Introduction
Concrete expands and contracts every day due to temperature changes.
Without a flexible sealant, joints eventually crack, allowing water to enter and damage the structure.
MS-2000 has been engineered to absorb movement while maintaining excellent adhesion.
Why Expansion Joints Fail
Common reasons include:
- Loss of elasticity
- UV degradation
- Shrinkage
- Poor adhesion
- Water penetration
Why MS-2000 Performs Better
MS-2000 offers:
- High movement capability
- Excellent adhesion
- UV resistance
- Weather resistance
- Long service life
- Low VOC formulation
Proven Performance
MS-2000 has demonstrated excellent adhesion and cohesion under cyclic movement testing in accordance with ASTM C920 requirements, showing no bond failure on mortar substrates.
Typical Applications
- Concrete expansion joints
- Sidewalk joints
- Parking decks
- Warehouses
- Industrial floors
- Loading bays
- Building movement joints
Conclusion
For expansion joints, flexibility is more important than hardness.
MS-2000 provides durable movement accommodation and weather protection, helping extend the life of concrete structures.
