SikaFuko® Eco-1
PVC Re-injectable Hose For Sealing Construction Joints
SikaFuko® Eco-1 is a re-injectable hose for sealing various construction joints in watertight concrete structures. To seal the joint, SikaFuko® Eco-1 is injected with suitable Sika® Injection materials, such as acrylate and cement suspensions (for multiple injections) or polyurethane resins (for single injection).
- Multiple re-injections with Sika injection acrylate resins or microfine cement suspensions
- One time injectable with Sika injection polyurethane injection resins
- Ideal back-up solution for combination with waterstops
- Easy to secure and install
- Tested in water pressures up to 10 bar (100m)
- Suitable for many different structures and construction methods
Usage
- Sealing construction joints
- Suitable for many different structures and construction methods where additional joint security/safety is required
- Prevents water ingress through concrete joints in the following typical structures: Water retaining or excluding structures, water reservoirs, dams, canals, sewage treatment plants, tunnels, subways, retaining walls
- As a back-up system for waterbars
- Enables testing for water leaks
