Technical support

Cellflex: 6/1997

Parbury Technologies offers a comprehensive range of high

performance, high quality construction products. Parbury
Technologies offers a technical support package to
specifiers and contractors as well as on-site technical
advice.

Where used to form an expansion joint in in-situ concrete,

Cellflex shall be placed against the shuttering on the
concreting side before the pour begins. Copper nails may be
used to prevent displacement in joints in suspended slabs.
Alternatively, Cellflex may be bonded to the existing slab or
previous pour using a suitable adhesive such as Plastiseal
or Construction Adhesive.

Limitations

Additional information

Cellflex must not be used in joints where any subsequent

joint sealant is other than bitumen based. The mobile
fractions of the bitumen in Cellflex are likely to degrade
elastomeric sealants.

As well as joint sealants and ancillary products, Fosroc also

manufactures a wide range of complementary products
which include waterstops, waterproofing membranes,
grouting, anchoring and specialised flooring materials. In
addition, a wide range of products specifically designed for
the repair and refurbishment of damaged reinforced
concrete is available. This includes hand-placed and spray
grade repair mortars, fluid micro-concretes, chemicalresistant epoxy mortars and a comprehensive package of
protective coatings.
