Unicorn PVC Waterstop – Reliable Concrete Joint Waterstop

Unicorn PVC Waterstop is a high-quality PVC waterstop strip designed for sealing construction and expansion joints in concrete structures. Manufactured from flexible, durable PVC material, this waterstop provides reliable waterproofing for concrete joints that are subject to hydrostatic pressure and movement. The unique profile creates a mechanical barrier that interlocks with the surrounding concrete, effectively preventing water passage through the joint. Its flexibility accommodates thermal movement, settlement, and structural expansion while maintaining a permanent watertight seal. Easy to install using standard concrete practices, Unicorn PVC Waterstop is compatible with most concrete mixes and is suitable for a wide range of water-retaining and water-excluding structures.
