Miothene is a closed cell expanded polyethylene foam fillerboard that is tough and versatile which provides a rot proof, non absorbent, and non extruding fillerboard. It has low load transfer properties and is resistant to attack from most acids and alkalis.
What is Flexcell?
Flexcell is a bitumen impregnated wood fibre board, which is ideal for use as an expansion joint filler. It offers excellent compressive and recovery properties. It is simple to handle and install. It is used when concreting areas and requiring expansion joint.
What is a compressible filler?
Joint filler is a material that is used between two sections of concrete, which in contrast to concrete, is a relatively compressible material so that it will not fail as the concrete around it grows and shrinks due to temperature changes or movement.
Who makes Flexcell?
Quintus Technologies introduces the Flexcell™ concept, a solution dedicated to efficient low volume sheet metal fabrication. The system takes advantage of the high pressure Flexform technology, using only one rigid tool half, the other tool-half being a flexible rubber diaphragm, backed up by hydraulic oil pressure.
What is isolation joint?
An isolation joint is a separation between adjacent sections of a concrete structure to allow relative movement in three directions and through which all of the bonded reinforcement is interrupted.
What is Deck-O-foam used for?
DECK-O-FOAM is ideal for use as an expansion, contraction, and/or isolation joint in swimming pool decks, curb and gutter work, floor slabs, pavement patch repair, sidewalks, driveways, plazas, parking decks, highways, and airport runways. Pre-scored strip is easily removed. Economical alternative to expansion joints.
Should expansion joints be filled?
Just remember that expansion joints should always be sealed and filled with a flexible joint sealer and never be epoxied or coated over. Contraction joints can be filled in the same manner after a coating or sealer is applied.
What can I use for expansion joints?
There are two types of expansion joint filler, foam and fibreboard. When working with concrete you should use fibreboard, which offers flexibility across the surface of concrete, allowing movement that will prevent cracking.
Why are bridges built with expansion joints?
Designed to span gaps between structural elements, expansion joints are necessary to absorb movement, accommodate shrinkage and creep effects and changes in temperature on reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete and steel structures, and particularly on bridge decks.
Which joint has no movement?
Fibrous joints
Fibrous joints – the bones of fibrous joints are joined by fibrous tissue, such as the sutures in the skull or the pelvis. Fibrous joints allow no movement at all. 2.
What is miothene foam?
Miothene Closed cell polyethylene foam for use as a joint filler, joint forme, non-load transfer filler, grout check, Stop-end, insulant and many other applications. MIOTHENE is compressible yet semi-rigid, strong and non-absorbent. Its is produced in various densities, the most widely used is standard miothene.
What is miothene used for in construction?
Expansion Joints Miothene used to form expansion joints in concrete slabs and brickwork. Miothene remains in the joint and reduces compressive stress.
What is miothene joint filler made of?
20mm & 25mm Miothene Joint Filler comes in 20 metre packs A fast efficient, cost effective joint filler for all brick and concrete expansion joints. Miothene is a closed cell expanded polyethylene foam fillerboard that is tough and versatile which provides a rot proof, non absorbent, and non extruding fillerboard.
What are the properties of mimiothene?
MIOTHENE is compressible yet semi-rigid, strong and non-absorbent. Its is produced in various densities, the most widely used is standard miothene. Its is Light, clean and easy to use. It can be stuck to all normal building surfaces.
