The SealBoss ® SwellCaulk Hydro Active
SealBoss® Swell Caulk is a single component, hydrophilic, gungrade waterstop caulk.
When in contact with water, SealBoss ® SwellCaulk Sealants develop an expansive swelling pressure. The pressure between the expanding product and the surrounding concrete structure creates a compression seal and prevents the penetration of water through the joint providing a durable waterproofing solution.
SealBoss ® SwellCaulkTM is a single component, hydrophilic, gungrade waterstop. The product is formulated for sealing construction joints, pipe penetrations and other concrete joints of smooth and uneven surfaces. Material cures and swells in the presence of moisture or water thereby creating a compression seal.
Curing time decreases with higher temperatures and greater relative humidity. SealBoss ® SwellCaulkTM will cure in approximately 24 to 36 hours depending on ambient climate. The prodcuct is supplied in sausages or in cartridges. The product is for professional use.
SealBoss ® SwellCaulkTM can be used as an adhesive for SealBoss SwellTapeTM, joint waterstop system, see corresponding data sheet.

Football Team Field House SealBoss Grout Injection
Sam Houston State University authorized renovations to the Football team’s Field House and Locker Room area.
The scope included the installation of masonry walls and the capping of old Pipe Penetrations. The Contractor was asked to cut out the existing Pipe Penetrations and to fill them with a grout patch first, and then drill a ½” hole through the patch and inject behind the grout patch to ensure the cap was watertight.
The exact procedure was specified by the project engineer. The project contractor asked SealBoss for technical on the job assistance with the specified injection procedure.
In addition, other repair methods to seal off the Pipe Penetrations using SwellCaulk and Oakum were also covered during the training. Read More
