WATERSTOP-RX is a hydrophilic strip waterstop designed to stop water infiltration through cast-in-place concrete construction joints by expanding upon contact with water to form a positive seal against the concrete. The key to WATERSTOP-RX’s effectiveness is its superior expansion to seal and fill voids and cracks in the concrete.

Product Description
WATERSTOP-RX is a hydrophilic strip waterstop designed to stop water infiltration through cast-in-place concrete construction joints by expanding upon contact with water to form a positive seal against the concrete. The key to WATERSTOP-RX’s effectiveness is its superior expansion to seal and fill voids and cracks in the concrete. WATERSTOP-RX is an active bentonite/butyl-rubber based waterstop that is designed to replace passive PVC/Rubber dumbbell waterstops, thereby eliminating the requirement of special pieces, split-forming and seam welding. WATERSTOP-RX has been successfully tested by independent testing firms to over 60 meters (200 feet) of hydrostatic water pressure, under both continuous immersion and wet/ dry cycling.
WATERSTOP-RX is available in three sizes and shapes (see Product Table).
WATERSTOP-RX 101 is produced in a rect- angular shape measuring 25 x 20 mm (1” x 3/4”).
WATERSTOP-RX 101T is produced in a trapezoidal shape measuring 31 x 12 mm (1-1/4” x 1/2”) with a reinforcing plastic scrim embedded in the top surface for high tensile strength. The patented trapezoidal shape distributes the expansive force over a greater area and allows the concrete to flow more readily over the product during placement.
WATERSTOP-RX 102 is produced in a half-circle (Crescent) shape measuring 19 x 9 mm (3/4” x 3/8”).
