JP Specialties, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of high-performance waterstop and concrete joint sealing solutions, serving the construction industry since 1954. Headquartered in Murrieta, California, we are renowned for our Earth Shield® line of chemical-resistant waterstops, which are trusted worldwide in critical applications such as water and wastewater treatment plants, chemical containment structures, fuel storage facilities, and ozone contactor systems.  


Our Products

We offer a comprehensive range of waterstop products designed to ensure fluid-tight concrete joints:

  • TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) Waterstops: Provide superior chemical resistance and flexibility, suitable for aggressive environments.
  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Waterstops: Cost-effective solutions for general-purpose applications.
  • Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel Waterstops: Ideal for high-temperature and corrosive environments.
  • Hydrophilic and Mastic Waterstops: Designed for non-moving joints, these swell upon contact with water to ensure a tight seal.

Technical Leadership

Our commitment to engineering excellence is demonstrated by our active participation in multiple American Concrete Institute (ACI) committees.

Our founder, David Poole, authored The Little Book of Waterstop, a widely recognized industry guide.
