HDPE Waterstop

HDPE Waterstop

HDPE waterstop is a rubber ring. It compresses around the pipe using stainless steel clamps. This setup stops infiltration and exfiltration between the waterstop and the pipe. It is then either grouted into an existing structure or has a new structure poured around it.

Manufacturers make HDPE waterstops from high-density polyethylene. These plastic waterstops are like PVC ones. HDPE materials resist chemicals effectively. They resist hydrocarbons, acids, hot petroleum oils, solvents, and diesel fuels well. But HDPE waterstops are harder and more abrasion- and heat-resistant than PVC waterstops.

Installation:

Use brass eyelets, punched flanges, or hog rings to tie wires to nearby reinforcing bars. This keeps the waterstop in place during the concrete pour. We recommend prefabricated waterstops for changing directions.

Features & benefits:

• Strong and durable.
• High resistance to elevate and low temperature.
• Excellent anti-abrasion.
• Superior resistance to chemical liquids, hydrocarbons, acids, solvents, oils, fuels, and other non-polar fluids, etc.
• Resistant to oxidants and reducing agents.
• Not prone to swell and be flexible.
• Easy to butt-weld to form a continuous diaphragm.

Application:

• Perfect for primary and secondary containment structure.
• Sewage treatment facilities.
• Fueling areas.
• Mining and refineries facilities.
• Chemical plants
