Pavement Series
Preformed Elastomeric Joint Seal
DESCRIPTION:
Wabo®CompressionSeal pavement series is a pre-
formed elastic joint seal designed for concrete pave-
ments. Manufactured of neoprene and installed with
a lubricant adhesive, it is highly resistant to deteriora-
tion from exposure to weather, sunlight, oils, and im-
pact. One of the major causes of pavement blow-up
is the entrance of incompressibles entering into the
jointing systems. Wabo®CompressionSeals pave-
ment series are designed with an internal elastomeric
cross-sectional web design that allows the pavement
to expand and contract during temperature changes.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
FEATURES/BENEFITS:
• Sealing joints for concrete pavement slabs
• Unique Design • Primarily used in concrete roadways, airport run-
The Wabo®CompressionSeal configuration main- ways, and aprons
tains sidewall pressure against the joint allowing • Expansion joint applications with maximum move-
uniform contact to achieve a watertight joint ments less than 1 inch
• Material Composition
Wabo®CompressionSeals are manufactured of
high-quality neoprene and are therefore highly
resistant to jet fuels, weather extremes, and high
impacts.
• Ease of Installation
The lubricant adhesive facilitates the
Wabo®CompressionSeals pavement series in-
stallation process and provides a vehicle to give
intimate contact with the joint wall by filling minor
voids in the joint interfaces.
TYPICAL DETAIL:
The degree of slab movement and
actual joint width should be known
before the appropriate sized
Wabo®CompressionSeal pavement
series can be selected. Any varia-
tion in joint openings as well as
creep and shrinkage should also be
considered.
