Descripción
Idrostop is a preformed, soft and elastic rectangular section profile, based on acrylic polymers, expressly studied to make, in the construction sector, waterproof work joints up to a hydraulic pressure of 5 atm.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Idrostop does not contain bentonite.
- Thanks to its chemical composition, Idrostop, in permanent contact with water, expands gradually, creating an active barrier against water pressure (positive and negative).
- Unlike other materials that tend to lose effectiveness after repeated cycles of expansion and contraction, Idrostop maintains its properties unchanged even in the presence of aggressive waters such as, for example, saline waters (seawater), those from purification facilities. or, sewage.
- Idrostop is stable at temperatures between -30°C and +50°C
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Idrostop cannot be installed if the structure, at the time of application of the tape, is submerged in water. Take measures to eliminate any free water from the surface and wait a few hours before proceeding with installation.
- Idrostop cannot be used if the installation surface is heavily contaminated by acids or solvents. In this case, carry out a careful cleaning of the surface and consult the MAPEI Technical Assistance service.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Creation of waterproof work joints for civil, industrial and hydraulic construction sector.
Typical application examples
- Waterproof concreting joints between slabs and concrete lifting walls.
- Waterproof contact joints between different construction materials, such as steel and concrete or stone and concrete.
- Contact joints between materials of different nature, which are generated, for example, as a result of the passage of PVC or steel pipes through concrete works in swimming pools, purification tanks, cisterns and hydraulic works in general.
- Impervious cooling joints (temporary shrinkage joints) created during pouring to decrease the risk of injury to long, monolithic structures.
- Waterproof work joints where, due to the high density of the reinforcement, traditional “water-stops” cannot be installed easily and safely.
- Waterproof work joints in tunnels, dams and hydraulic works, including drinking water tanks.
