Note: The above test reports are available upon request.

Note: Refer to above minimum concrete cover requirements. Please refer to CJSA for further information.

Due to expansive forces, Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 should be both detailed and installed with a minimum 50mm clear cover to the face of the concrete. Expansion rate can vary in salt and contaminated water. Increase cover when using light weight, low strength concrete. Not for use where excessive shrinkage of the concrete may occur at the joint faces. Do not stretch the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 during installation. Not for use in movement (expansion, isolation and contraction) joints.

Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 – 20mm x 10mm x 10m rolls (8 rolls per carton)

Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 requires a minimum 50mm cover of concrete from the outside edge.

For a smooth concrete surface:

1. Make sure the surface of the concrete is clean and dry, and brush off any dust or debris from the area where the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 is to be applied. If there are any high or sharp points of concrete protruding, then remove these with the use of a hammer or similar tool. If there are any holes in the concrete surface bigger than 10mm in depth or diameter, then fill these with a small application of Leakmaster hydrophilic sealant, prior to placement of the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000. Once the surface has been prepared accordingly, brush a thin coat of CJ-100 Adhesive 30mm wide onto the concrete surface and one thin coat to the surface of the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000.
2. Once both surfaces of where the adhesive was applied, are touch dry, with the use of your thumbs or heel of your hand, firmly press a continuous bead of Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 into position, making sure you achieve full contact with the adhesive on the concrete surface. Do not stretch the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 when applying it into position.
3. Use a neat, firm butt join to join Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 together and then apply a 10mm bead of Leakmaster over the top of the join and down each side of the join. This type of join is used for continuous placement of Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 and for any intersection joins.
4. Check to see that the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 has fully adhered to the concrete surface. There must be no visible gaps under the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 after installation.
5. The protective paper layer cover on the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 can be removed any time prior to the second pour of concrete taking place.
6. Placement of the second pour of concrete can be applied once the adhesive has dried. Upon pouring, make sure the concrete is properly compacted and vibrated around the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 .
7. If the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 has been exposed to water (moisture) prior to the second pour taking place, check for pre-expansion. If the product has pre-expanded, then remove that section and replace with a new length of Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 .
8. For vertical construction joints and overhead applications, it may be necessary to also secure the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 with nails, placed approximately every 250mm apart. This is usually only required as extra security if you need to pour your concrete prior to the CJ-100 Adhesive drying completely.
9. If the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 is going to be exposed to moisture or submerged in water longer than 5-7 days, then an additional coating of CJ Expansion Delay Coating may need to be applied to all exposed areas. Consult CJSA for further advice.

For a rough concrete surface:

1. For rough concrete surfaces where the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 cannot conform to the irregularities of the surface, the use of Leakmaster hydrophilic sealant must be applied instead of CJ-100 Adhesive. Depending upon the roughness of the concrete, apply a continuous 10mm to 20mm diameter bead of Leakmaster onto the surface. Once applied, with the use of your thumbs or heel of your hand, firmly press a continuous bead of Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 into position, making sure you achieve full contact with the Leakmaster on the concrete surface. Do not stretch the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 when applying it into position.

Note: All other points above from number 3 to 9 also need to be applied.

Step 1

Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 is to be adhered to the 1st pour of concrete with CJ-100 Adhesive. A clean, dry surface free from dust, debris, etc, is required. Apply one application of adhesive onto the concrete surface and one application onto one side of the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000.

STEP 2

Once both surfaces are touch dry, lay the Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 into position and push firmly down with your fingers. If the surface is rough then you may need to use a firmer hand pressure to make sure that the product has full contact with the surface of the concrete.

Waterstops where shown on the drawings shall be Hydro-Stop® CJ-5000 Chloroprene Rubber Hydrophilic Waterstop as supplied by CJSA. The waterstop is to have a built-in expansion control system to minimise any pre-expansion prior to the second pour taking place and be able to withstand up to 60 metres (6.0 Bar) hydrostatic head pressure resistance. The waterstop is to be placed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation guidelines, and the design engineers specification.

In confined spaces or in still air conditions, the use of a ventilation fan or suitable respirator should be used, and the advice and approval of the Site Safety Supervisor is essential.
