Expansion Joint <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Fast Cure Rubber <strong>Repair</strong> Liquid<br />

Laurel <strong>Maintenance</strong><br />

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.
