Supercast SWX

Supercast SWX is a grey, elastomeric water-swellable paste which is applied like a sealant. The hydrophilic properties of Supercast SWX display good consistency in swell rate during repeated wet/dry cycling. Expansion of the product on contact with water creates a positive pressure against the faces of the concrete joint, thus preventing the passage of water

Uses

Supercast SWX can be used as an adhesive for bonding Supercast SW strips or as a problem-solving hydrophilic waterstop in difficult access areas including:

 

• Sealing around joints in precast manhole covers, cable ducts and pipes, etc.
•  Sealing around precast segments n Sealing between rough surfaces, e.g. slurry walls and concrete slabs
•  Sealing around H-beams and other penetrations through concrete structures
• Sealing around conventional rubber and plastic waterstops to provide ‘belt and braces’ seal prior to concrete pour
