When <br />exposed to water, the rubber expands, creating a compression seal within <br />the joint or pipe penetration, blocking the passage of water.</p> <p>Start of swelling (water contact)</p> <p>approx. 6 hours</p> <p>Swelling capacity</p> <p>approx. 50% after 2 hours <br />approx. 460% after 24 hours <br />approx. 850% after 8 days</p> <p>Expansive pressure</p> <p>1.06 N/mm2</p> <p>Toxicity</p> <p>none</p> <p>Typical Applications: <br />• Vertical and horizontal cast-in-place concrete joints where limited <br />movement is expected. <br />• Around through-wall pipe penetrations. <br />• Ideal for new concrete structures or between new and existing concrete.</p> <p>Application temperatures</p> <p>14°F (-10°C) – 113°F (45°C).</p> <p>IEQ Credit 4.1, Low-Emitting Materials - Adhesives & Sealants...1 Point <br />Using this AQUAFIN product can help contribute to LEED certification of projects in the category <br />shown above.</p> <p>Advantages: <br />• Easy to use <br />• Rapid expansion <br />• Dimensionally stable, even at high temperatures <br />• Reproducible swell after wet/dry cycling <br />• Suitable for fresh and salt water <br />• Contains no bentonite <br />Substrate Preparation: <br />• Concrete surfaces and/or pipe must be clean and free from laitance, <br />dirt, dust and any other bond inhibiting substances. <br />Application: <br />• It is essential that there is at least 3” coverage of concrete from the side <br />exposed to water. <br />• Bond Waterstop-Strip with a suitable adhesive, such as Bostic ISR 940A, <br />3M 740 Hybrid, SoudaSeal FC or equal. <br />• Apply a bead of adhesive and press the Waterstop-Strip into the <br />adhesive until it oozes out from beneath. A 3⁄16” x ¼” (~4.5 - 6mm) bead <br />will yield approximately 30 lineal ft (9 m) of coverage. Do not begin <br />the placement of concrete for at least 8 hours after bonding. Ensure that <br />the waterstop makes complete contact with the substrate. Waterstop <br />connections can be made by overlapping by 2” (50 mm) or by butt <br />jointing. The waterstops must be placed tightly together to prevent <br />gaps. Butt jointed waterstops must be covered by a separate section of <br />waterstop with a 1¼” (31.75 mm) overlap to both sections. <br />• Alternately, Waterstop-Strip can be fastened with masonry nails, 1½ – <br />2” (40 – 50mm) long with a ¾” (20 mm) diameter washer. Space nails <br />at a maximum of 8” (200 mm) centers with a minimum spacing to ensure <br />proper substrate contact. <br />Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>Limitations: <br />• Store the waterstop dry. <br />• Protect the waterstop from moisture until the concrete is poured. <br />• Before concrete placement, visually inspect the waterstop. <br />Swollen waterstop is unsuitable and must be removed. <br />• Do not use around PE pipe. <br />Shelf Life: <br />2 years, stored dry, frost free, in the original unopened packaging. <br />Packaging: <br />Roll = 131 lineal feet (40 meters) <br />Box = 5 rolls (655 ln ft (200 m))</p> <p>Waterstop-Strip</p> <p>Page 1 of 2</p> <p>(01/15/19 BE, SM)</p> <p>Waterstop-Strip <br />Note: <br />Proper application is the responsibility of the user.
