Polyethylene (PE)
PE waterstops have been pupose-developed for structural sealing tasks.
The waterstops have no connection strips, can be used for sealing joints in concrete irrespective of the plastic sealing sheeting.
PE waterstops made of modified PE offer the advantage of good weldability, resistance to aggressive chemical media, high durability and resistance to microbes.
The permanent elasticity and expansion characteristics are unaffected by low temperatures.
PE waterstops are designed to DIN18541 specifications relating to PVC.
