MasterSeal 910

MasterSeal 910
(Formerly known as Masterflex 610)
Water swelling waterbar for joints

DESCRIPTION
MasterSeal 910 Waterbar is suitable for all
construction joints subject to hydrostatic pressure,
on one or both sides. MasterSeal 910 provide
simple but efficient waterproofing of construction
joints. Movements in the joint, e.g. by shrinkage or
settlement in the substrate, are taken up by the
elastic profile of the MasterSeal 910 Waterbar.
MasterSeal 910 has been successfully employed
to waterproof joints where an opening of up to
5mm was deliberately created. Water pressure of
up to 5 bar was sealed.
PACKAGING
20 x 10mm ( 5%) 30 linear metres per carton.
MasterSeal 910 is a component of the BASF pilecap waterproofing and watertight jointing systems.
Consult your representative for details.
MasterSeal 910 Waterbars are resistant to most

ordinary mould release agents, but if in doubt the
installed waterbar should always be protected from
accidental exposure to form release agents.
MATERIAL COMPOSITION
MasterSeal 910 is based on a newly developed
polymer technology providing flexible polymer
composites which have high chemical resistance
capable of storing water in their molecular
structure by increasing their volume.
Where previously MasterSeal 910 was available
in different grades for various exposure conditions.
A single version of MasterSeal 910 now resists
deterioration in the following conditions: In fresh
water and where the water has a high salt content
(sea water, brackish water), in construction with
high chemical exposure and/or exposure of
solvents, including oils and fuels.
FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOUR
When in contact with water the MasterSeal 910
Waterbars will slowly increase in volume (swell)
without changing the homogeneous structure of
the polymer matrix. The increase in volume by the
swelling action can be up to 200% (depending on
type of water). The pressure of the swelling action
will cause the MasterSeal 910 Waterbar to profile
itself exactly into the joint filling all cavities and
effectively stopping water seepage, even at high
external water pressure.
The MasterSeal 910 Waterbars will not transport
water through their polymer matrix and thus not
act as a capillary duct. The swelling action is
limited to the sides exposed to water.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
PREPARATION:
All joints to be waterproofed with MasterSeal 910
Waterbars must first be cleaned. Free standing
water and sharp protrusions must be avoided.
MasterSeal 910 Waterbars can be installed on
moist or frozen surfaces.
PLACING:
For normal joint widths of 200-400mm,
MasterSeal 910 is placed in the middle of the
joint. For added safety thicker walls can be fitted
with 2 waterbars.
MasterSeal 910 Waterbars are glued into the joint
with a special adhesive for MasterSeal 910
Waterbars.
On
vertical
surfaces
the
MasterSeal 910 is temporarily fixed to the
construction joint with a nail until the adhesive
dries.
MasterSeal 910 Waterbar MUST always be
secured so that the waterbar is in close contact
with the surface of the substrate otherwise the full
waterproofing effect will not be obtained.
After placing the MasterSeal 910 Waterbar the
joint area should be kept clean and free of loose
dirt and stones before concreting. The minimum
concrete cover of MasterSeal 910 Waterbar is
80mm.

BUTT JOINTS:
MasterSeal 910 Waterbars should never be glued
at butt joints, but laid with a 20mm overlap.
