WATER BARS
Water bars are flexible waterstops
based on plasticized PVC produced
in specific profiles to seal
construction and expansia joints
when cast in concrete.
They are available in a range
of diff sizes and types
according to their use.
1. The density of water bar is 13 kg

1. Tensile strength is greater than

13 N / mm2 for longitudinal
and greater than 12.5 N / mm
for transverse
Profiles of water bars
CENTER STOP
centrally placed water bars O type
section in used in expansion,
contraction and construction joints, The
bulb in the center allows for movement
the structure to become accommodated
fot. The water stops are easily anchored
to the steel reinforcement usif special
tie-clips,
 REARGUARD CONSTRUCTION

The externally placed rearguard

water classes are AR section used in
construction and construction
joints compression centrally fin
assist placed fin assists with shutter
locations,
 REARGUARD EXPANSION
The externally placed rearguard
Water bars DR section are
designed with a flat top box
section, with a protruding to assist
with positioning and to provide a
chair to support the joint filler.
The section is used in expansion
joints to accommodate movement.
Applications
1. surface water bars: Installed in the face of
the concrete structure The water bar is
usually fixed on the water side of the
concrete wall or floor,
by attaching it temporarily to
formwork using fixing wire. The
protruding ribs are cast in the
concrete to provide a excellent
watertight seal as well as secure
anchoring the water bar to the
structure.
 2. Internal water bars: The water
bar is fitted in split formwork or
shutting down. Use fixing wire or
tie-clips to attach water bar to
internal reinforcement
 3. Welding Water bars are made
from thermoplastic Pvc and can
therefore be welded. The ends
are heated with on-the-welding
equipment until the pvc becomes
plastic and then it is immediately
water bars, the prefabrication of
cross, T, land corner pieces,
Advantages of water bars
(i) Multi-rib sections provide a
tortuous path and impenetrable
water check.
(ii)Easy to fix using tie-chips.
(iii)Easy on-site welding.
(iv)High strength PVC material.
