Multi-faced, silicone-coated, precompressed, primary seal in structural, high-movement joints in virtually any substrate.
For vertical-plane joint-gaps from 12mm to 300m.
COLORSEAL has total 50% movement capability
(±25% of nominal supplied size).
SEISMIC COLORSEAL has total 100% movement capability (±50% of nominal supplied size).
Twelve standard colours
Non-invasive anchoring, thermally insulating, air-tight, water-tight, aesthetically and practically versatile
SEISMIC COLORSEAL DS is a unique, highly innovative, customized variation of EMSEAL's acclaimed SEISMIC COLORSEAL material.
Ideally suited for shallow substrates where sealing or finishing of both sides of the structure is desired.
Ensures watertightness in vertical and horizontal structural, seismic, and abutment joints in walls of precast concrete, brick, curtain-wall, stone, and virtually any other substrate.
Provides considerable sound attenuation as a joint filler in interior demising walls, partitions or in sound studios, performance halls, broadcast booths, etc. A concrete wall with an expansion joint through it can be restored to the virtually the same sound transmission coefficient as the solid wall without a joint.
Backpressure from the stored strain energy of the foam maintains seal and ensures that silicone bellows is never under tension from the effects of joint movement.
SEISMIC COLORSEAL DS has an R-value of approximately 3.28 per inch of depth which imparts thermal insulation at structural joint-gaps where thermal loss through strip-seals is often significant.
Unlike imitations which must be forced into compression in the field, SEISMIC COLORSEAL DS is supplied pre-compressed to smaller than the joint size. This means that neither the bellows nor the corner bead are in tension during joint opening movement.
SEISMIC COLORSEAL DS features non-invasive anchoring which means you are not drilling and screwing into sensitive substrates. This eliminates the risk of spalls and enables installation into inside corners that are impossible to seal with strip-seals.
The expanding foam backing is acrylic-impregnated open-cell foam combined with laminations of closed-cell foam in some size configurations.
SEISMIC COLORSEAL DS has a mounting adhesive on one face. After removal from its packaging, the material is inserted into the joint and adhered to one side. It then expands to fill the joint. The combination of the active backpressure and the pressure-sensitive nature of the acrylic impregnation ensures the attachment of the foam to the other substrate. Field installed silicone sealant corner bands assure further attachment of the precured silicone bellows to the substrate.
100% free of wax or asphalt compounds (Why does this matter?)
