  • Patent number: 10323409
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant and fire-resistant foam-based seal in the joint between adjacent panels. An expansion joint seal, which may be fire-resistant and/or water-resistant, is provided which includes one or more body members, a fire retardant member, which may be of an intumescent member, interspersed within the body member or members, a plurality of resilient members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance, and a connector of at least two of the resilient members, which connect each of the resilient members to a cover plant or may connect the two resilient members to one another.

  • Patent number: 10323360
    Abstract: A system which creates a durable seal between adjacent horizontal panels, including those that may be curved or subject to temperature expansion and contraction or mechanical shear. The durable seal system incorporates a plurality of ribs, a flexible member between the cover plate and the ribs and may incorporate a load transfer plate to provide support to the rib from below, and/or cores of differing compressibilities.

  • Publication number: 20190107201
    Abstract: An integral multilayer joint seal. Layers of foam, layered co-planar to the adjacent surface, are interspersed with a barrier layer which extends beyond the foam layers to provide a protective surface, a surface for attachment atop adjacent substrates, or a connecting tab for use with adjacent joint seals. The foam layers may be uncompressed or partially compressed at the time of joint formation and may be composed of open or closed, or hybrid, cell foam. The foam may be impregnated with a fire retardant or may be composed of a fire retardant material, if desired. The barrier may have a tensile strength greater than the adjacent foam. The joint seal may have an elastomer, such as silicone, at its top and/or bottom, and may even include an elastomer layer within or about the barrier.

  • Publication number: 20190063608
    Abstract: An expansion joint seal proving a flexible barrier therethrough in a concave shape with a first body of compressible foam on one side and a second body of compressible foam on the other side, where the barrier extends laterally from the first body and second body and may be used to protect the sides of the expansion joint seal or may be used to provide contact on the surface of each adjacent substrate.

  • Patent number: 10087621
    Abstract: An expansion joint seal system which includes a temperature-activated fire retarding material to protect uncoated edges of substrates. A fire rated compressed expansion joint sealant is provided having a temperature-activated fire retarding material proximate, but below the water-resistant top of the foam, so that when exposed to fire, the temperature-activated fire retarding material expands to protect the exposed vertical surface of the adjacent concrete substrate. The end of the concrete is therefore protected in a manner which does not require joint overlap between the horizontal fire resistant coating and the compressible sealant.
