Joint seal with body extensions
20200347590 · 2020-11-05 · ·

A system for creating a durable water-resistant seal in the joint between adjacent panels. A durable foam-based expansion seal system provides contacting surfaces which are not planar by inclusion of extensions or second bodies and which therefore provide localized areas of higher density.

Concrete expansion joint insert including a sealant on one edge

An illustrative example embodiment of a concrete joint insert includes a body having two ends, two longitudinal edges between the ends and two side surfaces between the longitudinal edges. A sealant is secured to one of the longitudinal edges so that the insert and the sealant can be simultaneously installed at the location of a concrete joint.

A foam-based expansion joint seal system packaging which facilitates transport and reduces the need for internal splices.

Fire and/or water resistant expansion and seismic joint system

An expansion joint system includes a cover plate; a spline attached to the cover plate; and foam having a fire retardant material included therein in an amount effective to pass testing mandated by UL 2079. The spline depends from the cover plate and is configured to be positioned in a gap between substrates such that the cover plate overlies the gap. The foam is compressible between a first face of the spline and one of the substrates and the foam is compressible between a second face of the spline and the other of the substrates, and the expansion joint system is configured to facilitate compression of the foam when installed between the substrates by repeatedly expanding and contracting to accommodate movement of the substrates; and the foam with the fire retardant material included therein is configured to pass the testing mandated by UL 2079.

The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant and fire-resistant foam-based seal in the joint between adjacent panels. An expansion joint seal, which may be fire-resistant and/or water-resistant, is provided which includes one or more body members, a fire retardant member, which may be of an intumescent member, interspersed within the body member or members, a plurality of resilient members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance, and a connector of at least two of the resilient members, which connect each of the resilient members to a cover plant or may connect the two resilient members to one another.

Structural attachment sealing system
10781587 · 2020-09-22 · ·

In various representative aspects, the present invention relates generally to a system and apparatuses for sealing a structural attachment to a flat or shingle roof. More specifically, the invention relates to providing the system for sealing structural attachments for solar panel mounts for rail guides. The invention utilizes an adhesive sealant to create a permanent watertight seal at any surface penetration. The system may be used for any structural attachment, fastener, mount, or other penetration that requires sealing. Typical building applications include roof penetrations and wall penetrations for cases such as roof vents, structural attachment, conduit or pipe penetrations, or electrical mounts to name a few.
