PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Waterstop-RX is a flexible strip concrete construction joint waterstop
that provides a permanent seal by expanding upon contact with water.
Figure 1.1 - Swelling property of Waterstop-RX
Waterstop-RX is an active sodium bentonite based waterstop that is
designed to replace conventional passive PVC dumbbell waterstops,
thus eliminating the requirement of split-forming and product seam
welding.

Waterstop-RX is manufactured in light weight, flexible coils that can


be installed in both hot and cold weather. The product is adhered to
concrete, steel, and PVC (pipes) with CETSEAL; at or exceeding the re-
quired minimum distance from the exterior concrete
surface.
RX-101
The key to Waterstop-RX is sodium bentonite. Sodium bentonite Poly scrim
swells when in contact with water, forming an impermeable barrier. This reinforcement
swelling property allows Waterstop-RX to form a permanent pressure
seal within the concrete joint, thus eliminating water migration over or
along the waterstop (see Figure 1.1). In addition to forming a positive
pressure seal, the product’s expansion properties allow it to seal small
cracks and void areas. Waterstop-RX has been successfully tested by RX-102
independent testing firms to over 60 meters (200 feet) of hydrostatic RX-101T
water pressure, under both continuous emersion and wet/dry cycling.

Waterstop-RX is extruded in three sizes and shapes (see Figure 1.2). Figure 1.2 - Three sizes and shapes of Waterstop-RX
Waterstop-RX 101 is extruded in a rectangular shape measuring 25
mm x 19 mm x 5.03 m (1”x3/4”x16’8”). Waterstop-RX 101T is ex-
truded in a trapezoidal shape measuring 31 mm x 12 mm x 6 m (1-1/4”
x 1/2” x 20’) with a reinforcing plastic scrim embedded in the top sur-
face for high tensile strength. The patented trapezoidal shape distrib-
