DCP Hydrostop SK - PVC Waterstop for Construction Joints
Hydrostop SK is a high-quality waterstop extruded from an elastomeric polyvinyl chloride (PVC) rubber, precision-designed to prevent any possible leakage from construction joints in cast-in-place concrete elements. Its unique profile with multiple ribs provides a secure barrier against water penetration, making it an essential component for a wide range of water-retaining and below-ground structures.
Engineered for easy and effective installation, Hydrostop SK features brass eyelets spaced at 30cm intervals for rigid fixing to reinforcement, ensuring it remains in place during concreting. As a thermoplastic PVC, it can be easily welded on-site using a suitable heating knife to create a continuous, leak-free waterstop network. Prefabricated junction pieces for flat, vertical, T, and L connections are also available to simplify complex layouts. Hydrostop SK is resistant to a wide range of diluted chemicals, including hydrocarbons, and does not affect the quality of potable water.

For a reliable and durable solution to sealing construction joints in concrete, DCP Hydrostop SK is the professional choice. Its robust design and ease of installation ensure a watertight structure. **Safety Note:** Hot welding of PVC generates acidic hydrogen chloride fumes; jointing should always be done in a well-ventilated area.
Designed in precision to stop any possible leakage from construction joints in cast-in-place concrete elements.
