A swellable water bar is a conventional pre-formed water bar that is not very user-friendly because of its bulky size. Keeping this problem in mind, Deesawala Rubber Industries has introduced effective and user-friendly hydro swellable water bars for construction joints. They swell in the centre of the construction joint and come in contact with the water leakages which helps in blocking the leakage more easily.Hydroswell is a neoprene-based hydrofillic construction joint water bar that expands to 250% of its original volume in the construction joint after coming in contact. The swellable bar provided by Deesawala Rubber Industries is a user-friendly product and only needs nailing at the centre of the construction joint just before the water is poured.
Swellable Water Bar Installation
There is a process of installing the swellable water bar, which is
For installing the swellable water bar, it is necessary to check whether the concrete is dry and the surface is clean to make it free from any loose material.
A nail is installed in the water swellable bar at the centre of the construction joint at an interval of 30 centimeters C/C before the concrete is poured for performing construction activities.
Then one piece of the Hydroswell has to be joined at the end of the length to not over-lap the hydroswell. You can find it laid at the end of the butt joint.
Hydroswell is then supplied with a water retardant coating to guard against the premature expansion or the swell of the product during construction. However, it is recommended to not use it during rainy weather.
Benefits Swellable Water Bar
Deesawala Rubber Industries is one of the leading swellable water bar manufacturers that offers this very beneficial product. Below are the benefits of using a swellable water bar
It is a user-friendly product that only needs nailing at the center.
It is highly flexible and can absorb all deflection and movements in the structure during and post-construction.
It has properties that make it highly resistant to hydrocarbons and chemicals.
It is an efficient product against hard water, saline water, and potable water.
It can be installed safely using nails.
Swellable Water Bar Specifications
The size of the swellable water bar is 25 x 20 mm.
It has free expansion in distilled water. It is at least six times the initial volume without loss of cohesion of mass density: 1.4 gms/CC.
The hardness of the water bar is 50 HAD which allows it to swell up to 300%.
It is an efficient product against hard water, saline water, and potable water.
The pressure of swelling is less than 100 KPA after 6 hours.
It is suitable to be used in salt solutions, and aggressive resistance to inhibition of calcium and magnesium ions.
Resistance to hydrostatic pressure, continuous immersion, and wet/dry cycling.
Applications of Swellable Water Bar
The swellable water bar is used for concrete joints, and old and new concrete construction of foundations, manholes, garages, curtain walls, water purification facilities, pipe penetrations, tunnels, and water deposits.

Surface Preparation
The surface must be clean and dry. It must not be applied to wet, frozen, greasy or dusty surfaces, and under wet weather conditions.
Firmly press the entire length of it onto concrete. In vertical and overhead applications, press for at least 15 seconds for perfect adherence.
Make sure water stop covers all parts of the surface, especially for surfaces which are not perfect in shape.
Use swell-fix primer when necessary.
Put together coil ends side by side or end to end; do not overlap. Remove silicon paper and pour concrete carefully and indirectly.

People also ask
What is a swellable bar?
A swellable bar, also known as a waterstop or water barring material, is a specialized construction element used to prevent water leakage through joints or gaps in concrete structures.
What size is a swellable bar?
The thickness typically ranges from 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) to 25 millimeters (1 inch) [1, 2]. It's chosen based on the specific gap or joint width that needs sealing.
How to fix a swellable water bar?
Simple Installation: The bars are positioned at the center of the construction joint before concrete pouring. No complex procedures are required. Automatic Activation: Upon exposure to water, the swellable water bar expands within the joint, creating a watertight seal.
