Description:

Swellseal 3V is a hydrophilic waterproofing strip made from a combination of an elastomer and a hydrophilic resin. When confined, it will swell in contact with water and build up a waterproofing pressure inside the joint to seal the joint against water leaks. Swellseal 3V has a swelling capacity of up to 3V (200% of the original volume) in contact with water. The composition of the compound creates a delayed initial swelling and makes Swellseal 3V safe to install in insitu concrete applications.

Uses:

• Sealing joints between tunnel segments.
• Swellseal 3V can be used for sealing joints between concrete precast elements, horizontal and vertical construction joints, sealing pipe penetrations, sealing concrete to steel joints, etc.
• For sealing construction joints in fresh concrete where concrete cover is at least 10cm to all sides.

Advantages:

• Swellseal 3V can be used in contact with fresh and sea/brackish water.
• Swellseal 3V swells minimum 3V in contact with fresh water and minimum 2V in contact with sea/brackish water.
• Swellseal 3V has a proven track record in concrete structures subject to medium to high water pressure.
• The composition of the compound creates a delayed initial swelling and makes Swellseal 3V safe to install in insitu concrete applications.
• The composition of the compound creates a delayed initial swelling and makes Swellseal 3V safe to install in insitu concrete applications.
• Swelling capacity up to 3 times the original volume in contact with water.
• Will not sag when correctly placed.
• Easy to install by nailing or gluing with Swellseal Adhesives or MS Fixer.
• Due to its flexibility and high swelling capacity, Swellseal 3V can absorb small movements in the construction.
• Has a good all-round chemical resistance and can resist petroleum, mineral and vegetable oils and greases.
• Swellseal 3V has a good impact resistance.
