PEC's
expansion joint sealing system is unique in that it
is the only system that comprises of a primary and secondary
sealing arrangement combined with a protection joint
cover plate.
The secondary sealing component consists of a specially
modified polyurethane liquid compound which cures to
form a tough, elastic waterproof membrane.
Unlike adhesives, bitumen, fixed or pressure sensitive
membranes, the totally homogeneous liquid polyurethane
guarantees uniform thickness and total bonding to any
surface with a continuous seam, free of any joints.
The primary sealing compound consists of a 5mm think
reinforced natural rubber sheet which is laid over the
sealed joint. Whilst the sheet acts as a primary seal
it also provides the unique feature of acting as a cushion
between the concrete surface and the expansion joint
cover. This cushion eliminates vibration and noise associated
with other types of expansion joint cover plates.
The expansion joint cover plate is produced from 5mm
thick galvanized steel and protects the sealed joint
from ultraviolet attack and physical damage caused by
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Covers and sealing compounds are designed to accommodate
substantial multi-directional movement between building
structures without creating tension or other stresses
and can be easily removed for inspection. Expansion
joint covers can also be installed over existing sealant
and are widely used in multi-deck structures, car parks,
roofs, ramps, driveways to name just a few applications.
