BENEFITS
XPERT SWELL BAR is a hydrophilic polymer-based water-stop with an ultra-thin profile, designed using the latest Hybrid Technology to address common problems found in Bentonite and PVC water-stops during fixing and concrete pouring. Its unique three-dimensional polymer structure is made of chemically resistant, unstructured polyurethane chains that resist microbial attack. This product swells due to hydrophilic polymer resin that expands up to 750-800% of its original volume upon contact with water and is capable of swelling and shrinking during repeated wet/dry cycles. It is environmentally friendly and safe for use in potable water tanks and other water-retaining structures.

STORAGE
Store the product in its original packaging in a cool, dry place with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 25°C, ensuring it is protected from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity. In tropical climates, it is advisable to keep the product in an air-conditioned environment to prevent deterioration. When stored under these recommended conditions and unopened, the product has a shelf life of 24 months; however, exposure to excessive heat and humidity can significantly reduce both its shelf life and performance.

APPLICATION
XPERT SWELL BAR is primarily used for sealing in civil and structural engineering projects, including tunnels subjected to water pressure. It is ideal for sealing construction joints, precast concrete segments, and restoration of expansion joints. Specific applications include: Sealing construction joints: The swell bar should be placed in the center of the reinforcement or at least 10 cm from the water-exposed side, secured firmly with primer or nails to avoid displacement during concreting. The surface must be smooth, free of cavities, cracks, or gravel pockets before installation. Sealing precast concrete segments: It is recommended to create a notch in the segments for the swell bar to ensure effective sealing with pre-stress applied during assembly. Suitable for potable water tanks, water retaining structures, construction joints, restoration joints, precast concrete sealing, shaft proofing, pipe penetrations, and tunnel tubing parts.
