VX HydroMaster

VX HydroMaster is a hydrophilic waterstop that expands upon contact with water to create a pressure-tight seal in concrete construction joints, both horizontal and vertical. It comes in various profiles like VX HydroMaster RP0HSS-0220, RP3HSS- 0725, RP2HSS-1020, and is made from a combination of expanding hydrophilic material and nonexpanding chloroprene rubber. The co-extruded design directs expansion across the joint for optimal sealing.

VX HydroMaster changes from dark blue to light blue when expanded, allowing for easy visual inspection. It includes a delay coating to prevent premature expansion, and most profiles feature a self-adhesive backing for quicker, easier installation. VX HydroMaster can shrink back when dry and reexpand with moisture, maintaining functionality through repeated wet-dry cycles.

ADVANTAGES

Self-adhesive simplifies installation and helps lower construction costs.
Co-extruded design ensures expansion is directed across joint, maximizing sealing performance.
Delay coating prevents material from expanding too early.
Resistant to repeated wet-dry cycles without compromising performance.
Delay coating prevents the material from expanding too early.
Resistant to repeated wet-dry cycles without compromising performance.
No on-site welding required, unlike traditional PVC waterstops.
No need for special fittings or intersections, simple butt joints are sufficient.
Can be applied on rough surfaces using a gungrade waterstop like VX LiquidMaster.
Compatible with traditional PVC waterstops, allowing for flexible integration.
No issues with compaction or displacement during installation.
