SURE-STOP® PVC WATERSTOP

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CORKJOINT Sure-Stop PVC Waterstops lead the way in high technology waterstops and comply to international standards.

1/4
Sure-Stop PVC Waterstops are extruded from specially compounded PVC in accordance with BS2571. They are designed
for use in water retaining and water excluding structures where a positive seal is required for poured in-situ concrete
expansion, construction and contraction joints.

The range of profiles for both centrally and externally placed applications when embedded into the concrete, form a
continuous barrier making Sure-Stop PVC Waterstops ideal for preventing water penetration.

These profiles are available in rolls with separate intersections supplied to simplify and minimise on-site fabrication.

Concrete structures are only as watertight as the waterstops that join them. Sure-Stop Waterstops are designed to allow
for expansion, contraction and other movements that can cause joints to open and close.

The efficiency of any waterstop is very dependent on good workmanship and on full compaction of the surrounding
concrete. Optimum performance will be achieved if the waterstop is installed by keeping these factors in mind.

CT-14844/SL/1. Project specific material properties can be custom compounded to suit. Material properties can vary
between batches.

PROFILE WIDTH SELECTION

The width of waterstop depends on the thickness of the concrete and positioning of the reinforcement. The thickness of
the concrete should be greater than or equal to the width of the waterstop profile. Refer to CORKJOINT for further information.

SITE JOINING
CORKJOINT recommends the use of its specialized welding equipment for on-site welding which consists of
thermostatically-controlled welding blades and special welding jigs (each type of CORKJOINT Sure-Stop PVC Waterstop
requires its own welding jig to suit the particular shape). On-site joining is a simple exercise using CORKJOINT Heat
Welding Equipment comprising of an adjustable welding jig and heating blade. The ends of the waterstop are cut square
and placed into the adjustable jig. The ends of the waterstop then slide up against the heating blade and bring the two
ends together until the molten ends of the PVC fuse. When ordering welding equipment, please advise profile number of
waterstop required.

HEALTH & SAFETY: Joining of PVC Waterstops is performed by heat welding which results in the discharge of hydrogen
chloride mist and vapour. In confined spaces or in still air conditions, the use of a ventilation fan or
a suitable respirator should be adopted.

WRITTEN SPECIFICATIONS
