Waterstops are flexible seals installed in concrete structuresto prevent the passage of fluids between joints of concrete structures. Theyare designed as a fluid tight diaphragm. They play an important role inwaterproofing concrete structures, especially joints and the weakest areaswhich are prone to leakage of fluids. Concrete contracts and expands withtemperature fluctuations. Waterstops are installed in order to cope up with thechanges. Joints unless sealed are likely to allow fluids into the structure. Therefore, waterstops are installed in all concrete structures such as dams andwater treatment plants during construction. The market for waterstops can besegmented based on type, material, application, and region.
In termsof type, the waterstopsmarket can be classified into external, internal, and expansionjoints. External waterstops are installed on the wet side of thestructure to protect against ingress of mud or any other substance. Externalwaterstops are also used as double tightness systems for nuclear plants and atramps to motorway tunnels. They are usually recommended for open structuressuch as tunnel roofs. Internal waterstops are fitted at the center of the wallwith a flexible center sponge to form a free space to allow movement in theconcrete structure. Expansion joints keep the joints clean and prevent theentry of dirt and dust. Internal waterstops accounts for the major share of thewaterstops market.
Based onmaterial, the waterstops market can be segregated into PVC, HDPE, rubber, andothers. PVC material waterstops are commonly used due to their elongationcapabilities, high tensile strength, and high resistance to ozone, acids,alkalis, diesel oil, and other chemical liquids. HDPE material waterstops aresimilar to PVC material waterstops, but with stronger and harder structure andhigh abrasion ability. They can withstand low and high temperature fluctuationsand also offer high resistance to acids, hydrocarbons, and oils. These areideal for applications in hydrocarbon and fuel areas. Rubber materialwaterstops can withstand high water pressures, and are more flexible. In termsof material, PVC constitutes the prominent share of the waterstops market dueto its wide usage in dams, canals, water reservoirs, bridges, and tunnel construction.

Based onapplication, the waterstops market can be divided into water reservoirs andcanals, bridges and tunnels, storage tanks, wastewater treatment facilities,and others. Waterstops apply techniques during installation that force seals toimplant into the concrete. The water reservoirs and canals segment constitutesmajor share of the waterstops market due to their large construction structure.However, the bridges and tunnels segment is anticipated to expand at a rapidpace during the forecast period.
