DESCRIPTION
PROFLEX 200 HA comprises a durable UV stable
preformed flexible low density closed cell, cross
linked, ethylene, vinyl acetate, polyethylene,
copolymer that is supplied in a variety of widths to
accommodate different movement capacities.
The seal is bonded to the adjacent steel rails or
PRO-CRETE elastomeric concrete with a specially
formulated adhesive SERVA BOND #1.
Note that the UK Highways Agency restricts the final
width of opening after the total expansion movement
has taken place to 65 mm. On non - Highway Agency
contracts it is acceptable to allow the seal to expand
to greater widths. Please consult Expansion Control
Systems International for further information.
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
STORAGE
PROFLEX 200 HA components should be stored
under cover and clear of the ground. Material should
not be allowed to freeze. Storage conditions should
be dry, above 5 C and below 30 C. Shelf life of
unopened material is 12 months.
INSTALLATION METHOD
1. Once the asphalt has been removed the concrete
substrate and the vertical faces of the asphalt
within the block out should be grit blasted to
remove loose particles and contamination. Clean
the block out with compressed air ensuring that
the air is not contaminated. (It is recommended
that an oil filter be fitted to the air line).
2. Suspend the steel angles into the centre of the
block out using the special supports and set to
the desired gap width and adjust to the level of
the surfacing.
3. Weld each length of steel angle together to
ensure continuous construction.
4. Install a central shutter between the angles and
ensure that it fits into the bridge gap.
5. Clean out the block out area once again.
6. Tape the top of the steel angle and the edge of
the surfacing to provide a neat clean finish for the
Procrete.
7. Mix the Pro-Primer two components together and
apply the primer to the vertical face of the asphalt
and all steel surfaces which are intended to come
into contact with the Procrete mortar
8. Mix and place Procrete in accordance with the
manufacture's recommendations ensuring that
the material is well compacted beneath the top
face of the steel angle. Trowel to a final flush
finish.
9. Allow the Procrete to cure. Acceleration of the
cure can be carried out by tenting the area above
the joint and introducing hot air into the tent.
Ensure that the hot air is not directly directed
onto the Procrete mortar.
10. Prior to final cure and once the material has
begun to set release the rails partially from the
support. This is to allow the bridge deck to move
without creating any stresses within the Procrete
mortar during cure.
11. After final cure remove the supports and central
shutter and clean the gap.
12. Grit blast the inner face of the steel angle
13. Stir the Serva Bond #1 components thoroughly
and mix together in a clean container using a
slow speed 400 rpm drill and jiffy mixer paddle.
14. Apply the adhesive to the vertical face of the
steel and the vertical face of the seal material.

15. With gloved hand compress the EVAZOTE and
push into the joint recess until it is recessed 2mm
below the top face of the steel.
16. Care should be taken to ensure that the pressure
exerted is in a downward direction only. Pressing
the joint material at an angle may stretch the
material and prevent if from performing as
detailed in the design chart.
17. Clean and remove any excess adhesive.
18. The joint may be opened up to traffic
immediately.
CLEANING OF TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
Tools and equipment may be cleaned using a solvent
cleaner such as xylene.
