Water Stopper By Softex Industrial Products Pvt. Ltd.

Water Stops are flexible Plastic strips which provide a physical barrier to Water at concrete joints, mostly in basements, Water retaining structures like Water tanks, Swimming pools, structural foundations & other below ground level constructions.

A typical water stop have two identical halves on both side of a central bulb. These additional extensions are provided with the aim of increasing path length for water entering behind the edge of water stop.

PVC Waterstops acts as sealants at RCC Masonry concrete joints & prevent any seepage of water in or out though joints.

Water stoppers withstand expansion or contraction movement at joints and take care of any deflection or displacement arising due to change in temperature, differential settlement of foundation, Geo disturbances causing Seismic forces like earth quack, thus eliminating danger of cracks.

Types :

Ribbed Type- multipurpose design, used where differential settlement of poured concrete is expected and a firm grip in concrete is desired.

Dumbbell Type- Greater variation in temperature causes expansion or contraction of joints, Dumbbell type waterstops is suggested for these sites.

Kicker (Surface) Type: these are externally placed and are use where embedded types can not be used due to interference of steel reinforcement.
