ALADIN

Multi-Directional Structural Sealing Joint System

DESCRIPTION
ALADIN is a structural sealing joint system comprised of an elastomeric profile, which is air-pressurized and bonded in place with a specially formulated epoxy adhesive. When properly installed, the high performance ALADIN joint system will not tear away, protrude out of, or slip from its original position when exposed to repeated mechanical or thermal movements. Complete adhesion of the epoxy to the profile and joint wall is achieved due to the air inflation during installation. ALADIN is the most durable, versatile, cost-effective, and watertight expansion joint in the industry. Two different types of ALADIN profile are available and each is available in a range of sizes to meet particular project requirements: W-type profiles with +50% movement capability are used for dynamic movement on roads, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, car park structures and water management applications. FW-type profiles with +35% movement capability are used for movement applications that require a flush-tofinish system, for example, pedestrian traffic areas, industrial buildings, airport terminals and car park structures, but are also suitable for most W-type profile applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Versatility Conform to vertical and horizontal directional changes, T-intersections, and varied gap dimensions. Fabricated on site to suit site conditions. Bonds directly to concrete or steel if required. Accommodates differential, rotational and shear movements. Rapid installation Designed to facilitate rapid return to service by means of pressurization. By minimizing downtime and improving productivity, structure can be fully operational in record time. Unique Design Engineered from durable Elastomeric material, ALADIN profiles have outstanding resistance to degradation from ozone, weathering, oils, and most other chemicals. The sidewall ribs maximize the available epoxy adhesive surface bond area. A twocomponent, solvent less, non-sag epoxy adhesive is provided to ensure a tenacious bond between the profile and concrete, steel, or Wabo Crete II. Inflation during installation ensures a completely watertight system.

RECOMMENDED FOR
Sealing joints in elevated highways, stadiums, tunnels, and other engineered structures. Expansion joints requiring multidirectional movement of the structure without joint system failure. Linear, angular, or circular expansion joint applications. Parking Structures requiring a watertight system.

PACKAGING
ALADIN Elastomeric profiles are supplied in lengths to suit project requirements and can be supplied in continuous lengths up to 150 meter. Wabo Paste Adhesive is available in standard or cold weather grades and is supplied pre-packed in plastic containers as a complete unit. The cold weather grade comprises 0.9 kg of Part 1(adhesive base) and 0.9 kg of Part 2 (activator); the standard grade comprises 0.9 kg of Part 1 (adhesive base) and 0.45 kg of Part 2 (activator). Wabo profile glue is supplied in 50 g. plastic tubes. Wabo conditioning agent is supplied in 0.95 litre plastic containers. Wabo concrete cleaner is supplied in 0.95 litre tins.

LIMITATION AND STORAGE

LIMITATIONS: Profile installation in warm temperatures requires a deflation technique. Joint gap openings must be consistent. Oversized profiles may be required where installation temperature is significantly below the median. Protect the product from construction activities. STORAGE: ALADIN Elastomeric profiles should be stored by coiling without kinking or laid in lengths without deformation. ALADIN and its accessories should be kept free from contamination prior to installation as contaminant may impair the performance of products such as Wabo Paste Adhesive and profile glue. Wabo Paste Adhesive, profile glue and conditioning agents should be stored under cover, protected from direct sunlight and clear of the ground. Storage conditions should be dry, above 5C and below 28C. Under normal storage conditions the shelf life of Wabo Paste Adhesive, profile glue and conditioning agents in unopened containers is minimum 12 months.
