Wabo®ElastoFlex (EFJ)

Parking Garage Expansion Joint System in Concrete Decks - Watertight Heavy Duty Steel Reinforced System for Forklift and Vehicular Traffic on Parking Decks, Stadiums, Convention Centers, etc.

Sika Emseal now supports and sells all Wabo® Commercial Building Expansion Joints

A parking garage expansion joint system for concrete decks, Wabo®ElastoFlex (EFJ) provides a continuous membrane combined with heavy duty, steel reinforced EPDM rubber blocks. The system is designed for heavy duty applications in parking decks, loading docks, elevated roadways, convention centers, stadiums and other vehicle and forklift traffic conditions.

ElastoFlex is a watertight continuous membrane system for joints with movements up to four inches. The system uses mechanically fastened EPDM anchor blocks with molded-in steel inserts to support heavy duty and high impact loads.

The winged flange of the durable elastomeric seal is locked between the anchor block and concrete slab and recessed flush for a smooth walking and driving surface. A sealant bedding compound is applied between the winged flange and concrete slab to enhance the product’s watertightness. The exposed surfaces are nonmetallic and skid resistant while resisting UV deterioration and most chemicals. A tongue and groove connection at the end of each block prevents separation and uplift.

Specify Emshield® DFR for the added life safety assurance of built-in UL 2079 fire rating.
