FACADE AND ABUTMENT JOINTS
CAD - TECH DATA - INSTALL DATA - SPECS
USES: Curtainwall, New-To-Existing, Skywalks, Seismic, Masonry,
Metal Panels, etc
„ A binary (integrated primary plus secondary) seal
„ Ideally suited to EIFS, curtainwall and metal cladding systems, as well as
concrete, brick, stone, etc
„ Combines factory-applied and cured silicone facing with permanently elastic
acrylic-impregnated open-cell foam sealant backing
„ Minor puncturing of silicone facing does not affect sealant system performance
„ Back pressure maintains seal and ensures that silicone is virtually never under
tension
„ Supplied pre-compressed to smaller than joint size with self-adhesive on one
face, material is inserted into joint and adhered to one side. It then expands to
seal the joint. Addition in the field of a silicone corner bead ensures sealing
between the silicone facing and substrate
„ Standard sizes from 10" (8 mm) to 10" (250 mm)
„ Sizes up to 3/4" (20 mm) have single convex facing
„ Sizes from 1" (25 mm) and bigger have multiple bellows facing
„ COLORSEAL movement capability +25%, -25% (50% total)
„ SEISMIC COLORSEAL movement capability +50%, -50% (100% total)
USES: Masonry Walls, New to Existing, Shadow Lines
„ Long-term, high-performance seal for above-grade wall joints in concrete, brick,
stone, etc. where black reveal or shadow-line effect is desired
„ Permanently elastic, high-density, open-cell polyurethane foam, impregnated with
water-based, polymer-modified asphalt, compressed to approximately 25% of its
uncompressed dimension
„ Supplied pre-compressed to smaller than joint size with additional self-adhesive
on one face to aid installation. Material is inserted into the joint and adhered to
one side. It then expands to seal the joint
„ Sealing between the foam and substrate is achieved through a combination of the
pressure-sensitive adhesive impregnation and the back pressure of the expanding
foam
„ Material is installed flush or near to the surface as a primary seal
„ Standard sizes from 1/8" (3 mm) to 6" (150 mm)
„ Movement capability is +25%, -25% (50% total) of nominal material size
„ Joints in below-grade foundation walls utilize the higher-density 20H SYSTEM
USES: Wall, Doors, Windows, Panels, Control Joints, etc
„ An economical, high-performance expanding foam secondary sealant to fieldapplied liquid sealant
„ Ideally suited to EIFS, as well as concrete, brick, stone, etc
„ Consists of acrylic-impregnated open-cell foam material combined with
laminations of closed-cell EVA foam in sizes over 3/8” (10 mm)
„ Non-staining and compatible with a wide range of caulking materials
„ Minor puncturing of caulked facing does not effect sealant system performance
„ Supplied pre-compressed to smaller than joint size with self-adhesive on one
face. Material is inserted into joint and adhered to one side. It then expands to
seal the joint
„ Sealing between the foam and substrate is achieved through a combination of the
pressure-sensitive adhesive impregnation and the back pressure of the expanding
foam
„ Standard sizes from 1/8" (3 mm) to 6" (150 mm)
„ +25%, -25% (50% total) movement - permanently elastic

joints, sidewalks, aprons, joints at utility rooms, parapets, belowgrade foundation wall joints, icefloors etc
„ Economical, resilient, traffic-durable seal
„ System consists of 20H foam, epoxy adhesive & topcoat
„ Permanently elastic, high density, open-cell polyurethane foam, impregnated with
water-based, polymer-modified asphalt, compressed to approximately 20% of its
uncompressed dimension
„ Supplied pre-compressed to smaller than mean joint size, installed flush with, or
near to, surface into wet epoxy adhesive, the material expands to seal the joint
„ Exposed top surface is treated with Topcoat flexible coating to enhance sealing
and durability
All EMSEAL deck and floor joint systems can be fire-rated and are ADA compliant - Contact EMSEAL.
