Product Description
The LEAKMASTER LV-Z Hydrophilic Gun Grade Waterstop is a one component polyurethane water-swelling (hydrophilic waterstop) sealant with excellent and unique physical properties. It is a hydrophilic (water-loving) gun-grade material that expands in the presence of water, creating a watertight seal in concrete joints and structures. It can be applied to places such as joints in concrete, in civil engineering construction and water services for seals where conventional seals cannot be applied easily. After hardening, it has excellent physical properties together with rubberlike elasticity and water sealing properties.
This product is designed to be easy to apply with a standard caulking gun, making it a convenient solution for construction professionals.
The LEAKMASTER LV-Z Hydrophilic Gun Grade Waterstop is made from high-quality synthetic rubber, which gives it excellent durability and resistance to degradation from exposure to UV light, chemicals, and other environmental factors.
Overall, the LEAKMASTER LV-Z Hydrophilic Gun Grade Waterstop is an effective solution for waterproofing concrete structures, providing a long-lasting and reliable seal against water infiltration.
Advantages
Main Advantages of the LEAKMASTER LV-Z Hydrophilic Gun Grade Waterstop.
Easy Application – As a moisture-cure one component type water-sealing. Standard caulking guns can be used as for conventional sealants.
Physical Properties – After hardening, it has better physical properties than those of conventional putty type sealants.
Water-Swelling – Swelling up to 2 times (approximately) by Volume as a result of its water absorption ability.
Cool Adherence – It adheres to various materials such as concrete, metals, glass, etc.
Areas of Application
Some arears of application for the LEAKMASTER LV-Z Hydrophilic Gun Grade Waterstop.
1. Water sealing of joints in cast-in-situ concrete
2. Water sealing around steel posts/columns, king posts, that are cast into concrete
3. Water sealing around pipes for pipe penetrations through concrete
4. Box culverts & manholes joints
6. Form tie holes and form ties
7. Rough concrete surfaces of joints
8. Hydrostatic head pressure resistance of up to 2 bar (20metres)
Note : The products design and performance, its intended use, installation and final confirmation and approval for use, must be provided by the project’s Design Engineer and Project Manager.
Application Procedures
For the LEAKMASTER LV-Z Hydrophilic Gun Grade Waterstop.
1. Surface must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, oil & water.
2. Stir adhesive thoroughly before use.
3. Apply the adhesive to both surfaces to be bonded with a dry, clean, brush or scraper to give a uniform coating.
4. Allow the solvents to evaporate until adhesive film is “tacky” or “touch dry”. It will take between 10 to 20 minutes depending upon the surface porosity and the weather conditions.
5. Position the coated surfaces accurately before assembling them, and upon installation, apply an even pressure to the installed material to consolidate the bond.
6. Bond strength can be fully obtained after 24 hours.
