Costar Swellable Waterstop
Costar Swellable Waterstop is a hydrophilic swelling waterstop which exhibits excellent durability and water sealing capacity. It expands as it absorbs water and fills concrete joint gaps conforming to the gap variation, ensuring excellent sealing. It is suitable for use in Vertical and horizontal cast-in-place concrete joints where limited movement is expected. Costar swellable waterbar is ideal for new concrete structures or between new and existing concrete. It has a rectangular profile and is available in several sizes.
