Durable sealing for concrete structures
Concrete tanks and pipelines, both in industrial and municipal infrastructure, require effective protection against water ingress, moisture, and aggressive chemical substances. Leaks at the joints can lead to concrete corrosion, structural degradation, and significant operational losses.
The solution lies in butyl-based sealing cords and profiles, offered by Almara – an expert in advanced sealing systems for civil and industrial engineering.
Why is butyl the best material for concrete sealing?
Butyl rubber compounds are modern elastomers known for their exceptional sealing performance and strong adhesion to mineral surfaces. They offer:
-
High elasticity – maintaining tightness even under movement, vibration, and temperature changes,
-
Excellent chemical resistance – against water, sewage, acids, alkalis, and salts,
-
Long-term durability – resistant to aging, cracking, and hardening over time,
-
Easy installation – no special tools or curing time required,
-
Customizable profiles – adaptable to the geometry and requirements of each structure.
What is compression sealing?
The compression sealing principle relies on the permanent compression of butyl material between two concrete elements.
During the assembly of prefabricated components – such as manhole rings, pipe segments, or tank panels – the butyl cord is compressed, allowing it to flow and fill all micro-gaps and surface irregularities.
As a result, a completely watertight and gas-tight barrier is formed, maintaining its sealing properties even when the structure experiences slight movements or deformations.
Choosing the right material – trust Almara’s expertise
Every concrete structure has unique technical requirements: different loads, pressure levels, and environmental conditions. That’s why it’s crucial to select the right type of butyl cord or profile.
Almara provides comprehensive technical support to ensure optimal material selection based on factors such as:
-
Type of structure (tank, channel, pipeline, manhole),
-
Operating temperature range and internal pressure,
-
Exposure to chemical agents,
-
Assembly and joint design of concrete elements.
With a wide range of butyl sealing profiles in various diameters, shapes, and hardness levels, Almara ensures a perfectly tailored sealing system for each project.
