JOINT COVERS, PROFILES FOR JOINTS AND ACCESSORIES ADEKA KM PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Hydro-expansive seal with high resistance to hydraulic load that creates an excellent seal of expansion and contraction joints, including deteriorated, in any reinforced concrete structure. Available is various formats, it is also recommended for setting up seals for concrete or metal piping. Thanks to its great flexibility, it can also be applied to particularly articulated or irregular structures. PRODUCT APPLICATION • To seal expansion and contraction joints in every kind of reinforced-concrete structure (rooms, underground, channels, tanks, pools, etc) • To set-up seals between reinforced concrete or metal prefabricated elements for hydraulic works • To seal deteriorated expansion and contraction joints • To set-up seals for reinforced concrete, metal or plastic piping • Perfect hydraulic water-tightness • High resistance to hydraulic load • Easy and quick application • Great flexibility of use • Also usable in the presence of salt water • Non-toxicity and respect for the environment Clean the surface from any dust, form oil and any loose parts. Proceed in small sections by applying a thin layer of ULTRABOND adhesive with a small brush on one of the wider sides of the profile and on the application surface, which must be dry. After 2÷8 minutes press the parts in place. If the application surfaces are irregular or wet, use AKTI-VO 201 hydro-expansive mastic to level and bond the profiles. The ADEKA KM profiles must be applied with a minimum coating of 10 cm of reinforced concrete. The profiles must be done joined and sealed by placing the ends side by side at 10 cm and interposing AKTI-VO 201 hydro-expansive mastic. How it works When in contact with water, the ADEKA KM profiles can be hydrated until the hydrophilic polymer is saturated, thereby doubling the initial volume. This guarantees a perfect watertight seal at the structural expansion joints that are subjected to hydrostatic load.

JOINT COVERS, PROFILES FOR JOINTS AND ACCESSORIES ADEKA KM If the water presence is not constant, the ADEKA KM profiles firmly maintain the expanded size. The profiles slowly lose the previously absorbed water molecules if placed in an environment without humidity, thereby returning to their original size. When the product comes into contact with water once again, the expansion phenomenon is repeated with the same characteristics. Thanks to the chemical stability of the product, this phenomenon can be repeated without losing its expansion and pressure characteristics. Selection guide In...
