Waterstop-RX101
RX 101 - 3/4" x 1"
Designed for vertical and horizontal
concrete 8" thick or greater.
Waterstop-RX 101 is an expanding strip Waterstop
designed to stop water infiltration through cast-in-place
concrete construction joints. It expands upon contact with
water to form a positive seal against concrete. The key
Waterstop-RX's effectiveness is high sodium bentonite
content which provides superior expansion to seal and fill
voids and cracks in the concrete. Waterstop-RX is
designed to replaces passive PVC/ rubber dumbbell
waterstops, thereby eliminating the requirement of special
pieces, split-forming and seam welding. Specified
worldwide, Waterstop-RX has a 25 year proven track
record as a reliable and cost-effective solution for
stopping water ingress through concrete joints.
Waterstop-RX 101 is manufactured in light weight,
flexible rolls that are easily installed by a single worker.
The product is adhered to concrete, steel, and PVC with
WB-Adhesive. Roll ends are butted ,together not
overlapped, to form a continuous Waterstop.
Waterstop-RX 101 has been successfully tested by
independent testing firms to over 70 meters (231ft) of
hydrostatic water pressure, under both continuous
immersion and wet/dry cycling. Waterstop-RX 101 is
certified by NSF International to conform to the
requirements of NSF Standard 61 Drinking Water System
Components Health Effects.
Waterstop-RX 101 is produced in a rectangular shape
measuring 25mm x 19mm (1” x 3/4”).
