Jointflex® is a closed cell, cross linked, non-absobent polyethylene expansion joint fillerboard for use in expansion and isolation joints in concrete and masonry structures. Jointflex® is non-absorbent and has excellent properties allowing it to be used in water retaining and excluding structures where potable, salt, chlorine and sewerage water is present.

Jointflex® has no bitumen content and joint sealant can be directly applied on top of it without the use of bond-breaker tape. Jointflex® is available in standard 50kg/m3 (low) density and also available in custom densities of 100kg/m3 (medium) and 150kg/m3 (high).

Supplied in sheet form and at a thickness to suit the joint width or can be custom cut in sheet sizes to suit the concrete thickness or width. Also available upon request with a tear-off cap to suit the joint sealant application depth.

Advantages:

Non-absorbent
Lightweight
No bitumen contents
Ability to compress and recover
Non-extruding from joint movement
Suitable for submerged or trafficable joints
Durable

Areas of Application:

Slab on ground
Brickwork and blockwork
Reinforced concrete structures
Concrete roads and pavement
Suspended slabs
Basement and tunnels
Water retaining/excluding structures
Dams and reservoirs
Bridges and viaducts
Airport aprons and taxiways

Available Sizes:

Standard sheet size 2m (L) x 1m (W)
Density: 50kg/m3 (low), 100kg/m3 (medium) and 150km/m3 (high)
In thicknesses of 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25mm. Sizes from 3mm - 50mm are cut to order
Custom sizes available to suit
Available with a tear off cap for easy joint sealant installation

Note: the product's design and performance, its intended use, installation and final confirmation and approval for use, must be the project's Design Engineer and Project Manager.

Installation Procedures:

Jointflex® is cut to size from sheets with a sharp retractable blade and adhered to the first concrete structure by a contact adhesive. Adhesive is applied directly to the Jointflex® in 50mm diameter ‘spots’ @300mm centers (approximately) or as required. Also refer to our installation method, available upon request.

Written Specifications:

Where shown in the drawings, the expansion joint fillerboard shall be Jointflex®, closed cell/cross-linked polyethylene fillerboard material, with a minimum density of 50kg/m3, as supplied by Corkjoint. The application / installation of the product must be in accordance with the manufatcurer’s recommentations.
