Metal hydroshlet VB

Metal hydroshlet VB

The VB metal waterstop is a modern solution for reliable waterproofing of construction joints in concrete structures. Thanks to the combination of a physical barrier and an active chemical coating, it provides effective protection against water penetration even under high pressure.

What is a VB metal hydro-key?

The VB metal waterstop is a high-quality galvanized steel strip 20 meters long and 160 mm wide, which provides reliable waterproofing of structural and construction joints in concrete. A feature of this waterstop is a special polymer coating , which, when in contact with fresh concrete, forms a tight connection , creating a hermetic barrier for water..

Advantages of using a hydraulic wedge

Double protection: The physical barrier in the form of a steel plate and the chemical reaction of the active coating ensure maximum tightness.

Self-healing: The formation of calcium hydroxide crystals allows new microcracks that appear over time to be filled.

Resistance to aggressive environments: The hydro-key retains its properties even when exposed to chemicals.

Ease of installation: Easy to install without special equipment.

Cost-effectiveness: Reduces costs for structural repair and maintenance.

Environmentally friendly: Safe for the environment.

Areas of application

The waterstop is ideal for:

Underground structures: foundations, basements, parking lots, tunnels.

Hydraulic structures: reservoirs, treatment plants, dams.

Industrial facilities: chemical plants, power plants.

Transport infrastructure: bridges, overpasses

Installation of a hydraulic wedge

The VB hydraulic wedge is installed by securing it to the reinforcement frame using special clips included in the kit. This ensures reliable fixation of the wedge during concrete pouring and prevents its displacement.
