XJS® Polymer Nosed Expansion Joint System
Applications
The SSI / GRANOR XJS® Expansion Joint System is a revolutionary new concept in expansion joint construction and rehabilitation, combining a tough, impact resistant wear resistant polymer joint nosing and a rapid two part cure joint sealing system with high movement capacity. The total expansion joint system, which is cold applied with minimum specialised equipment, is specifically designed to provide a watertight, chemically resistant seal to accommodate high traffic loads and to remain pliable in cold and warm temperatures.
An important feature is that the two component silicone sealant in the system will readily bond to itself. This is ideal formaintenance applications where only one traffic lane can be closed at a time, but particularly where a continuous seal is requiredbetween adjacent lanes when they are eventually rehabilitated. The rapid curing ability of the total X.J.S.® system makes it an excellent choice for highways, bridges, airfields, parking decks and other high volume traffic areas that require short closure times.
Installation to completion during non peak hour traffic time is possible, thus helping to avoid frustrating traffic backups and costly overtime. The XJS® system is cost competitive, easily repairable if needed. Reconstruction of failed expansion joint systems, at a fraction of the cost of conventional joint repair alternatives is achieved by use of the XJS® Expansion Joint System.
