Injection Tube, Injection Hose Systems

SealBoss ® InjectTube Type 1 & 2
Re-Injectable Injection Tube System

SealBoss ® Inject Tube System is a specially designed solid core PVC Injection Tube - Injection Hose System. The Injection Tube is installed in concrete joints pior to the pouring of new concrete to waterproof and seal any cracks or voids in the construction joint area. The SealBoss InjecTube System seals joints watertight. Easy to install and reasonably priced – SealBoss Inject Tube System simplifies the job and provides for watertight joints.

The SealBoss® Injection Tube System is designed for use in concrete structures which contain joints where a hydrostatic load on the face of the structure is expected. After injection it reliably prevents water seepage through concrete joints in structures such as parking garages, stadiums, subways, tunnels, swimming pools, water reservoirs, locks, canals, dams, sewage treatment plants, water tanks and others.

Introduction

The SealBoss® Injection Tube System is an efficient and easy to install system to create water tight cold joints.

SealBoss ® InjectTube Type 2 offers a double woven membrane to best protect the inner tube space from water and debris infiltration prior to injection. A clean inner tube assures best product flow and injection results.

A well-known characteristic of concrete is shrinkage while curing. Stress caused during this time and temperature changes provoke the development of small cracks and fissures. Several design and reinforcement techniques help to control this effect, but cannot control them completely. Fine cracks of sometimes less than 0.1 mm are inevitable. These cracks are considered normal and generally do not cause any problems. However, at cold joints, the tendency to form larger cracks cannot be reduced. Since old and new concrete do not bond together homogeneously and do not form a monolithic concrete body, stress cracks concentrate mainly in these areas. They easily conduct water and may cause severe damage.

The SealBoss® Injection Tube System for sealing cold joints utilizes the natural tendency of concrete to form cracks. A special tube system is installed at the joint where leaks are most likely to occur. The system allows resin injection directly into the joint through a protected porous tube after completion of the structure. The resin penetrates through the perforation of the tube and fills the cracks and voids of the cold joint area thereby sealing the structure. To be effective, the system must have certain properties. The tube must be sturdy enough to withstand the high pressure of placed concrete and it must resist concrete slurry penetration. On the other hand the injection resin must be able to penetrate the hose at a moderate injection pressure. The installation and injection process must be suitable for construction sites. The SealBoss® Inject Tube System is designed to meet these requirements.

Before pouring the new concrete the tube shall be attached to the existing surface as tight as possible and usually towards the middle of the future cold joint using suitable clips or by attaching it to the existing rebars. It is crucial that the hose is tightly fixed in the center of the joint area so that it can neither move nor lift during the concrete placement. Six to twelve inches between clips are typically recommended. The hose must be placed in a manner that it will not touch the outside surface of the structure at any point. To allow sufficient injection pressures, the maximum length of injection tube should not exceed 30 feet.

SealBoss ® SwellCaulk
Swellable Caulk - Construction Joint Mastic

SealBoss ® SwellCaulk is a single component, hydrophilic, water activated, hydro active, expandable, gungrade waterstop. The product is formulated for sealing construction joints, pipe penetrations and other concrete joints of smooth and uneven surfaces. Material cures and swells in the presence of moisture or water thereby creating a compression seal. Curing time decreases with higher temperatures and greater relative humidity. SealBoss ® SwellCaulk will cure in approximately 24 to 36 hours depending on ambient climate. The prodcuct is supplied in sausages or in cartridges. The product is for professional use.

The SealBoss ® SwellCaulk Waterproofing Principle

When in contact with water, SealBoss ® SwellCaulk Sealants develop an expansive swelling pressure. The pressure between the expanding SwellCaulk and the surrounding concrete structure prevents the penetration of water through the joint and provides a durable waterproofing solution.

SealBoss ® SwellTape
Swellable Construction Joint Seal Strips, Swell Rubber

SealBoss ® SwellTape is a hydrophilic, water activated, hydro active, expandable, waterstop tape / strip system. The rubber-like product is formulated to swell in construction joints, pipe penetrations and other concrete joints when in contact with water thereby creating a compression seal. The product is for professional use.

The SealBoss ® SwellTape Waterproofing Principle

When in contact with water, SealBoss ® SwellTape Sealants develop an expansive swelling pressure. The pressure between the expanding SwellTape and the surrounding concrete structure prevents the penetration of water through the joint and provides a durable waterproofing solution.
