Sealant Bellows Color Choices
When your aesthetic design calls for color coordinating the visible face of the expansion joint with the surrounding substrate surface–Sika Emseal offers the solution. A wide range of colors are available for many of Emseal’s sealant-coated products (Colorseal/Seismic Colorseal, Horizontal Colorseal, Seismic Colorseal-DS, Emshield WFR1, Emshield WFR2, Emseal WFR3 and QuietJoint).
Sikasil® is the standard silicone choice for Sika Emseal expansion joints.
Additionally, optional silicone colors are available from Dowsil™ 790. For low and non-moving applications, a paintable coating option is available.
Note: Production times are based on the availability of sealants – consult Emseal.

Custom Colors Programs
Here’s more information on our custom colors programs.
When the expansion joint system is dual sided, Seismic Colorseal DS and EMSHIELD WFR2, each side is offered as a separate color choice. (For example, WFR2 can be manufactured with a limestone face showing toward the building’s exterior and a sandstone face showing toward the interior.) The same applies to Universal-90 transitions which can have separate colors for the inside and outside faces.
Emshield DFR3
3-hour fire-rated Emshield DFR3 is manufactured with a sealant coating on the top side. The standard coating on the traffic or floor side is coated with Sikasil® Deck Gray. The underside is coated with a flexible intumescent coating which is Red.
The underside can additionally be overcoated with any of the sealant colors selected from the above color charts.
Emshield WFR3
3-hour fire-rated Emshield WFR3 for wall expansion joints are manufactured with a sealant coating on both sides, applied over a flexible intumescent coating. The outer sealant coatings can be from the same color or can be different colors on each face.
