Delastic® Preformed
Compression Seals
In 1960 The D.S. Brown Company began designing and
extruding the first generation of Delastic ® Preformed Compression Seals. Since that time continuous improvements
have been made to this versatile, cost-effective joint sealing solution. To withstand the demanding requirements of
bridge/highway installations, all Delastic ® Preformed Compression Seals are extruded from high-quality polychloroprene (neoprene) compounds which satisfy the standard
specifications (ASTM D3542 and D2628) for Preformed
Elastomeric Joint Seals for Bridges and Pavements.
In addition to highway and bridge applications, Delastic ®
Compression Seals have also been used in spillways,
dams, parking structures, stadium ramps and pedestrian
overpasses. Information on additional seal designs is available.
Installation
In all installation applications, the joint width must be properly set for the specified Delastic ® seal. Also, the vertical
faces of the joint must be clean and free of spalled con-

crete. For proper performance, keep the lubricant-adhesive
above freezing (32oF).
Manual and automatic tools are available to facilitate installation. D.S. Brown DSB 1516 or DSB 1520 lubricant-adhesive is used primarily to lubricate the seal for installation
purposes. The DSB lube products meet ASTM D2835 and
D4070 standards respectively.
Design Data
The table below can be used to select the appropriate Delastic ® Compression Seal for your project. In addition to accommodating perpendicular movements (summarized in the table), Delastic® seals are also capable of accepting approximately 15-20%
lateral shear, vertical shear and rotational movements.

Joint Opening
J & JP-Series
Sealing Systems
The J and JP-Series Sealing Systems include
an extruded elastomeric profile and a highstrength, two-part epoxy-based structural adhesive. The product, when inserted into an
expansion joint in a substrate, will seal the
opening from the intrusion of water and debris.
This unique design allows the seal to function
under compression and in tension.
The standard J-Series is used for parking
garage applications, where normal and
vertical movements are a design parameter. The JP-Series is designed for applications that are required to meet ADA guidelines and provide a smooth walking surface
for pedestrians. In addition to architectural
and parking garage projects, the J and JPSeries can also be used for bridge applications.

Physical Properties
The seal profile is available in two specific designs. The profiles are extruded from high-quality polychloroprene (neoprene) material meeting
ASTM D3542 with physical requirements as shown in Table 1.
Features and Benefits
• Ease of Installation – J & JP
Seals have specially designed
internal webbing to facilitate
installation and do not require the use of a vacuum to
collapse or inflate the seal for
purpose of installation.
The adhesive is a high-strength, two-part modified epoxy-based
material. It is 100% reactive and will develop a strong bond in
approximately 24 hours at room temperature. For typical physical
properties, see Table 2 below.

• No Blockout Recess Required – The J and JP-Series
are a solid choice with the
precast concrete industry in
that no blockout recess is required. The seal profile can be
installed directly between the
joint interfaces.

Limitations
The J and JP-Series waterproofing capabilities are dependent on the
internal forces generated while the seal is under compression. For this
reason, it is very important that the proper seal size be selected from the

CS/AF/AW
Concourse Seals
Delastic ® CS & AF preformed seals provide
a level top surface that is particularly suited
for pedestrian traffic. In the compressed
state, the top sections are much closer
together and form a level walking surface
and a pleasing visual effect for exposed
vertical applications. D.S. Brown concourse
seals are designed for applications that are
required to meet ADA guidelines. The seals
are available in both polychloroprene and
EPDM compounds.

NSJ Sponge Joint Seals
D.S. Brown’s Neoprene Sponge Joint (NSJ) seals are preformed
and made from closed-cell neoprene expanded rubber. The
NSJ expansion joint seal is designed for small movement
expansion joint applications such as: small movement
bridge expansion joints, perimeter joints around buildings,
vertical wall applications and slab-to-wall conditions, exterior
columns, elevator shafts and stair towers. NSJ expansion joint
seals remain in contact with the joint walls through normal
compression and tension of their shape and are bonded to the
joint with a high quality epoxy-adhesive.

Matrix™ 502
System
The Matrix™ 502 Asphaltic
Expansion Joint is a hot-applied,
field-molded and constructed
expansion joint system that is
primarily composed of a uniquely

asphalt binder that is mixed with
specially selected and processed
aggregate.
Matrix™ 502 System
temperature
The Matrix™ 502 Asphaltic
Expansion Joint can be used
for both expansion and fixed
end joints at abutments or piers
in many bridge types including
concrete slab, concrete beam,
prestressed concrete and steel
beam, either simple or multi-span,
in both new construction and
rehabilitation projects.
The Matrix™ 502 Asphaltic
Expansion Joint provides a
watertight, smooth riding joint
that can accommodate up to a
maximum of ± 3/4" (19 mm) of
annual joint movement and can
be used for expansion joint gaps
up to 3" (75 mm) wide. The joint
is installed in cutouts in the deck
surface ranging from 2 to 6 inches
deep (5 to 15 cm) and 20 to 24
inches (51 to 61cm) wide.
