Adeka KBA-1510FP 82' Case

Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP is an expanding rubber waterstop designed for non-moving joints. Because of its low expansion pressure, it can be used in areas with a minimum of one inch of concrete coverage. KBA-1510FP undergoes controlled expansion when exposed to moisture. This expansion capability provides a "double locking" waterstop.

  • For use in non-moving joints such as concrete joints, precast structures, piping penetrations, etc
  • Expands 30% by volume when exposed to water
  • Environmentaly safe - no toxic substances or heavy metals

Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP Hydrophilic Waterstop

Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP is a hydrophilic vulcanized sponge-rubber waterstop for non-moving joints. Low expansion pressure lets it work with as little as 1 in of good-quality cover, including containment curbs, precast segments that stay in compression, and piping penetrations. KBA-1510FP is intended for hydrostatic heads of 25 ft or less and holds up in seawater and cement water on the wet face of the pour.

Key Features

  • Thin-cover placements with as little as 1 in of good-quality concrete
  • Containment curbs where a high-swell strip would be too aggressive
  • Precast segments that stay in compression at the joint
  • Hydrostatic heads of about 25 ft or less
  • Seawater and cement water exposure
  • P-201 paste can fill rough spots beside the strip

Applications

  • Non-moving concrete joints
  • Containment curbs
  • Precast segments in compression
  • Piping penetrations at thin cover

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP instead of KM-3030M?
Use KBA-1510FP when cover is thin, the joint does not move, and head is about 25 ft or less. Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M is the 30 x 30 mm mesh strip for thicker walls, expansion joints up to 1/2 in, and higher head. Both are live on this site; pick by cover and head, not by pack.

How little concrete cover can Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP work with?
The OCM sheet allows as little as 1 in of good-quality, well-consolidated concrete. That low expansion pressure is why KBA-1510FP shows up on curbs and other thin sections where a high-swell strip would blow the cover.

What hydrostatic head is Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP intended for?
KBA-1510FP is intended for hydrostatic heads of 25 ft or less. If the joint sees more head or needs a thicker mesh strip, look at Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M instead.

Can Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP be used in seawater or cement water?
Yes. The OCM sheet lists seawater and cement water among the solutions KBA-1510FP can perform in. It does not contain toxic substances or heavy metals.

Will Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP work between precast segments?
Yes, on non-moving precast joints that stay in compression across the KBA-1510FP section. If a segment can open, this is the wrong profile.

When would I pick Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP over MC-2005T?
KBA-1510FP is the thin-cover sponge (about 1 in). Adeka Ultraseal MC-2005T is the adhesive 20 x 5 mm strip that wants 4 to 5 in of cover, typically on pipe 24 in or smaller. Cover and joint type decide, not the brand name.
