Ultra-Tite Gunnable Hydrophilic Waterstop

Ultra-Tite is a single component water-swelling sealant with excellent and unique properties. Ultra-Tite may be applied in locations where conventional solid sealants cannot be easily applied. This includes irregular shaped joints, rough surfaces, odd penetrations, etc. After curing, it has excellent physical properties. The rubber-like elasticity of the material and expansion characteristics create an effective watertight seal.

Ultra-Tite is designed for use as a standalone waterstop in Cast-In-Place joints, Precast joints, and for use as a hydrophilic waterstop adhesive for waterstops such as Dura-Tite. With a hydrostatic pressure resistance of 60 psi, Ultra-Tite can be used in construction applications

Applications

• Tunnels
• Vent Shafts
• Dams
• Manholes
• Box Culverts
• Containment Structures
• Concrete Slabs
• Foundation Joints
• Wall or Floor Penetrations
• Water & Wastewater Structures

Installation

Keep Ultra-Tite at room temperature (Approx. 70°F) before applying to ensure easy application. A clean, dry, and uncontaminated surface is mandatory. Ultra-Tite may be factory or field applied to seal various construction components. Work Ultra-Tite into rough surfaces to optimize surface contact. If filling cracks, avoid air entrapment by filling void with a continuous bead.

Tooling techniques using solvents or soapy solutions are not recommended.

Curing

Curing:
Under normal conditions a tack free skin is formed in 60 minutes. Full cure takes place in 24 to 48 hours. Over 100% hydrophilic expansion in the first 48 hours and 250% hydrophilic expansion in 30 days.
