PVC Water Stops
Water stops are profiles based on specifically formulated plasticised PVC composition. Water stops are used in concrete masonry construction of hydraulic structures to safeguard from hydrostatic pressure and water seepage. Water stops also withstand expansion or contraction of joints and take care of any deflection or displacement arising due to change in temperature or settlement of foundation eliminating danger of cracks. These are engineered as Water tight seals in poured concrete structures.
The water stops are tested in the factory as per Indian standards, and the performance requirement of water stops will be in accordance to the Bureau of Indian Standard Specification IS: 15058/2002. Water stops will be manufactured in various designs, width & thickness as per hydrostatic pressure based on CWC design or as required by the customer.
