Rubber expansion joints - Expansion joints - Alga Flex-T
The Algaflex T is a waterproof expansion joint and allows absorption of the deck movements between 30mm and 330 mm. This joint is manufactured with rubber elements with different dimensions according to the requirement.
The joint elements are connected by a tongue and a groove connection and are connected to the structure by proper anchor bolts. The reinforcing metal profile made of steel is completely inserted and vulcanised to the rubber so that it is protected against corrosion.
The rubber compound, has been formulated to resist oil, grease, petrol, salt and sand, without, suffering premature ageing phenomena due to sun rays, salt and snow.
Though the relevant movements allowed are the longitudinal ones, the Algaflex T joints are also able to compensate for height differences or vertical and transversal movements. This characteristic is very important in all the cases where load and movement conditions can cause relative movements.
