Why Use Idrostop?

Why Use Idrostop?

1. Prevents Water Leakage at Construction Joints
Concrete structures often have cold joints or construction joints — these are weak points where water can seep through. Idrostop acts as a water barrier at these joints, preventing leaks in below-grade or water-retaining structures.

2. Swells Upon Contact with Water
Idrostop is made from sodium bentonite, which expands when in contact with moisture. This swelling seals any gaps or cracks, creating a watertight barrier that adapts over time.

3. Easy and Quick to Install
No complex tools or welding required. It’s simply applied to the joint surface using adhesive or mechanical fasteners before pouring the next layer of concrete.

4. Long-Lasting and Reliable
Idrostop continues to work over time, expanding and contracting with moisture cycles. This makes it suitable for long-term waterproofing of underground or water-exposed structures.

5. Ideal for Critical Waterproofing Zones
Widely used in:
-Basements
-Water tanks
-Sewage plants
-Retaining walls
-Tunnels & lift pits
