KingSwell 2010^®

KingSwell 2010 is made of bentonite free high performance polymer modified chloroprene rubber strips. The swelling action is the result between water (fresh or saline) and hydrophilic groups which are part of the KingSwell 2010 molecular structure. Expansion of the waterstop creates a positive seal against the face of the concrete joint and prevents the water entry into the structure through the protected joint.

• Hydrophilic waterstop can be applied against existing concrete and are simply installed by nailing or using a hydrophilic adhesive. In contact with water, hydrophilic strips react and swell by up to 350% of their original dimensions to form a compression seal

• Active protection- KingSwell 2010 hydrophilic waterstop swells in contact with both fresh water and saline (sea) water to form an affective compression joint
• Slow expansion rate to prevent damage to freshly placed concrete during curing
• Retains original shape after repeated and contraction
• STANDARDS KingSwell 2010 complies with KS M 6518
• METHOD OF INSTALLATION KingSwell 2010 can be installed either by suitable adhesive using KingSwell Seal or mechanically by nails when using KingSwell Seal adhesive, extrude enough materials on a sound clean substrates and immediately fix firmly KingSwell 2010 into KingSwell Seal adhesive. Also KingSwell 2010 can be fastened in place using masonry nails at approximately 300 mm centers
• Care should be taken however to ensure that the substrate has sufficient strength to enable a mechanical fixing to be securely driven without damaging the KingSwell Seal DP- 2010H. Alternatively, a groove can be cast into concrete to facilitate application
• KingSwell 2010 is suitable for use in most weather conditions, but heavy rain or prolonged immersion will cause premature swelling. Should this occur, it will be necessary to allow it to dry out, or be dried with a hot air gun before concrete pouring takes place
• KingSwell 2010 should not be used in expansion joints, or any concrete section of less than 150 mm width
• fresh and sea water
