2. J and JP-Series Profiles
The J and JP-Series Profiles include an extruded elastomeric profile
and a high-strength, two-part epoxy based structural adhesive. The
product, when inserted into an expansion joint in a substrate, will seal
the opening from the intrusion of water and debris. This unique de-
sign allows the seal to function under compression as well as in ten-
sion.
The standard J-Series is used for parking garage applications, where
normal as well as vertical movements are a design parameter. The
JP-Series are designed for architectural applications, meeting ADA
guidelines and providing a smooth walking surface for pedestrians. In
addition to architectural and parking garage projects, the J and JP
JP– 400 Series Profile
Series can also be used for bridge applications.

3. Features and Benefits
• Ease of Installation – Using a vacuum, the seal is collapsed and easily inserted. Once the vacuum is
released, the air pressure returns to normal and compresses the sidewalls against the concrete
surfaces. Installation does not rely on a positive air pressure, which can over inflate the seal and
squeeze out adhesive.
• Concrete and Steel Adhesive is VOC Compliant – The adhesive has a zero VOC rating. The
material resists humidity, salt spray, and extreme temperature ranges.
• Fatigue Tested for One-Million Cycles – The profiles were cyclically opened and closed in tension
and compression for one-million cycles. The seals were stretched to 200% of their original width
with no bond failure.
• No Block-out Recess Required – The J and JP-Series are a solid choice with the pre-cast concrete
industry in that no block-out recess is required. The seal profile can be installed directly between
the joint interfaces.

Limitations
The J and JP-Series waterproofing capabilities are dependent on the internal forces generated while the

the Product Size and Movement Table found in this brochure.

4. CS/AF/AW Concourse Seals
Delastic® CS & AF preformed seals provide a level top surface that is particularly suited for pedes-
trian traffic. Once in the joint opening, the top sections are much closer together forming a level walk-
ing surface and a pleasing visual effect for exposed vertical applications.
The AF and AW Series seals also feature a level top surface suited for pedestrians and lower traffic
volumes. The “honeycomb” design creates the necessary outward pressure for a watertight seal.

5. Delastic ® Neoprene Sponge Joint
D.S. Brown's Delastic® Neoprene Sponge Joint (NSJ) seals are preformed and made from
closed cell neoprene expanded rubber. The NSJ expansion joint seal is designed for
small movement expansion joint applications such as: small movement bridge expan-
sion joints, perimeter joints around buildings, vertical wall applications and slab-
to-wall conditions, exterior columns, elevator shafts, and stair towers. NSJ ex-
pansion joint seals remain in contact with the joint walls through normal
compression and tension of their shape and are bonded to the joint with a
high quality epoxy adhesive.
Features/Advantages:
• Can be used in new construction and/or reseal projects
• Extended performance life
• Ease of installation
• Watertight epoxy adhesive
• Can be combined with D.S. Brown PaveSaver™ elastomeric concrete header

7. Delastic ® Preformed Neoprene Compression Seals
In 1960 The D. S. Brown Company began designing and extruding the first generation of Delastic® Preformed
Neoprene Compression Seals. Since that time continuous improvements have been made to this versatile, cost-
effective joint sealing solution. To withstand the demanding requirements of bridge/highway installations, all
Delastic® Preformed Compression Seals are extruded from neoprene (polychloroprene) compounds which satisfy
the ASTM standard specification D3542 for Preformed Polychloroprene Elastomeric Joint Seals for Bridges.
In addition to highway and bridge applications, Delastic® Neoprene Compression Seals have also been used in
spillways, dams, parking structures, stadium ramps, and pedestrian over-passes. Information on additional seal
designs is available.
Installation
In all installation applications, the joint width must be properly set for the specified Delastic® seal. Also, the verti-
cal faces of the joint must be clean and free of spalled concrete. Desirable installation temperatures range from
35ºF (2ºC) to 80ºF (27ºC). At temperatures below this range the lubricant/adhesive has limited effectiveness, while
at temperatures above this range the seals become difficult to compress for installation.
Manual and automatic tools are available to facilitate installation. D. S. Brown Delastilube™ or Delastilube™ HS
lubricant/adhesive is used primarily to lubricate the seal for installation purposes. The Delastilube™ products meet
ASTM D2835 and D4070 standards.
Design Data
The table below can be used to select the appropriate Delastic® Neoprene Compression Seal for your project. In
addition to accommodating perpendicular movements (summarized in the table), Delastic® seals are also capable of
accepting approximately 15-20% lateral shear, vertical shear, and rotational movements.
