Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M Hydrophilic Waterstop

Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M is a hydrophilic vulcanized rubber strip with embedded stainless mesh for expansion joints, isolation joints, and thick cold joints. Mesh-directed swell runs about 3 times by volume, and movement is intended not to exceed 1/2 in. Use KM-3030M where the wall or slab is at least 1 ft thick, including high-head work such as dams.

Key Features

  • Expansion joints with movement not exceeding 1/2 in
  • Stainless mesh directs swell through the joint
  • Wall or slab at least 1 ft thick
  • About 3 times volume swell when wet
  • Seawater and cement water exposure
  • High hydrostatic work including dams

Applications

  • Expansion joints up to 1/2 in movement
  • Isolation joints
  • Construction and cold joints in thick walls
  • Dams and other high-head structures

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M a better pick than KBA-1510FP?
KM-3030M is the 30 x 30 mm mesh strip for thick walls (at least 1 ft), expansion joints, and higher head. Adeka Ultraseal KBA-1510FP is the low-pressure sponge for about 1 in cover and 25 ft head. If the wall is thin, KM-3030M is the wrong profile.

Can Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M go in an expansion joint?
Yes. The OCM sheet lists expansion joints among the basic uses, with movement not exceeding 1/2 in. Isolation joints and thick cold joints are the other listed roles.

How much does Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M swell?
About 3 times by volume (170% volume change on the press-sheet values). Stainless mesh in KM-3030M directs that swell so the strip does not wind along its length.

What wall or slab thickness is Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M intended for?
The sheet says use KM-3030M only where wall or slab thickness equals one foot or greater. Thinner cover belongs on a lower-pressure profile such as KBA-1510FP.

Is Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M used in isolation joints as well as cold joints?
Yes. Isolation joints are a listed use, along with expansion joints and construction or cold joints where concrete thickness exceeds 30 in.

Does Adeka Ultraseal KM-3030M hold up in seawater or cement water?
Yes. The OCM sheet lists seawater and cement water among the solutions KM-3030M can perform in, with no toxic substances or heavy metals.
