EnbiSeal - どのような条件でも信頼できる性能

Enbiのワックスフリー処方は、極端な高温での性能問題を解決し、シールの寿命を延ばし、SKUを削減し、商業建設クライアントの設置時間を短縮しました。

プロジェクト

Enbi’s customer offers solutions in the commercial construction market, producing architectural building joint seals. The seals are used between two structural walls, or on cement flooring for parking garages. The seal is designed to expand and contract, as the building reacts to the changes in temperature that occur during the day and from season to season. The seal also has to be able to accommodate large movements caused by thermal expansion as well as being able to handle cleaning chemicals, UV and ozone as well as mechanical damage.

歴史

Current joint seals are made using foams that are impregnated with an acrylic “wax”.  The main problem with the wax is that it can heat up in hot desert climates (such as Nevada, Arizona, California and others) during the hot summer months and the wax “bleeds out” of the joints onto below areas of the structure in parking garages. The bleeding can be unsightly and also is detrimental to the performance of seal in the long run.

私たちのアプローチ

Enbi’s customer was looking for an alternate solution to the “bleed” issue and to improve the overall performance of the seal in service. Enbi’s solution was to look at material formulations which provided the same level of performance but without the wax impregnation. One additional benefit is that the Enbi seals can be supplied without the need to be precompressed, saving time for the installers once the seals arrive on site.

利点

ワックスフリーの配合を使用することで、顧客と最終ユーザーに大きな利点がもたらされました。主な利点は、特に暖かいおよび高温の環境でシールの耐用年数が大幅に向上したことです。これにより、同じシールを世界中で使用でき、在庫する必要のあるSKUの数が大幅に削減されます。さらに、シールの取り付けが容易になったため、現場での設置時間が短縮され、設置業者のコスト削減につながりました。
