Sika Hydrotite is a state-of-the-art hydrophilic waterstop with unmatched durability and watersealing capacity. Comprised of non-bentonite, modified chloroprene rubber, Sika Hydrotite expands up to eight times its original volume when exposed to water. This expansion creates an effective compression seal within joints of limited movement.
Sika Hydrotite CJ-1020-2K-ADH is a 32.8-foot, co-extruded, hydrophilic waterstop with adhesive backing designed to seal concrete construction joints. Made from non-bentonite modified chloroprene rubber, it expands up to eight times its original volume when exposed to water, forming a compression seal that prevents water ingress. This dual-component profile combines hydrophilic and non-hydrophilic rubber for directional expansion, while its delay coating prevents premature swelling before concrete placement. The peel-and-stick adhesive simplifies installation, making it ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects involving water-retaining or below-grade structures.

How is the CJ-1020-2K-ADH installed?
It includes an adhesive backing. Simply peel off the release liner and press the profile onto clean concrete before the second pour.
Can the waterstop be exposed to rain before the second pour?
No. Protect it from premature moisture exposure to prevent early expansion, which may reduce sealing effectiveness.
Is CJ-1020-2K-ADH suitable for potable water applications?
Yes. It is certified under NSF/ANSI 61 and safe for use in potable water structures.
