JOINT-GUARD™: The Ultimate Solution for Heavy-Duty Expansion Joints
When it comes to maintaining industrial floors subjected to heavy traffic, expansion joints are often the first to show signs of wear. Enter JOINT-GUARD™, a flexible, epoxy-urethane hybrid sealant designed to withstand the rigors of steel wheel traffic while maintaining its integrity.
What is JOINT-GUARD™?
It is a two-component, 100% solids sealant that combines the best of epoxy and urethane resins. Its unique formulation allows it to flex up to 50%, ensuring that your expansion joints remain intact even as concrete expands and contracts with temperature changes. This flexibility prevents brittleness and cracking, common issues with traditional concrete repair materials.
Key Features
- Steel Wheel Traffic Resistance: Designed to endure the impact of heavy machinery without degrading.
- Self-Leveling and Pourable: Ensures an even application without the need for extensive tooling.
- Non-Shrink and Self-Priming: Provides a durable bond that prevents contaminants from pooling in joint areas.
- Flexible Up to 50%: Accommodates joint movement without cracking or breaking.
Ideal Applications
JOINT-GUARD™ is perfect for expansion joints in industrial floors, sidewalks and aprons as well as ramps and platforms. Its versatility makes it suitable for various settings, including food processing plants, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
