Use

• Designed for construction joints in new watertight concrete structures.
• Excellent for sealing pipe penetrations through walls and floor slabs.
• May be applied to horizontal, vertical and overhead surfaces.
• Material used to seal interlocking joints in sheet pile installations.
• Excellent for sealing joints between precast elements.
• Ideal for watertight construction joints between new and existing concrete.

Characteristics and Advantages

• Swells up to 100% in potable water, slightly less in salt water and wastewater.
• Permanently water resistant, with no leaching and does not dissolve in water.
• Capable of sealing construction joints with head pressures of up to 345 KPa (50 psi) or 35 m Hydrostatic head (115 ft hyd. head).
• Elastic - withstands wet/dry cycling.
• Easy, simple application.
• Adaptable in the field to suit job requirements.
• No nails, glue, or hooks required.
• Controlled expansion eliminates cracking in fresh concrete.
• Offers resistance to various chemicals.
• Thixotropic properties allow SikaSwell S-2 to seal irregular joint surfaces.
• Very economical.
• Saves labour by eliminating inverted keyways, split forming, heat splicing, special fittings and tieing to rebar associated with conventional PVC waterstops.
• No mixing required.
• Allows more thorough vibration of concrete at joint, resulting in better concrete consolidation which aids in achieving a watertight joint.
