Description
- *Material*: Flexible plastic (often PVC or rubber-like polymer).
- *Appearance*: Orange, ribbed or corrugated strips coiled in transparent plastic bags.
- *Function*: Designed to be embedded in concrete joints (expansion or construction joints) to prevent water infiltration or leakage.
Uses in construction
1. *Waterproofing*: Acts as a barrier to stop water passage through concrete joints in structures like dams, reservoirs, basements, or retaining walls.
2. *Joint sealing*: Installed in expansion joints to accommodate movement while maintaining watertightness.
3. *Durability*: Enhances the longevity of concrete structures by preventing water-induced damage or reinforcement corrosion.
