SSI recognized a need for a product to prevent inflow and infiltration in the joint section and adjustment ring area of manholes.
SSI wanted a product that could easily be applied on the inside, which would eliminate the need to excavate the manhole. The product needed excellent elongation characteristics, enabling it to flex with the movement of a manhole. The product had to be corrosion resistant to the chemicals associated with manholes. It had to be abrasion resistant and it needed superior bonding capabilities to concrete, cast iron, fiberglass, and many other construction materials. Additionally, the product had to pass a vacuum test.
