Energy storage wall sealing joint structure

What is civil engineering joint sealing?

Civil engineering structures are also used for industrial processing and manufacturing industries - from mining to food processing facilities and more. Civil engineering joint sealing is more than just closing gaps in your structure - it is safely, securely and durably connecting and sealing high performance components.

How do structural move-ments affect Joint sealants?

Structural move-ments change the initial joint dimen-sions and consequently can apply con-siderable stress to the sealing material, often shear stress. Movement within the joints is a reality and the long-term solution to accommodate them are high-performance elastic joint sealants.

What are the application properties of Joint sealants?

THE APPLICATION PROPERTIES OF sealants have a direct impact on the efficiency, reliability and appearance of the joint sealing job. For efficient application the sealant must be easy to extrude – even at low temperatures. To achieve a visually attractive finish the sealant must be easy to tool.

What is the movement capability of a joint sealant?

The movement capability describes the ability of a joint seal-ant to expand and contract under load. ISO 11600 deines several tests regarding elongation, compression at diferent temperatures and environmental conditions. For example class 25 means that the joint sealant was tested for ± 25% movement.

Why do you need a joint sealant & sealing system?

The joints are always where your building enve-lope’s resistance is weakest to leakage. Only correctly specified, high performance joint sealants and sealing systems, which are profes-sionally detailed and applied, will ensure that your building remains durably and sustainably watertight for its entire lifespan.

What is a high performance joint sealant & sealing system?

Only correctly specified, high performance joint sealants and sealing systems, which are profes-sionally detailed and applied, will ensure that your building remains durably and sustainably watertight for its entire lifespan. THE FACADE IS THE PUBLIC FACE of your building.
