Expansion delay coating 25 mm

DESCRIPTION
HYDROTITE CJ-0725 is a state-of-the-art hydrophilic waterstop. Comprised of non-bentonite synthetic chloroprene rubber, HYDROTITE has unmatched durability and water sealing capacity. Expanding when exposed to water, HYDROTITE conforms to gap variations along the joint. The swelling action combined with HYDROTITEs co-extrusion ensures complete sealing even under high hydrostatic head pressures. Due to its slim profile, excellent concrete consolidation can be expected around the waterstop, with little chance of the profile being moved out of position when concrete is placed. The small cross section allows most CJ profiles to be packaged in convenient 10 meter rolls weighing less than 3 kilograms. HYDROTITE CJ profiles, as well as all HYDROTITE profiles, are treated with a special delay coating to prevent it from reacting with fresh, moist concrete and expanding before curing takes place. HYDROTITE CJ-0725 is glued to a concrete footing during the construction of a new potable water reservoir

FEATURES
delay coating to prevent premature swelling co-extruded to create directional growth no difficult split forming required fast, simple and economical to install resistant to common chemicals and microbacterial attack proven track record

APPLICATION
HYDROTITE CJ-0725 is designed for sealing construction joints in new concrete structures such as: potable water reservoirs utility chambers swimming pools cast-in-place transit tunnels sewage treatment facilities parking garages bridges hydro dams HYDROTITE CJ-0725 is glued and fastened prior to the placement of a concrete traffic overlay on a large bridge rehabilitation
HYDROPHILIC WATER SEALING MATERIALS

HYDROTITE CJ-0725 is commonly installed as a waterstop between new and existing structures during facility expansion projects. Large concrete refacing and rehabilitation projects benefit from the ease of installation of HYDROTITE.

HYDROTITE CJ-0725 - Hydrophilic Waterstop for Concrete Constuction Joints

PRODUCT APPLICATION
1. General: Bond HYDROTITE profiles to smooth, even surfaces, free of dirt, oil or laitance for best results. Maintain a minimum of 50 mm concrete coverage over HYDROTITE when using 25 mPa or greater compressive strength concrete. Increase the coverage to 100 mm on reduced strength concrete. HYDROTITE CJ profiles may be installed in a formed groove of appropriate dimensions or directly on a flat concrete surface.

2. Forming Requirements: HYDROTITE CJ profiles are installed after the form is stripped from the first pour and before the second concrete pour is made. Therefore, splitting the form is not required. Due to the hydrophilic nature of the HYDROTITE product, installation of the profile should be timed as close as possible to the second placement of concrete. This will reduce the chance for premature expansion of HYDROTITE due to rain water or ground water exposure. 3. HYDROTITE / PVC Junctions: HYDROTITE CJ profiles are commonly used in conjunction with typical PVC waterstops. HYDROTITE CJ profiles should be cut to butt up directly to the PVC. Place several drops of a cyanacrylate type adhesive (super-glue) to the PVC and the cut end of HYDROTITE and immediately join the ends together. Hold in position for approximately 30 seconds to allow the adhesive to set. Apply a sufficient bead of LEAKMASTER to the HYDROTITE / PVC junction. HYDROTITE CJ-0725 and LEAKMASTER are used during many concrete rehabilitation projects

4. Bonding to Concrete: Remove all dust, oil, laitance, etc. from the concrete surface prior to installing HYDROTITE. Depending on concrete surface conditions, one of several adhesives can be used. Normal forming practice leaves a sufficiently smooth surface for direct bonding of HYDROTITE with a chloroprene rubber compatible adhesive. MULTIURETHANES PL PREMIUM ADHESIVE can be used for this purpose. This adhesive works well when applied to dry or damp concrete surfaces. Apply a sufficient bead of PL PREMIUM to the concrete substrate to insure a smooth level surface. Once this condition is met, place the HYDROTITE profile into position. Concrete nails or special fasteners maybe used as required to hold the profile in position while the adhesive cures. Concrete surfaces left rough due to jack hammering, extensive weathering, etc. should be brought to a smooth level condition. LEAKMASTER, a single component swellable sealant, can be used for this purpose when the concrete surface is dry. Apply a sufficient bead of LEAKMASTER to the rough concrete to insure that a smooth level surface will result. The HYDROTITE profile should be placed in position within 4 hours. Concrete nails or special fasteners may be used on vertical or overhead surfaces to hold the profile in position while the LEAKMASTER cures.

NOTE: In all 3 installation methods, installed HYDROTITE profiles should be inspected to ensure that no separation exists between the HYDROTITE profile and the substrate. If this is observed, apply a suitable bead of LEAKMASTER in the separation and secure with nails or special fasteners as required.

WATER

A 2-part epoxy may also be used to level extremely erratic surfaces. MULTIURETHANES GEL-LOC EPOXY can be used on rough, damp concrete surfaces to bond HYDROTITE profiles in position. The HYDROTITE profile should be applied to the bed of epoxy prior to final cure, approximately 30 minutes. Again, concrete nails may be used on vertical or overhead applications.

5. Splicing: HYDROTITE CJ profiles are designed with a cellular cross section. The cellular cross section allows the profile to compress slightly when concrete is placed and rebound as the concrete shrinks during curing. The cellular cross section also acts to control the expansive force placed on the surrounding concrete. Straight lengths of CJ profiles should be cut square with a sharp knife or good pair of shears. Place several drops of a cyanoacrylate type adhesive (super-glue) on the cut ends of HYDROTITE and immediately join the ends together. Hold in position for approximately 30 seconds to allow the adhesive to set. Proper alignment and bonding of the cut ends will prevent water entering the cells of the profile. Future hydration of the waterstop will further seal the bond area. Flat 90 corners should be spliced by miter cutting the two ends at 45 and proceeding in a manner similar to the above. Where space permits, CJ-0725 can be bent to an inside radius of approximately 50 mm about its long axis, thus eliminating a spliced joint.

6. Important Precautions:
BEND TO RADIUS

CJ CAN BE BENT TO A MINIMUM RADIUS OF APPROX. 50 mm OTHERWISE MITER AND BOND WITH SUPER-GLUE

Cracking of the concrete, caused by the expansion pressure of HYDROTITE, can be avoided by maintaining a 50 mm minimum concrete coverage. Increase this coverage if lightweight or low strength concrete (<25 mPa compressive strength) is used. Appropriate concrete placement techniques must be implemented to ensure proper concrete consolidation. HYDROTITE should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Exposure to moisture prior to installation may expand HYDROTITE prematurely. If HYDROTITE is installed in an expanded condition, the effectiveness of the seal may be severely reduced. Once installed, adequate measures should be taken to prevent exposure to rain water, ground water, etc. before the joint is covered with concrete.

Flat Ts and Xs should be made by butt slicing and joining the legs with the use of cyanacrylate adhesive. Vertical 90 corner, vertical Ts and vertical Xs should be butted and bonded with the cyanacrylate adhesive. MULTIURETHANES offers contractors prefabricated and spliced components. NOTE: All splices must be further enhanced by placing a bead of LEAKMASTER at the splice.
