    Construction

    Description The SIKA Expansion Joint Filler Board is designed as a low cost, preformed
    Expansion Joint Filler Board for joints in concrete highways, paving curbs, gutter,
    floors and in all concrete buildings and brick structures. It is manufactured from
    high grade wood fibres which are bitumen impregnated and compounded into a
    compressible non extruding board. Its compressibility and resilience enables it to
    perform under pressure, and recovers to more than 75% of its original dimension
    when pressure is removed.
    Uses n The SIKA Expansion Joint Filler is installed against existing concrete at columns
    and against adjacent structures or flat work before the placement of the
    subsequent concrete.
    n For floors, pavings and runways it is installed ½ “ below the elevation of the
    concrete surface when the joint is to be filled later to the surface elevation with a
    proper sealant.
    n If using a polysulphide type sealant, use a masking tape (polyethylene tape) to
    separate the expansion joint filler from the sealant.

    Physical Properties Sika Expansion Joint Filler conforms with the physical requirements of:
    n ANSI/ASTM D 1751-73/ D-545-77 Specification for Concrete Paving and
    Structural Construction (Non Extruding and Resilient Bituminous Type).
