SUPERSWELL® 47B Hydrophilic Butyl Waterstop Seal

• Conforms easily for installation onto rough or smooth concrete
  surfaces.
• Excellent adhesion to concrete with CJ-100 Adhesive.
• Allows concrete to gain strength before expansion due to
  built-in expansion control system.
• For use in horizontal and vertical construction joints.
• Long term durability & integrity.
• Can be bedded into the wet concrete of the first pour for
  installation.
• No compaction or displacement problems.
• Unaffected by repeated wet and dry cycles.
• Has the ability to bond to both concrete surfaces.
  No on-site welding required.
• Can withstand 60 metres (6.0 Bar) of hydrostatic head pressure.
• Ability to handle long-term exposure to the environment prior
  to the 2nd pour taking place.

Note : Refer to above minimum concrete cover requirements. Please refer to CORKJOINT for further information.

Due to expansive forces, Superswell® 47B should be both detailed and installed with a minimum 50mm clear cover to the face of the concrete. Expansion rate can vary in salt and contaminated water. Increase cover when using light weight, low strength concrete. Not for use where excessive shrinkage of the concrete may occur at the joint faces. Do not stretch the Superswell® 47B during installation. Not for use in movement (expansion, isolation and contraction) joints.

HYDROSTATIC HEAD PRESSURE RESISTANCE – 60 METRE (6 BAR)

Superswell® 47B requires a minimum 50mm cover of concrete from the outside edge.

1. Brush off any dust or debris from the surface where the Superswell® 47B is to be applied. Brush a coat of CJ-100 Adhesive 30mm wide onto the concrete surface and one coat to the surface of the Superswell® 47B.
2. Once both surfaces where the adhesive was applied are touch dry, with the use of your thumbs or heel of your hand, firmly press a continuous bead of Superswell® 47B into position, making sure you achieve full contact with the adhesive on the concrete surface. Do not stretch the Superswell® 47B when applying it into position.
3. Use a neat, firm butt join to join Superswell® 47B together and then knead the ends together to form a continuous uninterrupted gasket. This type of join is used for continuous placement of  Superswell® 47B and for any intersection joins.
4. Check to see that the Superswell® 47B has totally adhered to the concrete surface. If the surface is rough or irregular, you may need to use a firmer hand pressure to make sure that the Superswell® 47B has full contact with the surface. There must be no visible gaps under the Superswell® 47B after installation.
5. The protective paper layer cover on the Superswell® 47B can be removed any time prior to the second pour of concrete taking place.
6. Placement of the second pour of concrete can be applied once the CJ-100 Adhesive has dried. Upon pouring, make sure the concrete is properly compacted and vibrated around the Superswell® 47B.
7. If the Superswell® 47B has been exposed to water (moisture) prior to the second pour taking place, check for pre-expansion. If the product has pre-expanded, then remove that section and replace with a new length of Superswell® 47B.
8. For vertical construction joints and overhead applications, it may be necessary to also secure the Superswell® 47B with nails, placed approximately every 250mm apart. This is usually only required as extra security if you need to pour your concrete prior to the CJ-100 Adhesive drying completely.

Waterstops where shown on the drawings shall be Superswell® 47B controlled expansion waterstop as supplied by CORKJOINT. The waterstop is to have a built-in expansion control system to minimise any pre-expansion prior to the second pour taking place and be able to withstand up to 60 metres (6.0 Bar) hydrostatic head pressure resistance. The waterstop is to be placed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation guidelines, and the Design Engineer’s specification.
