Introducing :

PATENT PENDING

EMSHIELD

A family of UL 2079 fire-rated, multi-function, single-install expansion joint products to meet evolving building science.

With EMSHIELD, EMSEAL has built the fire rating into the joint.

These single install products eliminate the need for fire-blankets, mineral wools, and fire-caulks.

The EMSHIELD family of products is in use in new and retrofit joint applications on facilities worldwide.  The EMSHIELD product line so far consists of:


 
  EMSHIELD DFR2 and DFR3:

Trafficable, watertight, 2-HR (DFR2) and 3-HR (DFR3) Fire Rated, 50% movement


  EMSHIELD SJS-FR1 SEISMIC JOINT SYSTEM

Why EMSHIELD?

The role of floors and walls goes far beyond just separating spaces.

Exterior walls are now a vital part of the energy performance plan for structures.

Interior walls and floors are a vital part of the life-safety and interior environmental controls of the structure.

Structural expansion joints and other component joints are gaps in wall and floor assemblies.

The EMSHIELD product line provides all of the performance expectations of the wall or floor assembly in a single installation.

EMSHIELD eliminates the need for additional fire blankets, mineral wools, liquid sealants, cover plates, or other fire stopping materials.
