Watertight Expansion Joints and Construction Sealants by EMSEAL

Wabo®FlameGuard II (VFG, HFG, UFG)

Fire Barrier System for Expansion Joints in Horizontal & Vertical Conditions - 3-4-Hour, UL 2079 Fire Resistant Blanket

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

A fire barrier expansion joint system, Wabo®FlameGuard II is a fire resistive blanket for repair, retrofit, and new installation in structural expansion joints and construction joints in horizontal and vertical plane applications. FlameGuard II is a factory assembled fire barrier system that has been designed to provide the required fire endurance rating, minimize passage of smoke and accommodate dynamic movement without stress or degradation to its components.

FlameGuard II is a 3-4-hour UL-certified expansion joint fire barrier. (For 1-2-hour fire rating see Wabo®FireFlex)

FlameGuard II is tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), to the rigors of UL 2079 for deck/floor and wall expansion joints.

Specify coverplate solutions for pedestrian and vehicular trafficable applications.

Where UL tested listings do not meet your specific project conditions ask Sika Emseal for an engineered judgement.

For watertight single-installation fire rated solutions, see Sika Emseal’s line of precompressed fire-rated foam expansion joint solutions.
