EMSEAL’s THERMAFLEX has been successfully used to seal structural expansion joints on parking decks and stadiums for over a decade. 

This uncommon success is due to product quality and EMSEAL's unique, collaborative, approach to three-dimensional joint detailing and application review.

EMSEAL has resisted industry trends toward massively loading nosing materials with aggregate to drive down costs and supplies a resin-rich nosing material that ensures flexibility, impact resistance, and durability. 

EMSEAL’s detailed approach to each project ensures that specific design characteristics are considered and addressed. 

While it is easy to represent a product as watertight in cross-section, it is at changes in plane and direction like curbs and sidewalks where joints leak.  

Warranting watertightness by supplying factory-fabricated transitions for these conditions is a mainstay of EMSEAL’s success.  EMSEAL further extends this warranty of watertightness to transitions between its own materials of different types when detailed as recommended.

THERMAFLEX SUMMARY
Most widely used joint type for parking decks.  A durable solution for stadium bowl joints.

Durable under vehicular traffic and extreme weather conditions.

Cost-effective for new and retrofit installations.

Available double-cell & multi-cell designs ensure systems sealing integrity.

Extruded seals with perforated flanges embedded in high-strength, flexible, impact-absorbing elastomeric nosing.

Nosing material is two-part polyurethane reinforced with fiberglass and silica sand. Aggregate loading is conservatively maintained at less than two parts aggregate to one part resin by weight in order to preserve optimum balance between compressive strength, flexibility, and attenuation of errant snow plow shocks.

System becomes integral with deck as nosing material penetrates perforations and bonds to the concrete.

Cold-applied nosing mortar is self-curing and requires no outside heat source.

Nosing material flows uniformly and is easily toweled.

For terminations/transitions to vertical surfaces, non-sag additive is available for nosing material.

Santoprene‚ seals are heat-weldable enabling provision of a continuous seal through factory-fabricated transitions and terminations.
