Product Description COLORSEAL is a pre-compressed--primary plus secondary seal ideally suited to curtainwall and metal cladding systems, as well as concrete, brick, stone, precast, EIFS, etc. Microsphere-modified-acrylic-impregnated foam sealant, factory pre-coated with high-grade silicone. Watertight, odorless, clean handling, UV stable, non-staining, low temperature flexible, high-temperature stable. COLORSEAL combines a factory-applied and cured silicone bellows with a microsphere-modified acrylic-impregnated expanding foam sealant backing.
COLORSEAL features EMSEAL’s patented microsphere-modified acrylic
impregnation infused into a cellular foam base material and is coated
with a high-grade silicone coating that has been tested for durability
under continuous immersion in chlorinated, saline, potable, and certain
effluent concentrated water. |

Continuity of seal and continuity of
thermal insulation throughout changes in plane and direction are
hallmarks of COLORSEAL. Unique among options for large joint-gap sealing, COLORSEAL and SEISMIC COLORSEAL can be positively secured at inside corners without invasive anchors. In addition the products' ability to maintain watertightness while handling curves and direction changes further sets it apart from rubber-and-rail strip seals. The bellows holds the key to COLORSEAL's unique performance. Alternatives comprised of a pre-cured block of silicone over a un-impregnated foam backing must still be caulked to the substrate with large applications of liquid sealant. COLORSEAL features non-invasive anchoring which means you are not drilling and screwing into sensitive substrates. This eliminates the risk of spalls and enables installation into inside corners that are impossible to seal with screw-anchored strip-seals. Puncturing of silicone facing does not affect sealant system performance. Back pressure maintains the seal and ensures that the silicone bellows is never under tension from the effects of joint movement. This means that neither the bellows nor the corner bead are in tension during joint opening movement. |

R-value--An R-value of approximately 1.8 per inch of depth imparts thermal insulation at structural joint-gaps where thermal loss through strip-seals is often significant (click here for more on r-values). Unlike imitations that use closed-cell foam backings and that must be forced into compression in the field, COLORSEAL is supplied pre-compressed to smaller than the joint size. This means that neither the bellows nor the corner bead, nor the foam backing are in tension either during the full extent of movement capability nor as a result of compression set typical in closed-cell foams. Sound Attenuation is also a feature of COLORSEAL. With a 2 1/2" standard depth product installed in one side of a STC 72 wall, COLORSEAL had a STC 56 rating and in an OITC 61 wall it had a 53 OITC rating. When installed from both sides of a STC 72 wall it received the maximum of STC 72 equaling the sound suppression of the wall and in an OITC 61 wall it received a OITC 60 rating. SEISMIC COLORSEAL, with 100% movement for high-movement and large joint sealing is also available. SEISMIC COLORSEAL-DS (Double sided) is available for shallow-substrates, or where sealing both the inside and outside expansion joint in a single step is desired.
COLORSEAL-PR
(Pick Resistant)--Now also available for detention and security

UNIVERSAL & CUSTOM 90's (Patent Pending)
SEISMIC COLORSEAL is manufactured in straight-run sticks which can be joined in the field to EMSEAL’s patent-pending "Universal-90" transitions. These factory-fabricated single-piece 90-degree units have a 12-inch long leg and a 6-inch vertical piece on each side of the elbow. The Universal-90 transition pieces are symmetrically coated on both faces. This allows them to be installed as an inside corner or as an outside corner. In addition to guaranteeing watertightness, EMSEAL’s "Universal-90's" allow for much faster and secure installation by eliminating field cutting or notching and bending, at angles. Custom-90's, coated on just the weather-facing faces, are also available when field conditions and measurements are known up front. Consult EMSEAL |
