TECH-DATA - A.P.S. STANDARD CORK EXPANSION JOINT FILLER MATERIAL

DESCRIPTION

Cork Expansion Joint Filler is preformed from clean, granulated cork particles, bonded together with an insoluble phenolic resin and molded under heat and pressure. The resultant material is strong, light in weight, flexible, acid-resistant and waterproof. Cork will not extrude when compressed up to 50 percent of its original thickness, and regains up to 95 percent as joint expansion takes place.

USE

Cork Expansion Joint Filler is used for all types of concrete construction where the filler must be compatible with polymer-base sealants. Cork is widely used in commercial and industrial construction.
ADVANTAGES

Light in color.

Can be compressed without extrusion.

Recovers to approximately 95% of original thickness after compression.

Compatible with polymer-base joint sealants.

CONFORMANCE

ASTM D1752, Type II
AASHTO M153, Type II

APS currently has state approvals in most states for many of our manufactured products. Our products have been sold in every state in the country and we have well over 100 distributors nationwide.

TECH-DATA - A.P.S. FIBER BOARD MATERIAL

DESCRIPTION

A.P.S. Fiber Board is composed of asphalt impregnated fibers that are bonded together to produce a compressible, resilient, non-extruding concrete expansion Joint filler. It is readily compressible and will recover to more than 75% of its original thickness.

USE

A.P.S. Fiber Board is an ideal expansion Joint in highways, pavements, runways, sidewalks, and in all concrete or block structures. While offering excellent non-extrusion and recovery properties, A.P.S. Fiber Board should be protected from water infiltration and weathering with a suitable joint sealant.

APPLICATION

A.P.S. Fiber Board should be installed against the forms or other abutting structures, as detailed on the plans, before placing concrete. The filler should be installed 1/2" below the concrete surface and sealed with a high quality joint sealing compound to protect from water infiltration and weathering. However, a backer rod or bond breaker tape should be installed over the joint filler to prevent the sealant from bonding to the filler.

TECH-DATA - A.P.S. CLOSED CELL POLY FOAM

DESCRIPTION

A.P.S. Closed Cell Poly Foam is an expanded polyethelene, flexible foam expansion joint filler available in white or black. It is highly resistant to most solvents and chemicals. A.P.S. Closed Cell Poly Foam is light in weight and easy to use on the jobsite.

USE

A.P.S. Closed Cell Poly Foam can be used in any application requiring an expansion joint in concrete or masonry. Because of its flexibility, Closed Cell Poly Foam can easily be wrapped around columns as an isolation joint. A.P.S. Closed Cell Poly Foam makes an excellent sealant back-up material and cuts easily to size on the jobsite with a utility knife.
Available with tear-off strip.
