Litostop Water

Product catalog summary

Description: Litostop Water is a hydro-expansive thermoplastic tape designed for sealing connecting castings in concrete structures, suitable for both interior and exterior applications. It is particularly effective as a Waterstop between slabs and perimeter walls in concrete swimming pools.

Advantages/Features:

Excellent reversible expansion capacity upon contact with water.
Suitable for both occasional and permanent contact with chlorinated water.
Adapts to confined volumes and seals joints effectively.

Packaging: Available in 10 m (10.9 yd) rolls.

Fields of Application: Ideal for sealing critical areas such as connecting concrete castings between slabs and elevation walls, and as a Waterstop in swimming pools, baths, tanks, and general water works.

Application Procedure:

Ensure the concrete surface is clean and solid before application.
Fix the tape with steel nails every 15-20 cm (5.9-7.9 in).
Ensure overlaps between tapes are at least 5 cm (2.0 in).
The concrete casting protecting the tape must be at least 10 cm (4 in) thick.

Limitations:

Not suitable for use as an expansion or structural joint.
Cannot be applied on structures immersed in water at the time of application.
Avoid acid or solvent contamination at the interface between the tape and concrete.
Consult Litokol S.p.A Technical Help Service if in doubt.

Safety Information: Refer to the product safety data sheet available upon request.

Litostop Water HYDRO-EXPANSIVE THERMOPLASTIC TAPE FOR SEALING CONNECTING CASTINGS IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES FOR INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS. Hydro-expansive tape made from special modified thermoplastic elastomers for the waterproofing of connecting concrete castings. Particularly suited as a Waterstop between the slab and perimeter walls in the case of concrete swimming pools. ADVANTAGES / FEATURES Suitable for the sealing of critical areas such as connecting concrete castings between the slab and elevation walls. Suitable as a Waterstop in the development of swimming pools, baths, tanks, and water works in general. Before application, check that the surface of the concrete is completely clean and solid. Eliminate any dust or debris resulting from the casting operations. Lay Litostop Water and fix it with steel nails roughly every 15-20 cm (5.9-7.9in). Any overlapping between tapes should be at least 5 cm (2.0in). The thickness of the concrete casting, which protects the Litostop Water, must be at least 4" (10 cm). Excellent expansion capacity after contact with water Expansion capacity always reversible over time, unlike classic sodium bentonite joints Suitable for both occasional and permanent contact even with chlorinated water Adapts to the volume defined by the confinement and perfectly seals joints Installation of Litostop Water 1 – Concrete slab 2 – Litostop Water stopped with nails in steel 3 – Overlaying > 5 cm (2.0in) Waterproofing systems
