DESCRIPTION
Polystop CJ is Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) resin extrusions
waterstop that are plasticized and stabilized to offer good
performance in concrete structures against water leakages.

Polystop CJ is manufactured to meet the most stringent
performance specifications and are resistant to abrasion Application instructions
and chemicals. Internal and centrally placed waterstops are positioned

is aligned with the centre of the joint. Such waterstops
