SPARK SPONGE RUBBER FILLER

(EXPANSION JOINT FILLER)

SPECIFICATION Conforms to ASTM D-1752 TYPE I: AASHTO M-153 TYPE I and CORPS
OF ENGINEERS CRD C-509 TYPE I

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SPARK SPONGE RUBBER FILLER is a black colored material which
blends well with concrete. It is composed of a high quality blown
sponge rubber of uniform thickness and density. It is highly resistant
to water absorption and has a density of not less than 40 pound per
cubic foot. The main raw material used is polychloroprene rubber.
SPARK SPONGE RUBBER FILLER is used in concrete structures where
high resilience is required or where a color blend with concrete is
desired. It is readily compressible with a recovery of 95% or more of
the original thickness. Because of its recovery quality, it is frequently
used on “Bridge Structures” and “Sewage Treatment Plants” that
undergo rapid changes in temperature.

AREAS OF APPLICATION Excellent as an expansion joint material for driveways aprons,

sidewalks, curbs and gutters.

Excellent as filler in structural joints such as abutments, piers,

retaining walls, plain or reinforced concrete structures.

Excellent as an expansion joint material in highways, airports,

runways and streets
