WATERSTOP is the name of a wide range of special PVC profiles which, suitably inserted into concrete, act as a barrier to water infiltration both in correspondence with casting of construction joints and expansion joints.
The WS and WSB series (with central bulb) that should be embedded in the center line of the casting thickness and the WSE and WSBE series characterized by a flat side, used for laying flush with the outside, are particularly noteworthy.
