Concrete Roads, Tunnels, Water Tanks, Swimming Pools, Municipal Hydraulic Projects, Clarifies, Sewage Disposal Systems Neutralization Tanks.Buildings:Basement Foundations Floor Slabs, Terrace, Concrete Runways, Retaining Walls, Overhead Undergrounds Water Tanks, Multi Storeyed Buildings.Industries:Fertilizer, Steel Effluent Treatment Plants, Thermal Power Stations, Atomic Reactors, Shipyards Docks, Cooling Towers.Agriculture:Dams, Canals, Aqueducts, Large Reservations, Irrigation Project.Properties:Good ageing longer lifeHigh Mechanical StrengthImmune to corrosion.High Electricity Stretch StrengthOptimum resilienceExcellent weather resistantEffective in tropical climatesEasy welding installationLower water absorption than rubber.Non-hazardous and Fire retardant.Unaffected by acids, alkalies, metal salts and other chemicals.High Tensile Strength.Can bear shocks of heavy turbines earthquakes, floods.Works as Water Tight Seal.Allows safe passage of seepage water.Withstands high Hydrostatic pressure.Selection Of Laxmi Flex Pvc Water Stops:Selection of the Water Stops depends upon hydrostatic pressure or safe passage of seepage water.Dumb Bell type to be used for substantial expansion/contraction of joints takes place.Serrated type to be used for differential settlement and firm grip in concrete is required.The overall width of water stops shall not be greater than the thickness of concrete.The distance between the concrete face and Waterstops shall be not less than half of the width of water stops.The width of the water stops shall be at least 6 times the largest aggregate used for satisfactory compaction.Installation Jointing:Firstly one-half of the water stops are embedded in the concrete leaving the second half extended.The second half is also embedded leaving the centre bulb for expansion and contraction.Care should be exercised in pouring concrete without misaligning the water stops.The above data are based on tests which are reliable.
