Technical Data Sheet Issue: 05.03.2021 PROOFMATE EK box profiles are compression seals of various sizes based on EPDM (ethylene propylene diene copolymer). PROOFMATE EK is used for the sealing of expansion and construction joints and as a joint completion profile. Due to its top-quality material basis PROOFMATE EK profiles are chemically resistant to de-icing salt, fuels, lubricants, UV radiation and ozone. The pre-stressed PROOFMATE EK profile, that is bonded with FIX-O-FLEX, absorbs cross, longitudinal and vertical movements of a building construction. The special inner ribbing facilitates permanent shape stability of the profile in any position. Technical data: Substance data: Colour Material basis Shore A hardness Tensile strength Elongation at break black EPDM 70 ± 5 approx. 13 MPa approx. 290 % Ageing 7d / -10°C rel. change: Shore A hardness Ageing 7d / 100°C rel. change: Shore A hardness Tensile strength Elongation at break Technical data were determined on sheets. PROOFMATE EK compression profiles can be installed directly into the properly prepared joint if there is no mechanical stress on the joint edges. The joints are milled in parallel to the depth that is required for the chosen profile size, if the joints have not already been prepared in the formwork of a new building. There must be no cracks, breaks, or severe unevennes

The selection of the appropriate impact profile depends on the joint dimensions and the expected joint movements, which cause the joint dimensions to change temporarily. A profile inserted at minimum pave width can still be compressed by joint movements up to the min. joint opening. If movements cause the joint to widen, this is possible for the functionality of the respective profile up to the max. joint opening. FB B B = profile width, H = profile height FB = minimum joint width required for installing the profile FT = minimum joint depth required for correct functioning Profile...

A robust edge protection is required if there is any mechanical stress on the joint edges, e.g. in traffic areas. PC mortar, e.g. HYDROPOX mortar, can be used to achieve such an adequate edge protection Safety information: No special measures required Rolls or bundles in carton or on pallets (depending on profile type) Shelf life at least 24 month in original packaging when stored in dry conditions between 15-25°C, protected from heat, frost and direct sunlight. After the expiration the use of the product is generally not recommended, unless an approval has been provided by TPH. This...
