PVC waterstops (also known as PVC waterbars or water stoppers) used in civil engineering and construction. [1, 2]
Key Features & Uses
Function: Embedded directly into concrete construction or expansion joints during a pour to act as a continuous, watertight barrier against hydrostatic pressure and liquid seepage. [1, 2]
Common Applications: Basements, water retaining structures (reservoirs, swimming pools, water towers, and dams), retaining walls, and civil engineering projects. [1, 2, 3]
Material & Design: Made from flexible, durable plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P) with ribbed edges or center bulbs to accommodate structural movement and anchor firmly into the surrounding concrete
