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

Problem:<br />
Over several years of continual traffic, these expansion joints became deteriorated. As a result of failed<br />
expansion joints, spider cracking began. The uneven floor surface caused problems such as difficulty<br />
moving wheeled equipment, <strong>and</strong> forklift load shifting.<br />
Solution:<br />
Loose, deteriorated concrete was mechanically removed. Remaining concrete was roughened to provide a<br />
profile. All surface areas were then chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was<br />
applied into the expansion joints <strong>and</strong> cracks <strong>and</strong> allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. A polypropylene<br />
backer was stuffed 3/4” into the expansion joints <strong>and</strong> cracks. The polypropylene backer will prevent deep<br />
migration of Fast Cure Liquid, <strong>and</strong> reduce the volume required. Fast Cure Rubber <strong>Repair</strong> Liquid was<br />
injected into the damaged or repair areas using <strong>Devcon</strong>’s Auto Mix Application System. This product is<br />
self- leveling <strong>and</strong> provided a smooth, flexible, (450% elongation), expansion joint seal. Fast Cure Rubber<br />
<strong>Repair</strong> Liquid also provided a functional cure in only 90 minutes, reducing repair downtime.
