PENEBAR SW-55

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: PENEBAR™ SW-55 is a waterstop designed to prevent water penetration in cast-in-place concrete joints by expanding upon exposure to water, creating a seal within the concrete. It replaces traditional PVC waterstop systems, eliminating the need for welding irons and special shapes.
Special Considerations: Always use PENEBAR™ PRIMER for adhesion and stability during concrete pouring. For vertical surfaces, nails can be used alongside the primer. Ensure a minimum depth of 50 mm inside the concrete. It is not suitable for expansion joints or installation in standing water or on frozen surfaces.
Packaging: Type A: 30 meters/carton (6 rolls, 19 mm × 25 mm × 5 m each). Type B: 24 meters/carton (6 rolls, 9 mm × 25 mm × 4 m each).
Storage and Shelf Life: Store in a dry, enclosed area at a minimum of 7°C. The shelf life is unlimited if stored properly.
Safe Handling: Keep out of reach of children.
Recommended Applications: Suitable for non-moving concrete construction joints, both horizontal and vertical. Applicable to new or existing concrete, irregular surfaces, and penetrations like pipes and utility lines. Ideal for underground structures, basements, tunnels, and more.
Directions for Use: 1) Clean the area and apply PENEBAR™ PRIMER. 2) Press PENEBAR™ SW-55 into place with moderate pressure. 3) Splice ends at 45° angles for a continuous seal. 4) Remove protective covering. 5) Proceed with standard concrete procedures.
Physical Properties: Color: Black. Specific Gravity: 1.35 ± 0.05. Hydrocarbon Content: 47% min. Volatile Matter: 1% max. Penetration: 40 ± 5 mm. Application Temperature: -23°C to 52°C. Service Temperature: -34°C to 82°C.
Warranty: The product is warranted to be free from material defects and conform to formulation standards. Liability is limited to replacement of defective material. No warranty for merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose is provided.

PENEBAR SW-55-1

DESCRIPTION PENEBAR™ SW-55 is a waterstop developed to stop water penetration through cast-in-place concrete joints by expanding in a controlled fashion when exposed to water and making a positive seal inside and against the concrete. Its superior ability to expand and seal concrete joints allows it to replace the more passive tied in PVC waterstop systems and eliminate welding irons, split-forming and special shapes. PENEBAR™ SW-55 can be applied to non-moving, concrete construction joints for both horizontal and vertical applications. It can be used on new or existing concrete, irregular surfaces and through-wall or slab penetrations such as pipes, utility lines, piling and steel members. Other typical applications that are ideal for PENEBAR™ SW-55 are: underground structures, basements, precast panels, tunnels, new and existing concrete, manholes, lift pits, retaining walls, concrete pipe and storage tanks. DIRECTIONS FOR USE 1) Carefully brush off all dust and debris. Apply a coat of PENEBAR™ PRIMER (Ratio: 240 m (787 ft) PENEBAR™ SW-55 to 3.78 L (1 gal) PENEBAR™ PRIMER) to the area where PENEBAR™ SW-55 is to be placed. 2) By using the heel of the hand and moderate pressure, press a bead of PENEBAR™ SW-SS firmly into position on the standing structure. Make sure the product has bonded with the primed area. 3) Where required, splice ends to form a continuous, uninterrupted seal. For best results, cut each end at opposite 45° angles and tightly butt ends together. DO NOT OVERLAP ENDS. Gently knead the spliced ends creating an uninterrupted seal. 4) Peel the protective covering from the exposed side of the installed PENEBAR™ SW-55. 5) Follow standard concrete placing procedures from here onwards.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Always use PENEBAR™ PRIMER to ensure tight adhesion and to aid in preventing PENEBAR™ SW-55 from moving during the concrete pour. For vertical surfaces, nails may be used to hold the product in place in conjunction with PENEBAR™ PRIMER. PENEBAR™ SW-55 should be used at a minimum depth of 50 mm (2”) inside the concrete. When used on pipes and other structural penetrations, PENEBAR™ SW-55 should be cut to measured length and placed around the penetration with ends butted. In all cases, PENEBAR™ SW-55 should be in direct contact with the substrate along the entire length of...
