Building <strong>Maintenance</strong><br />
Problem:<br />
The current expansion joints within this floor system received corrosive wear from chemical attack.<br />
Previous repair method was to fill worn areas with a caulking material. Caulking material offered poor<br />
chemical resistance to H2S04 <strong>and</strong> was prone to cracking, ultimately compromising the seal.<br />
Solution:<br />
Complete repair area was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to remove loose concrete <strong>and</strong> provide a roughened surface. A<br />
polypropylene backer was stuffed into the expansion joints. The polypropylene backer prevented deep<br />
migration of Flexane 80 Liquid, reducing the amount required. FL20 Primer was applied to the interior<br />
of the expansion joint <strong>and</strong> allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. Flexane 80 Liquid fast Cure, (90<br />
minute functional cure), was injected using <strong>Devcon</strong>’s Automatic Mixing Application System. Flexane<br />
80 Liquid’s viscosity allowed the urethane material to self level forming a smooth even flexible, (350%<br />
elongation), seal.
