PTB PVC Joint
PVC waterstop with central bulb for movement joints
Drykos® PTB PVC Joint is a high-elasticity preformed PVC waterstop featuring a central bulb, designed for the waterproofing of expansion and movement joints with external application to the concrete pour.
The product is manufactured by extruding high-quality thermoplastic vinyl resins, appropriately plasticized to ensure high mechanical strength, durability, and long-term stability even in aggressive environments.
Thanks to the central bulb, it is capable of absorbing structural movements and dimensional variations, ensuring continuous hydraulic sealing.

Application info
Application
Drykos® PTB PVC Joint is designed for external application to the pour. It must be positioned at the joint with the central bulb aligned with the movement zone. The profile is laid on the lean concrete or fixed to the formwork and must be kept in position during the concrete pour. Connections between profiles must be made by heat welding or bonding, ensuring the continuity of the system.
