Dilat^®: Mechanical protection system for expansion joints

Purpose

Dilat^® 40/60 is a mechanical protection system for expansion joints to waterproof car parks with asphalt or covered tread.

The effectiveness of the sealing depends on the manufacturing of the expansion joints sealing complex.

Dilat^® aims to ensure a confortable mechanical durability, and making it tread resistant for vehicles.

Suitable uses

This mechanical expansion joint protection system ensures the expansion points are sealed and absorb the effects of expansion. 

This system is usable for roofs, terraces and flooring accessed by vehicles (at a speed lower than 20kph) and pedestrians. 
It is made for joints with movement ≤ 20 mm in traction, compression, shearing or compaction.

Dilat^® is suitable for waterproof car parks with asphalt or covered tread, of :

• roof-terraces accessed by light vehicles
• roof-terraces accessed by heavy vehicles
• interiors accessed by light/heavy vehicles

Technical description
