  • Fire retardant expansion joint seal system with elastically-compressible members and resilient members
    Patent number: 10087619
    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 foam members and a plurality of fire retardant members, which may be intumescent members, interspersed within the foam member or members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance.

  • Fire retardant expansion joint seal system with elastically-compressible body members, resilient members, and fire retardants
    Patent number: 10087620
    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 foam members and a plurality of fire retardant members, which may be intumescent members, interspersed within the foam member or members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance.

  • Expansion joint seal system with isolated temperature-activated fire retarding members
    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.

  • Fire retardant expansion joint seal system with elastically-compressible body members, internal spring members, and connector
    Publication number: 20180274228
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant as 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.

  • Expansion joint seal system with isolated temperature-activated fire retarding members
    Publication number: 20180266103
    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.
