SikaSwell S-2
Description
SikaSwell S-2 is a specially formulated, high-performance,
swellable, one-component, polyurethane-based waterstop
for use in all kinds of construction joints. Swelling rubber
creates a compression seal within joint, blocking the
passage of water.
Where to Use
- Designed for construction joints in new watertight concrete structures.
- Excellent for sealing pipe penetrations through walls and
floor slabs. - Excellent for sealing joints between precast elements.
- May be applied to horizontal, vertical and overhead surfaces.
- Ideal for watertight construction joints between new and
existing concrete.
Advantages
- Swells up to 100% in potable water, slightly less in salt
water and wastewater. - Permanently water resistant, with no leaching and does not dissolve in water.
- Capable of sealing construction joints with head pressures of up to 50 psi (115 ft. head).
- Elastic-withstands wet/dry cycling.
- Easy, simple application.
- Adaptable in the field to suit job requirements.
- No nails, glue, or hooks required.
- Controlled expansion eliminates cracking in fresh concrete.
- Offers resistance to various chemicals.
- Thixotropic properties allow SikaSwell S-2 to seal irregular joint surfaces.
- Very economical.
- Saves labor by eliminating inverted keyways, split forming, heat splicing, special fittings
and tieing to rebar associated with conventional PVC waterstops. - No mixing required.
- Allows more thorough vibration of concrete at joint, resulting in better concrete consolidation which aids in achieving a watertight joint.
