“Elastomeric rubber is the unsung hero of many expansion joint systems. Its flexibility and sealing properties make it ideal for absorbing movement and preventing water ingress. Whether in compression seals, strip seals, or modular joints, elastomers ensure performance and longevity.”
A flexible, durable material (e.g., neoprene, EPDM)
- Resistant to weather, UV, and moderate chemicals
- Where It’s Used:
- Compression Seal Joints – pre-compressed rubber seals
- Strip Seal Joints – central elastomeric strip
- Modular Joints – elastomeric seals between steel beams
- Key Properties:
- High elasticity and resilience
- Excellent water sealing
- Absorbs vibration and accommodates movement
