About This Product
Description
Polyflame EJB is a high-performance, compressible bitumen-impregnated fibreboard specially engineered for expansion joints in civil and structural construction. The product is manufactured from natural wood fibre chips combined with proprietary binding materials, which are mechanically reduced to fine fibres and then pressed under controlled conditions to form a dense, continuous sheet structure.
During the manufacturing process, premium-grade bitumen is uniformly impregnated throughout the entire board — not just surface-coated — significantly enhancing moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability. The result is a robust, flexible board that conforms to joint surfaces while maintaining structural integrity under repeated load cycles.
Whether used in roads, bridges, retaining walls, or building slabs, Polyflame EJB delivers consistent performance year after year, even under harsh weathering and heavy traffic conditions.
Key Characteristics
Why Polyflame EJB?
- Multi-purpose bituminized softboard crafted from natural wood fibres — suitable for roof, wall, and floor applications in concrete and timber constructions
- Excellent elastic recovery after 50% compression — the board bounces back to near-original dimensions, sealing the joint effectively
- Good inherent thermal insulation properties, reducing heat transfer at joint interfaces
- Available in a wide range of bitumen content levels to suit varied site conditions and performance requirements
- Lightweight and easy to cut, shape, and install — significantly reducing on-site labour time
- Completely free of Asbestos, Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA), and Lead — safe for workers and the environment
