Expansion joints were widening beyond control and causing unnecessary damage to the hundreds of forklift truck wheels and damaging suspension in the large distribution centre.
Traditionally, polysulphide materials are used to infill expansion joints, but also, traditionally, polysulphide just doesn’t last. An application of Belzona 2211 Hi build Elastomer was offered to infill one of the joints as a trial solution.
The joint has now been in place almost half of the year and is showing no sign of wear or deterioration, protecting the stackers and reducing damage to the machinery
All the loose and broken material from the joint was removed. Surface preparation was then performed and area conditioned. Belzona 2211(MP Hi-Build Elastomer) was installed in the expansion joint to create a flexible joint.
The application has proven the Belzona method and is now being considered for use in over 10km of internal joints
