HYDROPHILIC TUNNEL SEGMENT GASKETS
VIP also manufacture hydrophilic gaskets for both our Cast-In and Glued-In profiles.
Hydrophilic compounds are designed to swell when they come into contact with water which can close the gap between the gasket faces.

VIP supply hydrophilic gaskets in 2 main formats:
Hydrophilic cord inserted into a slot in a TSG prior to installation  |
Hydrophilic strip co-extruded onto an elastomeric TSG  |
