PVC Waterstop
AQUASHIELD PVC 350 Waterstop is a product designed for use in concrete construction containing joints, one side of which is subject to hydrostatic pressure. AQUASHIELD 350 PVC Waterstop is used as a barrier within the joint to prevent the passage of liquid through or across the joint. It is embedded in the concrete on both sides of the joint, and spans the joint. It is designed to accommodate lateral and transverse movement which can cause a joint to open, close or misalign. Embedded in concrete, across and or along the joint, water stops form a watertight diaphragm that prevents the passage of fluid through the joint. AQUASHIELD 350 waterstops meet or exceed the standards of the most stringent specifications, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers CRD-C572-74.
