Product Description – PVC Waterstop
One of the problems that has always existed in the implementation of water structures has been the penetration of water through the operational and expansion joints, which are similar to tanks and pools, and also the main point for the passage of water is the concrete cut-off joints. It has been observed that old water structures that have been implemented using traditional methods face the problem of water reduction, and given the water shortage crisis that exists in the country, it is considered a major problem. Concrete joints must be sealed with waterstop sealing strips to secure the concrete cut-off joint against water penetration. The sealing strips (waterstop) produced by Beton Plast Chemical Company are designed and produced with the help of the most advanced machinery in the world, based on current knowledge and the best raw materials (PVC) polyvinyl chloride. PVC waterstops are widely used to prevent water from passing through the operational and expansion joints of concrete structures and are also connected to the rebar structure by clamps or wires. Waterstops can be produced in widths of 15-17-20-22-30-32-40 cm with thicknesses of 2 to 6 mm.
In general, a pool waterstop is a flexible material used to insulate concrete structures. These types of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) waterstops are usually prepared across or along joints in concrete. Concrete waterstops have high elasticity and can be said to be very resistant to many chemicals in water. It is important to note that when determining and selecting waterstops, the type of connection, chemical containment requirements, type of material, head hydrostatic pressure requirements, joint movement requirements, and the specifications and size of the waterstop are very important and you must definitely consider the above specifications.
Waterstop sealing strips can be produced with an elongation of 240 to 450, depending on the needs of the concrete structure. Waterstop rolls are usually packaged in 25-meter lengths.

How to use PVC waterstop
What is the correct way to use PVC waterstop?
Choosing the width of the water stop
PVC waterstops are designed and manufactured in different widths of 15 – 17 – 20 – 22 – 24 – 30 – 32 and 40 cm by Beton Plast Chemical Company. Each one is selected based on the conditions in the concrete structure, including the thickness and width of the concrete, the applied static pressures, the height of the water, etc., and is used in the concrete section. However, in normal conditions and structures with average conditions, the width of the waterstop is usually chosen equal to the thickness of the concrete wall or floor in question. It should be noted that, if possible, a waterstop with a width less than the thickness of the wall or floor should not be used.
Choosing the width and thickness of the water stop based on water pressure
The selection of waterstop sealing strips in concrete walls and floors in terms of width and thickness is directly related to the pressure and height of water in the structure. Based on this, extensive tests have been conducted and finally, based on the EM110-2 standard, the required width and thickness for the waterstop is selected and used according to the pressure and height of water in the structure according to the chart below.
