Hydrophilic Swellable Water Bar
Hydrophilic Swellable Water Bar is a flexible, synthetic strip (usually rubber, bentonite, or polymer-based) that expands in contact with water, thereby sealing construction joints to prevent water leakage. It is used in waterproofing applications in below-grade and water-retaining concrete structures.
A Swellable Water Bar is a specially engineered product that swells upon contact with water at construction sites and, thus, avoids leakage through construction joints. It is made to prevent water infiltration through concrete joints and is therefore of great importance in tunnel, dam, or foundation construction.
