Krytonite Swellable Waterstop 5mm x 20mm x 10m

Krytonite Swelling Waterstop is a high performance elastomeric waterstop made from hydrophilic synthetic rubber. Krytonite delivers high performance waterproofing in a cost effective and easy to install solution. Krytonite uses swelling pressure to seal concrete construction joints and penetrations to stop water in the most extreme conditions. Krytonite is extremely durable and will not deteriorate over time. Krytonite contains NO bentonite.

Krytonite is designed to replace molded PVC waterstops and bentonite based waterstops. Krytonite can be used by itself as a single protection waterstop or with other components of the Krystol Waterstop System as part of a double or triple protection system.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Greater swelling and sealing performance than other waterstops
• Resistant to high hydrostatic pressure
• Flexible and easy to install
• Extremely durable – will not deteriorate even with repeated wetting and drying cycles
• Innovative trapezoid shape resists dislodgement and allows better concrete consolidation
• Controlled swelling allows for concrete strength development in advance of swelling pressure
• Standard version (yellow) – Seals even against salt and contaminated sources of water

APPLICATION

Installers must read and follow the applicable Application Instruction 4.11, 4.15 or 4.16.

Basic Application Procedure: Using Krytonite Adhesive, or other approved fastening device, adhere Krytonite Swelling Waterstop at or near the center of the construction joint to clean dry concrete surface. For added long-term protection of the outboard reinforcing steel, apply Krystol Waterstop Treatment to the concrete surface first and adhere Krytonite to the treatment when it is dry. Ends should be tightly butted and not overlapped. Avoid rain or immersion in water as this may cause premature swelling and result in loss of bond to the adhesive. If premature swelling occurs, dry the Krytonite sufficiently to restore its original dimensions and ensure material is properly bonded to the surface before pouring concrete.
