Description

Polyflame EJB – Product Detail
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.

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
IS: 1838 (Part 1) – 1983

Polyflame EJB is manufactured in full compliance with the Indian Standard IS: 1838 (Part 1) – 1983, covering type requirements for preformed fillers for expansion joints in concrete structures — specifically tested for compression, extrusion, and recovery performance.

✔ Bureau of Indian Standards Compliant
Performance Specifications
Parameter Value / Range Remarks
Density 580 – 630 kg/m³ High-density core for structural rigidity
Penetration of Recovered Bitumen (0.1 mm) 48 – 55 Indicates bitumen grade and flexibility
Bitumen Content (% by mass) 35 – 38% Uniform throughout the board thickness
Compression after Weathering 12.5 – 25 kg/cm² Maintains load-bearing capacity post-weathering
Resistance to Handling No Deformation No distortion observed under normal handling
Water Absorption 15 – 20% Low absorption, bitumen acts as moisture barrier
Recovery after Weathering 91 – 95% Outstanding spring-back performance
Extrusion after Weathering 2.5 – 6.5 mm Controlled lateral extrusion under compression
Loss in Bitumen after Compression 1.4 – 3% Minimal bitumen loss ensures long-term performance
Weathering No Disintegration No sign of separation or degradation after test
Fields of Application
🛣️

Roads & Runways

Ideal for filling structural expansion and separation joints in motorways, highways, runways, and pedestrian walkways where traffic-induced movement is constant.

🏗️

Bridges & Structures

Used extensively in bridge decks, abutments, retaining walls, curbs, piers, and lateral support systems to absorb thermal and dynamic movement.

🏢

Buildings & Basements

Suitable for in-situ concrete construction, screed floors, site slabs, subways, basements, and other sub-structural applications requiring flexible joint treatment.

🌉

Block & Concrete Joints

Effectively fills structural separation joints in block masonry and cast-in-place concrete constructions, preventing cracking and spalling.

Piers & Abutments

Specially suited for expansion joints in piers and lateral support structures like abutments where directional movement must be accommodated.

🏭

Industrial Floors

Applied in flat works, industrial concrete floors, and heavy-duty surface slabs that experience thermal cycling and mechanical loading.
