Abstract
The invention provides a novel water-swellable polymeric composition useful as a leakage-preventing material filling an interstice, for example, in a concrete body or at a pipe joint. The polymeric composition comprises (a) a hydrophilic or water-soluble polymer having carboxyl groups in the molecule, (b) a water-soluble epoxy compound having at least two epoxy groups per molecule and (c) a rubbery polymer as blended with the components (a) and (b) in the form of an aqueous dispersion, e.g. a rubber latex, having been dried and subjected to a heat treatment, preferably, as impregnating a fibrous core material.
