RANSJOINT-FILLER
(As Per Is 1838/1983) (Part-1)
OVERVIEW
Roads and runways constructed with cement concrete need special treatment. The slabs are cast-in-situ with dummy joints at short intervals while contraction and expansion joints at large suitable spacing’s to allow for free movement of concrete slabs during expansion and contraction in hot & cold weather and to prevent slabs from haphazard cracking.These joints need to be properly attended to take care of ingress of water during rainy season and to prevent the entry of foreign matters-restricting free movement of the slabs.
RANSJOINT-FILLER is a fibre board impregnated with bituminous materials. This process of Bituminizing renders the Board durable and waterproof. It is compressible and possesses a high degree of recovery after compression is released which ensures that no free space develops in expansion joints.The material allows the joints to expand in summers and contract in winters without damaging the concrete slab.
PROPERTIES
- Easy to handle, cut and tamp
- Resilient
- Will not extrude under compression
AREAS OF USE
RANSJOINT-FILLER is suitable for forming joints between in-situ and pre-cast concrete construction.
Forming structural expansion and separation joints in:
Concrete pavements and floors
Roads, ramps and runways
Pedestrian areas
Concrete retaining walls and bridges
Concrete basement structures and subways
It is filled in concrete joints in Bridges, Roofs and other concrete structures for easy expansion and contraction of the concrete slabs. It is also, used in foundation for installing machinery where vibrations are experienced.
HEALTHY & SAFETY
Avoid prolonged contact with eyes and skin. For detailed information refer to relevant material safety data sheet.
