Molded expansion joint
Molded elastomer seals are used for applications at lower temperatures. They have the advantage of dramatically reducing vibrations and noise. Their flexibility allows a large tolerance on different movement operations and facilitating the installation.
| Available materials | Min. temperature and operation limits | |
|---|---|---|
| Viton | -30 °C + 200 °C | -20 °F + 400 °F |
| EPDM | -40 °C + 120 °C | -40 °F + 250 °F |
| Silicone | -65 °C + 250 °C | -85 °F + 482 °F |
| Pure Gum (Natural) | -40 °C + 80 °C | -40 °F + 180 °F |
| Polyurethane | -50 °C + 100 °C | -58 °F + 212 °F |
| SBR | -25 °C + 85 °C | -10 °F + 185 °F |
| Neoprene | -30 °C + 100 °C | -22 °F + 212 °F |
| Nitrile | -30 °C + 85 °C | -20 °F + 185 °F |
Some of these rubbers are available FDA as well as reinforced.
Different mixes of rubbers may be used in the same expansion joint.
