JSW iBlok WaterStop 3k

The “3K” in its name refers to its three precisely measured components: a high-quality Portland cement blend with specialized additives, carefully graded quartz sand, and a high-performance acrylic polymer latex. When mixed, these components form a dense, highly alkaline slurry that penetrates deep into the capillaries of the concrete. There, it forms non-soluble crystalline structures that permanently block the passage of water, effectively sealing the surface and the substrate from within.

Key Features and Benefits

• Active Crystalline Technology: The coating’s most significant feature is its ability to create a crystalline structure within the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. This not only provides a surface barrier but also makes the concrete structure itself an integral part of the waterproof shield. These crystals are self-healing and reactivate in the presence of moisture to seal future hairline cracks.
• Dual-Sided Waterproofing: JSW iBlok WaterStop 3K is highly effective against both positive (water-facing) and negative (opposite to water-facing) hydrostatic pressure, making it an ideal solution for basements, retaining walls, and underground structures.
• Exceptional Adhesion and Durability: The acrylic polymer component ensures superior adhesion to a variety of substrates, including concrete and masonry. The resulting coating is hard, durable, and highly resistant to abrasion and long-term weathering.
• Seamless and Joint-Free Film: When applied correctly, it forms a continuous, seamless membrane that eliminates the potential for leaks that can occur at joints or seams in other waterproofing systems.
• Breathable Coating: While being impervious to water, the coating allows the substrate to breathe, permitting trapped water vapor to escape. This prevents the buildup of pressure and reduces the risk of blistering or peeling.
• Chemical Resistance: The cured membrane offers good resistance to various chemicals, protecting the underlying structure from deterioration.

Primary Applications

JSW iBlok WaterStop 3K is the ideal choice for waterproofing critical areas that require long-term, reliable protection, including:

• Basements and Retaining Walls: Perfect for preventing water seepage in below-ground structures.
• Sunken Areas: Provides a robust waterproof barrier for bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens.
• Water Retaining Structures: Suitable for concrete water tanks, reservoirs, and swimming pools.
• Balconies and Terraces: Can be used as a durable waterproofing layer beneath a protective screed or tiles.
• Tunnels and Underground Shafts: Offers dependable protection in demanding subterranean environments.
