Precompressed polyurethane microcell foam, impregnated with a hydrophobic polymer compound that is UV stable and chemically resistant. The exposed surface is coated with a colorized, silicone coating. When installed in a properly sized joint, BCSF forms a watertight, dust-proof, airtight, soundproof insulated seal. It is permanently resilient and will expand and contract with the movement of the joint under any weather condition. BCSF is supplied in precompressed, self-adhesive rolls or stick form.
IDEAL FOR:
- Applications where a narrow, recessed and colorable joint cover is preferred for blending with interior finishes
- Expansion joints in post-tension concrete and other applications where mechanical fasteners are impractical or not permitted
- Watertight applications
- Above grade applications
- Exterior slabs
ADVANTAGES:
- Ease of installation
- Excellent compression recovery
- Excellent resistance to mildew and UV
- Does not require mechanical fasteners
- Not based on asphaltic or bitumastic impregnation
- Conforms to joint irregularities, provided they are not sudden or extreme.
