• Excellent sealing capabilities and available in many different sizes, shapes and profiles to suit the formwork form-tie system to be used. Custom profiles are available upon request.
• Provides a permanent, flexible gasket and compression seal inside the concrete.
• High-quality, non-biodegradable compounded hydrophilic rubber that provides long-term durability and integrity.
• Ability to expand up to 200% in contact with potable water and over 150% expansion in salt water.
• Has been tested to withstand over 50 metres of hydrostatic water head pressure. (Test report available upon request)
• For use in many different types of applications but is especially suited for water-retaining structures where direct water pressure is applied against the concrete and the form-tie system.
• Non-toxic and can be used in potable water structures.
• Unaffected by repeated wet and dry cycles.
• Fast and simple to install.
• Expansion is controlled via the built-in expansion delay system. The product does not pre-expand from the water in the freshly laid concrete of the wall, allowing the concrete to gain strength first.

Note: The product’s design and performance, its intended use, installation and final confirmation and approval for use, must be provided by the project’s Design Engineer and Project Manager.

• Due to the expansive forces of the hydrophilic rubber compound, CJ Form-Tie Rings need to be installed with a minimum concrete cover of 75mm from any outside edge.
• Increase concrete cover when using lightweight or low-strength concrete.
• Expansion rate can vary in potable water and saltwater environments.

1. FORM-TIE CONDUIT SPACER HOLE

2. FORM-TIE RODS

a. Thoroughly clean the outside surface of the form-tie rod, free of any dust, debris & foreign matter.

b. Place the CJ Form-Tie Ring over the outside face of the form-tie rod and slide it along to approximately the middle section.

c. A minimum concrete cover of 75mm from any outside edge of the concrete to the CJ Form-Tie Ring should be followed.

d. Check and make sure that the CJ Form-Tie Ring has a tight and secure fit around the sleeve or rod. If it is loose, then a smaller diameter ring should be used.

e. The CJ Form-Tie Ring is now ready for the concrete to be placed.

The above profile types are standard and custom profiles are available upon request to suit the form-tie system to be used. Selecting the profile type is dependent upon the type of form-tie system being used and if needed, please consult CJSA for further information.
