Cetco Waterstop RX-101

WATERSTOP-RX is a hydrophilic strip waterstop designed to stop water infiltration through cast-in-place concrete construction joints by expanding upon contact with water to form a positive seal against the concrete. The key to WATERSTOP-RX’s effectiveness is its superior expansion to seal and fill voids and cracks in the concrete.

WATERSTOP-RX is an active bentonite/butyl-rubber based waterstop that is designed to replace passive PVC/Rubber dumbbell waterstops, thereby eliminating the requirement of special pieces, split-forming and seam welding. WATERSTOP-RX has been successfully tested by independent testing firms to over 60 meters (200 feet) of hydrostatic water pressure, under both continuous immersion and wet/ dry cycling.

APPLICATIONS

Applications include both vertical and horizontal non-moving concrete construction joints, new to existing concrete construction, irregular surfaces, and around through-wall penetrations, such as plumbing and utility pipes. Additionally WATERSTOP-RX can seal around concrete pilings and steel H-piles passing through the slab. WATERSTOP-RX works in both continuous hydrostatic and intermittent hydrostatic conditions.

WATERSTOP-RX products are designed for reinforced structural concrete with a minimum of 20N/mm2 (3,000 psi) compressive strength. RX-101 and RX-101T are designed for concrete 200 mm (8”) thick or greater with two rows of reinforcing steel. RX-102 is designed for vertical concrete 150 mm (6”) thick or greater; and horizontal concrete no less than 100 mm (4”) thick. RX-102 should be used in concrete with one row of steel reinforcement, concrete curbs, planter walls, fountains, and lightweight structural concrete.

WATERSTOP-RX is a reliable, cost-effective means to stop water infiltration through concrete cold joints. It can also be used around pipe and structural penetrations
