Emseal is a leading innovator and manufacturer of premium sealants and expansion joint systems for the commercial construction industry and many specialty market applications.

Sika expansion joints for concrete walls.

For joints in floor substrates which have to withstand a lot of different stressors we developed innovative pre fabricated panel systems called sika floorjoint. Working with sika corporation emseal provides international reach and unrivaled ability to integrate and seal the entire building envelope. For wet concrete applications all excess or standing water must be displaced and concrete must then dry for a minimum of 60 min prior to sealant installation. It is used for the installation and repair of joints in concrete slabs and concrete screeds in car park decks garage floors ramps storage areas production halls and hospitals.

The joint width must be designed to suit the joint movement required and the movement capability of the sealant. A width to depth ratio of 2 1 must be maintained for exceptions see table below. Sikadur combiflex sg system or sika dilatec system are post applied tape systems adhered with epoxy resin onto the membrane providing an ideal solution for construction and expansion joints in particular to seal joints of precast components.
