Delastic® Preformed Compression Seals In 1960 The D.S. Brown Company began designing and extruding the first generation of Delastic ® Preformed Compression Seals. Since that time continuous improvements have been made to this versatile, cost-effective joint sealing solution. To withstand the demanding requirements of bridge/highway installations, all Delastic ® Preformed Compression Seals are extruded from high-quality polychloroprene (neoprene) compounds which satisfy the standard specifications (ASTM D3542 and D2628) for Preformed Elastomeric Joint Seals for Bridges and Pavements. In addition to highway and bridge applications, Delastic ® Compression Seals have also been used in spillways, dams, parking structures, stadium ramps and pedestrian overpasses. Information on additional seal designs is available.

Installation

In all installation applications, the joint width must be properly set for the specified Delastic ® seal. Also, the vertical faces of the joint must be clean and free of spalled con-

crete. For proper performance, keep the lubricant-adhesive above freezing (32oF). Manual and automatic tools are available to facilitate installation. D.S. Brown DSB 1516 or DSB 1520 lubricant-adhesive is used primarily to lubricate the seal for installation purposes. The DSB lube products meet ASTM D2835 and D4070 standards respectively.

Design Data The table below can be used to select the appropriate Delastic ® Compression Seal for your project. In addition to accommodating perpendicular movements (summarized in the table), Delastic® seals are also capable of accepting approximately 15-20% lateral shear, vertical shear and rotational movements.

Joint Opening

J & JP-Series Sealing Systems The J and JP-Series Sealing Systems include an extruded elastomeric profile and a highstrength, two-part epoxy-based structural adhesive. The product, when inserted into an expansion joint in a substrate, will seal the opening from the intrusion of water and debris. This unique design allows the seal to function under compression and in tension. The standard J-Series is used for parking garage applications, where normal and vertical movements are a design parameter. The JP-Series is designed for applications that are required to meet ADA guidelines and provide a smooth walking surface for pedestrians. In addition to architectural and parking garage projects, the J and JPSeries can also be used for bridge applications.

Physical Properties The seal profile is available in two specific designs. The profiles are extruded from high-quality polychloroprene (neoprene) material meeting ASTM D3542 with physical requirements as shown in Table 1.

Features and Benefits • Ease of Installation – J & JP

Seals have specially designed internal webbing to facilitate installation and do not require the use of a vacuum to collapse or inflate the seal for purpose of installation.

The adhesive is a high-strength, two-part modified epoxy-based material. It is 100% reactive and will develop a strong bond in approximately 24 hours at room temperature. For typical physical properties, see Table 2 below. Table 1 Physical Properties of the Neoprene Seal

Limitations

The J and JP-Series waterproofing capabilities are dependent on the internal forces generated while the seal is under compression. For this reason, it is very important that the proper seal size be selected from the Product Size and Movement Table found in this brochure.

CS/AF/AW Concourse Seals Delastic ® CS & AF preformed seals provide a level top surface that is particularly suited for pedestrian traffic. In the compressed state, the top sections are much closer together and form a level walking surface and a pleasing visual effect for exposed vertical applications. D.S. Brown concourse seals are designed for applications that are required to meet ADA guidelines. The seals are available in both polychloroprene and EPDM compounds.
