COLOURSEAL 'H' -  a silicone faced pre-compressed expanding foam tape joint sealant  for horizontal joints

Replacement for traditional wet sealants
COLOURSEAL 'H' Applications:

As a horizontal watertight seal in joints including:

  • Decks: structural joints, perimeter joints, isolation joints at stair towers, lift shafts.
  • Joints subject to thermal or differential movement
  • Parapets, roofs
  • Back-up seal beneath expansion joint cover assemblies
  • For aesthetically compatible transitions to joints in the vertical plane
  • Joints subject to high movement
  • COLOURSEAL 'H' has a movement capability of up to +/- 50% of the mean joint size.

    • For vertical joints see data for COLOURSEAL

     
    Product Information   Advantages
    • COLOURSEAL 'H' combines a factory-applied low-modulus silicone, acrylic impregnated expanding foam sealant and closed-cell (EVA) foam into a unified binary sealant system


      •  
    • A factory applied butyl-adhesive tape (or field-applied epoxy adhesive) on each side, and a field-applied silicone corner-bead between the silicone "bellows" sealing element and the substrates.

    • The expanding foam laminations are Flowseal - an open-cell polyurethane foam impregnated with a water-based, stabilised, polymer-modified acrylic

    • The silicone external and colour weather facing is factory-applied to the foam while it is partially pre-compressed. The silicone is then cured and when finally compressed, a bellows is formed in the coating. The bellows virtually eliminates tensile stresses at the silicone/substrate interface 

    • Puncturing of the silicone facing does not affect the seal integrity 

    • COLOURSEAL 'H' is supplied shrink-wrapped and pre-compressed in 2 metre lengths 

    • Choice of 4 standard colours (black, grey, white, & brick), with further choice of 7 non-standard colours 

    • Suitable for joint sizes 20mm - 150mm (others available) 

    • High movement capabilities: +/- 50% of nominal joint width

    • Non-invasive anchoring and sealing against the substrate is achieved through a combination of the back-pressure caused by the stored strain energy of compression in the foam

    		  
    • Joint movement capability of up to +/-50% of nominal joint width

    • Features the UV resistance, durability and the impermeability of silicone

    • Virtually eliminates tensile stresses at bond line and adverse effects of movement occurring before field applied silicone cures

    • Reduced installation, labour and material charges

    • Less reliant on meticulous substrate preparation

    • Seal integrity maintained if silicone is punctured

    • Both mechanically and chemically anchored through back-pressure inherent in the permanently elastic open-cell foam and the adhesion of the butyl (or epoxy) adhesive and through the field-applied silicone corner bead

    • Easy to install

      NOTE:
    Metal cover plates must be installed above COLORSEAL 'H' where spiked-high-heel pedestrian traffic, or other high-point-load/small-contact-surface area loads are anticipated.
