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.
