Waterstops are divided into rubber waterstops, plastic waterstops, etc. according to their materials. Rubber waterstop is a product that utilizes the high elasticity and compressive deformability of rubber to produce elastic deformation under various loads, thereby playing a fastening and sealing role, effectively preventing water leakage and seepage of building components, and providing shock absorption and buffering effects to ensure the service life of engineering buildings.
Waterstops are mainly used in infrastructure projects, underground facilities, tunnels, sewage treatment plants, water conservancy, subway and other projects. Used for pouring concrete for expansion joints in gates, dam bottoms, construction projects, underground buildings, etc.
Waterstops should not be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time to prevent rain, and should not come into contact with highly polluting chemicals; Prevent mechanical and steel damage to the waterstop during transportation and construction; During the construction process, the waterstop must be reliably fixed to avoid displacement during concrete pouring and ensure the correct position of the waterstop in the concrete.
