SikaFuko® VT-1 Re-injectable hose for sealing construction joints
SikaFuko® VT-1 is a re-injectable hose for sealing various construction and connection joints in watertight concrete structures. To seal the joint, SikaFuko® VT-1 is injected with suitable Sika® Injection materials, such as acrylate and microfine cement suspensions (for multiple injections) or polyurethane and epoxy resins (for single injection). With the integrated ‘valve techniques’ the hose can be used to re-inject multiple times if necessary.
