Soudal Singapore product

Aquaswell

A flexible polyurethane sealant that swells when exposed to water, for documented water- and gas-tight pipe, cable and concrete-joint details.

Product description

Where it fits

Use Aquaswell around suitable pipe and cable penetrations, construction joints and concrete details where a water-swelling polyurethane seal is part of the documented design.

Key properties

  • Water- and gas-tight to 5 bar under the DVGW VP601 test scope
  • Swells up to 450% of its original volume under constant water load
  • Remains elastic after curing and returns towards its original shape when water contact is removed

Designing the detail

Combine the pressure rating with the joint geometry, backing and substrate preparation described in the system guidance for a dependable installation.

Preparation and applicationFollow the product instructions step by step.

Use the guidance and documents for your chosen product. Contact us if the English TDS or SDS you need is not listed below.

  1. 01

    Confirm that a water-swelling seal suits the detail, including the substrate, the expected water pressure, the available joint or annular space and the confinement the design relies on.

  2. 02

    Prepare sound, clean surfaces and remove dust, grease, laitance and loose material so the product is enclosed by solid substrate.

  3. 03

    Apply a continuous bead or fill the specified section without voids or trapped air, keeping the distance from the substrate edge stated in the technical data sheet.

  4. 04

    Provide the backing, packing and closing detail the documented system requires; an unconfined swelling seal expands without sealing the detail.

  5. 05

    Keep the detail free from running water until the product has reached the state described in the technical data sheet.

For the best resultMatch the product to the materials and application.

These practical points help you achieve a reliable result.

  • A water-swelling seal depends on confinement. Unrestrained product expands without developing a seal.
  • Match the product to the expected water pressure, the annular or joint dimensions and the documented system build-up.
  • Where the detail dries and rewets repeatedly, confirm that the current documentation covers the intended exposure.
  • For the best result, follow the current technical and safety information for the selected product.
  • For unfamiliar materials, coatings or site conditions, test adhesion and compatibility on the prepared surface first.
