Function: PVC Waterbars are embedded in concrete joints to prevent water from passing through, particularly in structures exposed to hydrostatic pressure.
Applications: They are commonly used in basements, tunnels, water treatment plants, swimming pools, reservoirs, and other water-retaining or water-excluding structures.
Material: Made from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PVC), they are designed to be durable, flexible, and resistant to various environmental conditions and chemicals.
Installation: Waterbars are available in different profiles and sizes to suit various construction needs and joint types (e.g., expansion, contraction, or movement joints).
Importance: Proper installation is crucial for preventing water leakage and maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of the concrete structure.
