The Problem

Constant wheeled traffic in parking garages cause seals installed in elastomeric concrete to separate or break up. When failure occurs, owners or operators have to close sections or the whole garage to get them replaced.

The Solution

Zip Blockï¿½ Expansion Joint Seals feature one-piece EPDM extrusions with integral nosings. Easily installed, Zip Block is embedded in epoxy and sealed for a totally watertight finish. With Zip Block thereï¿½s no failed nosings, no garage closings and no lost revenue

Exhaustive Testing

The ZB seal has been subjected to rigorous rolling load (1,360kgs. per wheel), freeze/thaw, ASTM cycling, shear and epoxy bond tests and passed all by wide margins. With ZB there's no garage closings, no lost revenue.

Eliminates messy, poorly performing elastomeric concrete

Mixing and applying elastomeric concrete is a messy, time consuming hassle. Zip Block™ high strength epoxy assures a clean installation. ZB seals can even be installed on concrete cured for less than a week.

Built Tough

With elastomeric systems, cracking of the nosing results from poor support at the joint edge.The ZB’s integral nosing has sufficient mass to withstand wheeled impact under these conditions. It can even stand up to snow plows.

Great for Retrofit

Zip Block™ will work in any garage because it is designed to fit the same blockout that houses the damaged seal it will replace. Remove the old seal, apply the epoxy and "walk in" the ZB seal, without shutting down your garage
