+44 (0)1753 944200 Website

Application

  • Used to seal joints in podium decks, car parks, foot or road bridges, stadiums and sports arenas, shopping malls, airports, roofs and building façades.
  • May be recessed into the joint, with a sealant over.

Description

A nitrogen blown, impermeable, closed cell, cross linked Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymer foam, the product is waterproof and resistant to salts and most chemical attack. It also has good UV resistance and is therefore suitable for use in exposed exterior applications.


RIW MultiJoint has been designed for use in all types of construction gaps and movement joints to provide a waterproofing system between the structural elements. Movement capability of up to 90% of the construction gap is achieved, and the material is chemically bonded to each structure, maintaining the waterproofing of the joint.


The product has grooves along the bond surface that run the entire length of the joint, and these grooves increase the surface area and enhance the adhesion to the substrate.


The product is installed into joints using RIW MultiJoint Adhesive, a two part, solvent free, modified epoxy adhesive.


Features and benefits:

  • No special jointing pieces required.
  • Easily cut and welded on site.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes.
  • Resists up to 20 m head of water.


Compression stress-strain to BS ISO 7214:1998:

  • 10% = 30 kPa.
  • 25% = 51 kPa.
  • 40% = 82 kPa.
  • 50% = 115 kPa.
