Chemical Resistant Waterstop - Westec PE

Westec® Polyethylene Waterstop

Polyethylene (VLDPE) Waterstop for joint waterproofing of secondary containment structures.

  • Embedded in concrete, across and/or along the joint, waterstops form a watertight diaphragm that prevents the passage of liquid through the joint.
  • Suitable for contact with a wide range of chemicals - particularly effective for hydrocarbons such as Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene.
  • Certain profiles have received European Technical Approval for watersealing bands and approved for CE marking in the European Union, ETA-04/0044.

Usage

â– Ethanol/Biodiesel
â– Petrochemical Manufacturing
â– Refineries
â– Pulp and Paper Mills
â– Land, Air and Seaports
â– Pipeline
