ST500 is a black hydrophilic synthetic waterproofing strip that is designed to fasten to existing joints. 

Overview

SST500 is ecologically friendly and is chemically resistant to petroleum, mineral/vegetable oils and even grease. Not only that, it is also resistant to impact (such as a blow from falling rebar during construction, etc). This product is relatively easy to install as no special tools are required. SST500 continues to function through both wet and dry weather cycles. It is also able to swell to more than 500% upon contact with water, guaranteeing a good seal. Its flexibility enables it to adapt to any movements in the structure over time. 

Application

SST500 can be applied in many applications such as cold joints, pipe penetrations through concrete, construction joints and more. Examples include joints in manholes, prefabricated pipes, floor slabs and secant pile walls. Last but not least, SST500 can be used to seal vertical and horizontal construction joints.
