E ME I B M C BE V P C p V o P t s p o o r Id rost Id PVC waterstop for sealing joints WHERE TO USE For waterproofing construction and expansion joints in civil, industrial and water retaining or excluding structures. Some typical application examples Waterstops are used to make water-tight, water retaining and water excluding structural joints such as swimming pools, podium, water tanks, retaining walls, tunnels, dams, culverts, canals , bridges and abutments, primary and secondary contaminants structure, spillways, water towers, waste water facilities, roof decks, basements and underground parks. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Idrostop PVC is a highly flexible waterstop especially formulated using high quality thermo-plastic vinyl resins with excellent flexibility, which create a product with good resistance to mechanical stresses and excellent chemical resistance in alkaline environments, sea-water and acidic conditions. Suggested Preparation / design check list: The dimensions and type of Idrostop PVC used for each application generally depends on the following parameters: • Structure type • Reinforcement position • Joint type and joint movement within the structure • Hydrostatic head pressure • Concrete / wall thickness • Intersection profiles / types APPLICATION PROCEDURE Idrostop PVC BIC ME (internal construction joint) & BIE ME (internal expansion joint) Waterstop for this type of joint is positioned at half the thickness of the concrete wall or as per the project design and drawings. The waterstop must be stretched and held in position utilizing the eyelets along both edges fixed to nearby reinforcement, for centrally placed BIE ME waterstop insert a suitable type of compressible material between the first and second cast of concrete to form the joint, gently vibrate the adjacent concrete to ensure total contact with the profile, honeycombs, voids and segregation should be avoided. Concrete shall totally embrace the ribs and this can be done by selecting the proper concrete mix with the correct sand and aggregate grading and the right vibrator diameter. When vibrating the concrete, care must be taken to avoid damaging or moving the waterstop. Successful application of this type of waterstop will ensure that the structure will withstand positive and negative water pressure. IDROSTOP PVC BIE ME Compressible material E I MME B C E PV C B p V sto pP o o r t Id ros Id Compressible material Layout of positioning Idrostop PVC BIE ME Idrostop PVC BEC ME (external construction joint) & BEE ME (external expansion joint) Stretch the waterstop and hold in position utilizing the eyelets along both edges by nailing the waterstop directly to the formwork or the layer of lean concrete. Compressible material IDROSTOP PVC BEE ME Layout of positioning Idrostop PVC BEE ME HOT-WELDING THE ENDS OF THE JOINT ON SITE The procedure to weld the Idrostop PVC on site and to create a perfect bond is by on site splicing using a proper thermostatically controlled welding blade and an adjustable jig. Idrostop PVC BEC ME 32 (width 32 cm) The ends of the Idrostop PVC to be welded must be cut straight and perfectly aligned using an adjustable jig. PACKAGING Idrostop PVC is supplied in 10 and 12 metre length wrapped in polyethylene. Insert the heating blade between two pieces of the Idrostop PVC until an even molten bead of PVC is formed, remove the heating blade and firmly press both ends together to achieve a perfectly fused, sealed weld. STORAGE Store in a dry place at a temperature of between +10°C and +60°C.
