Silicoflex Joint Sealing System
Product Features
GSI Highway Products is the exclusive Texas Distributor of RJ Watson’s innovative Sealed Expansion Joint system, the Silicoflex Joint Sealing System. Silicoflex was developed out of the need for a joint sealing system that was easy to install and offered a long, effective sealing life.
Silicoflex consists of an inverted ‘V’ shaped, performed, extruded silicone rubber seal, with a single component silicone locking adhesive and primer. Two beads of silicone locking adhesive are used; one above and below the silicone rubber seal to ensure a tenacious, water-tight and continuous seal.
