Waterstops
Flexible waterproofing for concrete joints
Waterstops represent a critical component of any waterproofing system. Due to shrinkage and settling, the surfaces of a concrete cold joint will never perfectly conform to one another. Without a flexible barrier that can accommodate the imperfections of concrete surfaces, water will have the opportunity to creep in through the seam.
Our waterstops are specifically designed to resist job-site conditions while outperforming other solutions. These waterstops offer innovative technology options to meet a wide variety of project needs. This includes tricky or problematic installations where technical finesse is required. No matter the project, we have a waterstop that’s ideal for the job.

SWELLSEAL® 3V is a hydrophilic waterproofing strip made from a combination of an elastomer and a hydrophilic resin.
- Swelling capacity up to 3 times the original volume in contact with water
- Will not sag when correctly placed
- Easy to install by nailing or gluing with SWELLSEAL Adhesives or MS Fixer
- Sealing joints between concrete precast elements, horizontal and vertical construction joints, sealing pipe penetrations, sealing concrete to steel joints
SWELLSEAL® 8V is a hydrophilic waterproofing strip made from a combination of an elastomer and a hydrophilic resin. It will swell in contact with water and build up a waterproofing pressure inside the joint to seal the joint against water leaks. SWELLSEAL® 8V has a swelling capacity of up to 8V (700% of the original volume) in contact with water.
- Swelling capacity up to 8 times the original volume in contact with water
- Will not sag when correctly placed
- Easy to install by nailing or gluing with SWELLSEAL Adhesives or MS Fixer
- Sealing joints between concrete precast elements, horizontal and vertical construction joints, sealing pipe penetrations, sealing concrete to steel joints
SWELLSEAL® Mastic is a one-component, polyurethane-based, solvent free, hydroswelling mastic, supplied in cartridges and aluminium sausages, for the sealing of construction joints and around pipe penetrations. SWELLSEAL® Mastic cures and swells in the presence of moisture.
- Solvent free
- FLEXible system
- Easy application with standard caulking gun
- Durable
- Sealing rough and smooth construction joints of in-situ cast concrete
- Sealing joints between pre-cast segments
- Sealing around steel H-beams
SWELLSEAL® Mastic WA is a one-component, grey, polyurethane-based, elastic, hydro-swelling mastic, supplied in cartridges and aluminium sausages, for the sealing of expansion joints and around pipe penetrations.
- FLEXible system
- Easy application with a standard caulking gun.
- Durable
- Sealing of joints of in-situ cast concrete in wet and underwater applications.
- Sealing joints between precast segments in wet or underwater applications
- Sealing of the locks between sheet piles

- Applications Type
RE-INJECTO LB is a blue, plastic injection hose with circular profile with an outside diameter of approx. 11mm and an inner transport duct of approx. 5mm. The injection tube has micro slits every 12 to 14mm to allow the injection material to exit the tube into the joint.
- Simple installation using the twinbox.
- Does not twist when unrolled from the coil.
- Allows injections of pure resin at lengths up to 10m.
- Sealing cold and construction joints, pipe penetrations, joints between diaphragm walls and slabs through post-injection with Omnitek Inject micro-fine cement or GELACRYL resin where consecutive re-injections are needed
Waterstop Solutions
Our solutions incorporate advanced materials that prevent water infiltration in ways that other waterstops can't. Novel engineering technologies result in waterstops that conform more securely to concrete surfaces, last longer and provide more flexibility to contractors. For more information about these and other waterstop solutions, contact GCP today.
ADCOR®
An advanced hydrophilic waterstop that's compatible with all of our industry-leading waterproofing membranes. ADCOR® is engineered to expand when it comes in contact with water. The material seals against concrete faces when encapsulated and resists water infiltration through a cold joint.
INJECTO® Tube Groutable Hose Waterstop System
An injectable waterstop system that provides a passageway for a variety of chemical grouts. The system is designed to be laid down before concrete is poured, but not injected until well after it has cured. This allows the cracks created by shrinkage during the curing process to fully open. The resulting interfaces and voids can then be permanently sealed.
TRIOject® Multiple Grout Injection Hose
Comprised of a three-channel PVC-hose, TRIOject® allows for multiple grout injections in a more durable enclosure. Each of the three grout channels contains micro holes that prevent water from getting in, but allow grout to escape. The system is protected by a steel mesh on top, as well as a foam pad on the bottom that conforms to the concrete surface. Crucially, the three-channel TRIOject® design lets builders inject the same cold joint multiple times—a best-in-class solution for a critical or problematic application.
