Polyseal IP-EK
Polyseal IP-EK
EPDM based box profiles for compression sealing of construction and expansion joint
Properties
- Polyseal IP-EK is used for the sealing of expansion and construction joints and as a joint completion profile.
- Due to its high quality EPDM formulation Polyseal IP-EK profiles are chemically resistant against de-icing salt, fuels, lubricants, UV radiation and ozone.
- The pre-stressed POLYSEAL IP-EK profile, that is bonded with POLYSEAL PP, absorbs cross, longitudinal and vertical movements of a building construction. the special inner ribbing facilitates permanent shape stability of the profile in any position.
Description
Polyseal IP-EK box profiles are compression seals of various sizes based on epdm (ethylene propylene dien monomer). Polyseal IP-EK is used for the sealing of expansion and construction joints and as a joint completion profile.

Application
Polyseal IP-EK compression profiles can be installed directly into the properly prepared joint if there is no mechanical stress on the joint edges. The joints are milled in parallel to the depth that is required for the chosen profile size, if the joints have not already been prepared in the formwork of a new building. There should be no cracks, breaks, or severe unevenness. Polyseal IP-EK is installed by pressing the profile into the joint whose flanks have already been prepared with an adhesive and sealing compound layer of Polyseal PP of approx. 1-2 mm. In case of highly absorbent substrates prime with Polyinject EP. The pastelike consistency of the adhesive results in a sliding effect that facilitates the profile installation. Please take care that the compression seal is not stretched or excessively compressed lengthwise to the joint. Under no circumstances may it be twisted.
A robust edge protection is required if there is any mechanical stress on the joint edges, e.g. in traffic areas. pc mortar, out of the polycrete range of products can be used to achieve such an adequate edge protection.
