Metal water bar system for sealing joints in concrete that are designed as part of water-impermeable concrete structures.

Typical Applications:

• Underground structures.
• Traditional concrete and twin wall basement walls.

Pentaflex KB® metal water bars are fully coated on both sides with a special coating to provide reliable waterproofing at concrete joints. The bond between the special coating and new concrete prevents water infiltrating the joint. With an embedment depth of only 30mm the PENTAFLEX KB® metal water bar system is able to withstand water pressures of up to 5.0 bar. The high elasticity of the coating ensures reliable sealing when the concrete structural components shrink.

Pentaflex KB® units are typically supplied in 2 m lengths with a choice of 167 mm or 80 mm widths. The bonding surfaces are protected with a film on both sides that is only removed immediately before concreting. Placement is simple with units simply lapped along the concrete length and without the need to plan day joints for concrete pours.

Features and benefits:

• UKTA and ETA assessments
• Watertight to 5.0 bar (2.0 bar in accordance with ETA approval).
• Quick, reliable sealing of all construction joints.
• Resistant to all organic effluent.
• No special tools or adhesive materials required.
