Steel Edge Rubber waterstop

Introduction:

Steel edge waterstop is a rubber waterstop with a non-uniform thickness. It has strong and waterproof zones to ensure even stress on all parts. Add holes on the waterstop’s steel plate to connect with the steel bars. This will ensure a secure, fixed connection that won’t easily displace.

Steel-edge waterstop is a modified rubber waterstop. It has steel plate rings in the middle of vulcanized rubber. The steel-edge waterstop is a top choice for high-pressure, variable-structure sites. It has high liquid-tightness and absorbs shear movements. Use it for expansion and contraction joints.

Applications:

After the structure settles, concrete will shrink and creep. The rubber parts of steel-edge waterstops will stretch and thin to match these changes. It won’t affect the bond between the steel plates and the rubber, or the concrete. The steel-edge waterstops can withstand more tension and torsion than traditional ones. They also prevent concrete from loosening, breaking, and leaking cracks.

The steel edge water stop belt, or steel edge rubber water stop belt, has a unique design. Its rubber section features a non-uniform thickness. This design creates two areas: a strong area and a waterproof area. As a result, stress is evenly distributed across the belt. The installation hole in the steel plate of the water stop connects to the steel bar. This connection is secure and stable. It ensures that the force is even and balanced across all parts.

The long wall of the steel edge water stop’s telescopic hole is flat. It has a large contact area for the plate mold clamping during construction. This design makes it less likely to shift. The steel plate connects to the steel bar through installation holes. These holes are secure and resist displacement. Construction joints use the steel edge rubber waterstop. It works well for waterfront structures in all underground stations. However, it does not apply to mine stations or shield sections.

Features

Steel-side waterstop, also called steel-edge waterstop, is the upgraded product of rubber waterstop. It can solve the problem mentioned above properly. The composition includes two parts: a strength part and a waterproofing part. Galvanized steel makes up the strength part. The waterproofing part uses rubber, including natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile rubber, and EPDM. Workers insert galvanized steel plates into rubber sheets. Steel-side waterstop has two main functions. First, it increases the distance water can travel. Second, it slows down water leakage. Galvanized steel plates bond well with concrete. This strength allows steel-side waterstops to handle strong tensile and twisting forces. Waterstops won’t lose or fall during expected concrete joint deformation. This helps enhance waterproofing performance. Galvanized steel plates have mounting holes linked to steel reinforcing bars. This design secures steel-side waterstops tightly to concrete joints.

Many places use steel-side waterstops, such as:

• Dams

• Bridges

• Tunnels

• Culverts

• Basements

• Retaining walls

• Foundations

• Water reservoirs

• Swimming pools

• Storage tanks

• Wastewater treatment plants
