EMSEAL’s THERMAFLEX has been
successfully used to seal structural expansion joints on parking decks,
and stadiums for over a decade.
This uncommon success is due to
product quality and EMSEAL's unique,
collaborative, approach to three-dimensional joint detailing and application review.
EMSEAL has resisted industry trends
toward massively loading nosing materials with aggregate to drive down
costs and supplies a resin-rich nosing material that ensures
flexibility, impact resistance, and durability.
EMSEAL’s detailed approach to each
project ensures that specific design characteristics are considered and
addressed.
While it is easy to
represent a product as watertight in cross-section, it is at changes in
plane and direction like curbs and sidewalks where joints leak.
Warranting
watertightness by supplying factory-fabricated transitions for these
conditions is a mainstay of EMSEAL’s success. EMSEAL further
extends this warranty of watertightness to transitions between its own
materials of different types when detailed as recommended.
THERMAFLEX SUMMARY
Most widely used joint type for parking
decks. A durable solution for stadium bowl joints.
Durable under vehicular traffic and extreme weather
conditions.
Cost-effective for new and retrofit
installations.
Available double-cell & multi-cell
designs ensure systems sealing integrity.
Extruded seals with perforated flanges
embedded in high-strength, flexible, impact-absorbing elastomeric
nosing.
The
EMCRETE nosing material is
a two-part polyurethane
reinforced with fiberglass and silica sand.
Aggregate loading is conservatively maintained at less than two
parts aggregate to one part resin by weight in order to preserve optimum
balance between compressive strength, flexibility, and attenuation of
errant snow plow shocks.
System becomes integral with deck as nosing
material penetrates perforations and bonds to the concrete.
Cold-applied nosing mortar is self-curing and requires no outside heat source.
Nosing material flows uniformly and is
easily troweled.
For terminations/transitions to vertical
surfaces, non-sag additive is available for nosing material.
Santoprene‚
seals are heat-weldable enabling provision of a continuous seal through factory-fabricated
transitions and terminations. |
