POLYBAR+ RP

Swellable strips with rain protection

The Polybar+ RP is a Polybar+ swellable strip that swells with a delay upon contact with rain or moisture. For the first two days, Polybar+ RP swells up to 4x less than the standard Polybar+. However, the Polybar+ RP also develops the desired expansion pressure in concrete water. Recommended for construction joints in concrete, reinforced concrete, steel and pipelines.
