The DC hydrophilic waterstop is a material made with PVC and a hydrophilic thermoplastic that provides a controlled expansion to the waterstop up to 400% when in contact with water. The DC waterstop produces enough swelling pressure to withstand high hydrostatic pressure, even when exposed to salt water. Tests performed under the supervision of UL CLEB demonstrate that the waterstop resists to pressure equivalent to 200 feet of water pressure. (US Patent 11035117 and other patents pending)
