FIBER EXPANSION JOINT MULTI-FUNCTION JOINT FILLER

DESCRIPTION: BVS FIBER Expansion Joint is composed of cellular fibers securely bonded together and uniformly saturated with asphalt by a special patented process (Patent No. 4,364,975) to assure longevity. Wherever cost-effective joint filler is required, BVS FIBER Expansion Joint meets the need. Fiber Expansion Joint is versatile, resilient, flexible and non-extruding. When compressed to half of its original thickness, it will recover to a minimum of 70% of its original thickness. BVS FIBER will not deform, twist or break with normal on-the-job handling. The purchase and installation of Fiber Expansion Joint may represent a small segment of a project’s total cost. However, top-quality BVS FIBER Expansion Joint can contribute to both the final cost efficiency and functional success in far greater proportion than its original cost. Breakage, waste and functional failure resulting from the use of inferior, foreign fiber materials can cost you time, dollars and result in a substandard finished job...thereby, generating costly callbacks and re-work expenses.

USES: BVS FIBER Expansion Joint is ideal for use on highways, streets, airport runways, sidewalks, driveways, flatwork and scores of commercial and industrial applications subject to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Install ½" (12.7 mm) below the concrete surface and seal with BVS Polymeric Sealants for maximum protection from water infiltration, weathering and to assure proper function.
