Request Safety Sheet
A bituminous / asphalt based compound which will harden on dowel bars to form a thin plastic sheath which after casting of concrete will allow the dowel bar to completely break bond with the concrete and allow for easy removal.
ADOBREAK is manufactured to comply with the requirements of Clause 1011 of the Specification for Highway Works 2001.
• A cost effective alternative to dowel bar sleeves, as you don’t have to buy different sizes.
• Safer to use on site as dowel bar sleeves can be a trip hazard
Apply to dowel bars by brush or by dipping, allowing for a maximum of 10 days between coating and casting of concrete. Although satisfactory performance will be obtained at up to 16 days between coating and casting a programmed time limit of 10 days is suggested to allow for un-programmed delays which may occur under site conditions.
During cold weather thickening of ADOBREAK will occur but do not thin. If difficult to apply, slightly warm material by the application of indirect heat.
ADOBREAK will perform satisfactorily when applied at a rate of up to 1.8 – 3.6 m2 per litre, however for estimating purposes experience shows that it is advisable to calculate on the basis of 1 litre to coat a 35 meter length of 25 mm bar or a 43 meter length of 20mm bar.
Store at room temperature and away from direct heat.
Practically unlimited in sealed containers.
ADOBREAK is manufactured by Adomast Manufacturing Ltd and shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Aquabar is an expanding hydrophilic waterstop. Aquabar has been developed for use in concrete structures at construction and other joint locations, where the expansion of the Aquabar fills any minor voids in the concrete surrounding the water bar, preventing the passage of water across the plane of the joint.
Aquabar is flexible and with its rectangular section, installation on site is simple, even around corners. Unlike other methods Aquabar requires no site welding at corners or intersections.
Aquabar is easily kneaded together to give continuity through the longest lengths. Aquabar is an ecological and user friendly product that is easy to install by use of either gun-nailing or gluing with Aquabar Mastic.
