Hydrotite – 2mm x 20mm x 25m
$354.50
Hydrotite is a unique swellable hydrophilic waterstop with a range of features not found in other waterstops. Consisting of a unique combination of expanding hydrophilic material and a non expanding chloroprene rubber, co-extruded to form a single strip. This unique design means that the expansion is directed evenly across the joint creating an extremely effective positive seal.
Hydrotite also features a rain delay coating preventing pre-expansion if unexpected rain occurs during installation. Hydrotite will also change colour if expansion occurs alerting the contractor of a potential issue. This is very important as the pre-expansion of hydrotite prior to the pouring of concrete may compromise the effectiveness of the waterstop. Once hydrotite drys out, it will return to its natural size and colour.
2mm Hydrotite is typically used to seal around pipe penetrations and horizontal joints.
7 & 10mm Hydrotite is used in horizontal and vertical construction joints.

FAQs
What are the main benefits of using a hydrophilic waterstop?
Hydrophilic waterstops provide a self-sealing solution that expands upon water contact, effectively preventing leaks. They are ideal for use in high-risk areas such as underground structures, ensuring structural integrity and long-term waterproofing. Meanwhile, hydrophilic strips are especially useful for narrow joints and locations with complex geometries.
For more information on waterstops and related solutions, visit our waterstops page or explore concrete waterstops tailored to your project needs.
How do hydrophilic waterstops compare to traditional PVC waterstops?
While both solutions are effective for joint waterproofing, hydrophilic waterstops excel in self-sealing capabilities, expanding to create a reliable seal upon water exposure. Traditional PVC waterstops, on the other hand, provide a physical barrier at the joint, requiring precise installation for optimal performance. For areas prone to water ingress, hydrophilic options like hydrotite waterstops offer superior flexibility and adaptability.

What types of joints are hydrophilic waterstops ideal for?
Hydrophilic waterstops are commonly used in construction joints, control joints, and expansion joints, where water ingress needs to be controlled. Their flexibility and sealing ability make them ideal for challenging applications.For additional jointing solutions, visit our jointing systems page or check out Control Joints for further waterproofing options.
How long do hydrophilic waterstops last in waterproofing applications?
When properly installed, hydrophilic waterstops offer long-term durability, maintaining their sealing performance for years, even in challenging environments. Complementary solutions from our repairs, grouts and waterproofing range help extend their lifespan.
How does a hydrophilic waterstop handle multiple wet-dry cycles?
Hydrophilic waterstops are designed to endure repeated wet-dry cycles, maintaining their sealing integrity by expanding and contracting as needed. This makes them reliable for long-term applications in variable conditions.
