The ioint sealing tape for use in solid, window, timber frame and metal construction, civil engineering and fire proofing joints Presentation

The art of jointing

il lbruck's sealing techniq ue tokes each of the various types of structu ral joints into consideration according to the requirements of construction physics and application engineering. Comprehensive documentation is avai lable to both planners and users for the sectors of solid construction . (concrete, prefabricated concrete units, brickwork including lightweight concrete as wel l as fu ll heat insulation), wood and metal construction and the large field of joint seals between window elements and structure. A ll of these joints ore evaluated according to the principa l aspects of expansion compensation, tightness against driving rain, durability and vapour diffus ion permeability. In the ground jointfield, illbruck is mainly concerned w ith the sealing of expansion [oints, such as joints in parking decks and airfields. The range of products is completed by the high-performance w illseol firestop joint sea ling tape. The high demands placed on these joints present an expanding field of develop­ment with regard to water-tightness as wel l as application techniques. This product hos demonstrated optimum resu lts in protecting life and property against fire in the most demanding joints.

sealing techniques in solid construction Joints in bui lding construction exposed to the weather place high demands on the joint seal. On the one hand, the joint seal must safely and flexibly · compensate for the expansion and contraction of the joint as caused by structural shifting or temperature fluctuations; on the other hand, the joint seal must be able to w ithstand the stress of long -term exposure to the elements (rain, snow, sun). The know­how illbruck has acquired through the company's own research and develop­ment activities, as well as its continual use of the highest quality materia l available are of critical importance. The combination of these two factors is the only way to create a joint seal able to prevent structura l damage in the long term. The use of inferior materials that appear the same can lead to considerable damage after only a few years.

Solid construction

Construction with prefabricated concrete units w il lseal 150 is ideal ly suited for construc­tion w ith prefabricated concrete units and for use w ith cu rta in walls as well as ventilated and insulated fac;ade walls . The dimensions of the joints can be determinded rather accurately by planners and users. The choice of the appropriate tape dimension assures that the correct amount of sealing material required to achieve an efficient seal is utilized from the first to the last metre of the joint.

The tape can be fitted either during instal lation of the concrete units or subsequently. This integration of the joint sealing operation into the erection process is particulary convenient for the user considering cost, time and quality. wil lsea l can be painted with solvent-free fac;ade paints and requires no additional outer protection such as covering strips or spraying compounds.

Renovation

For renovation purpose, it is sufficient to remove only enough of the old ioint mortar to obtain approximately parallel ioint sides. Further preparation, such as priming, is not necessary. Because willseal ioint sealing tape is supplied precompressed on the roll, it can then be easily inserted into the joint.

Sealing techniques in window construction The wi llseal joint sealing tape is widely used for sealing the joints between the window frame and the structu re. The most important advantage willseal offers window fitters is that the joint sealing process can be integrated into the w indow instal lation.

The sealing tape dimensions specified by the planner guara ntee a consistently high qua lity standard all around the window.

il lbruck maintains close contact with the leading manufacturers of sections and windows and with the Institute fo r W indow Engineering at Rosenheim. Throug h constant coordination and cooperation individual solutions and installation instructions are adapted to state of the art window technology. High-quality windows require a high quality sealing material.

This resu lts in reliable, high-performance heat and sound insulation. Good ecological compatibility is ensured because the use of propellants at the construction site is avoided. Thus, the problems connected w ith the disposal of the otherwise requi red auxiliary materials do not arise in the first place.

~will rolling shutter insulation ill bruck has developed a product for use as a li ning in new and already installed rolling shutter cases with provides both heat and sound insula­tion. The high-quality flame-retardant foam material is supplied in plate form and is light wight and easy to handle. For higher sound insulation classes, the material can be provided w ith a special insulating foil. For industrial series prod uction, shaped cuts can be supplied in accordance w ith techn ica l drawings.

Ill will "M ledge The sea ling ledge is used fo r highly rationa l sealing at largescale pro ject sites and for renovation purposes in particular. A lining tape especially developed by illbruck is glued into a profiled ledge, either at the construction site or in the facto ry. This ledge is then simply fastened to the window frame thus providing a perfect outward appeara nce and a rel iable seal.

Wooden construction

~will I™ Sealing technique s in timber frame construction The sea ling of joints and connections in wooden construction requires specia l consideration as wood is an organic material subject to considerable expansion and contraction w hen exposed to moisture. O nly a truly high-quality joint sealing tape can guarantee the requ ired seal elasticity. Hermetic joint sealing in timber frame construction soon leads to water condensation and subsequent rot. The I nstitut for Wood Construction Engineer­ing at Rosenheim has scientifically proven that the principle of the two­stage seal ing is essential even in moderate climates. The water vapour diffusion permeabil ity of the wi llseal joint sealing tape is especially useful in the regard. This principle has proved successful even under extreme climatic conditions, such as those found in Scandinavian countries.

Half-timbered bulldings willseal is used both in construction and renovation. w illseal is ideally su ited for use in conjunction w ith different construction materia ls which, due to temperature fluctuations, undergo different degrees of expan­sion. wi llseal can be plastered over later without any problems.

Log cabin structures In log cabin structures, willseal is used as a vertical sealing in cut grooves between the ind ividual logs. Specially shaped forms d imensions a re available for industrial series production. For wooden construction, we recommend wi llseal beige.

~will TM

Sealing techniques in metal construction The use of sea lings that are capable of compensating for 1·oint expansion and contraction is high y recommended in metal construction and especially for fac;ades, due to the considerable stress imposed on the fac;ade by wind, rain and - especially in case of dark metals - extremely high temperature differ­ences due to insulation. willseal is therefore recommended not only for areas exposed to the effects of the weather but also for covered joining points where the importa_nce of a functional sealing is often seriously underestimated. In metal construction as in other sectors, principles of construction physics must be taken into account when planning the sealing in order to avoid any damage to the structure or to the heat insulation.

~will sealing tape willrid is a closed-cell vinyl foam material used mainly as a compression sealing, which is resistant to the effects of weather, aging und UV-rays.

Continuous reels illbruck materials are available on large-size reels and in specific dimen­sions for industrial series production. Thus, the sealing can be integrated into the construction element during production.

Construction physics The true art of jointing

Do construction joints hove to be hermetica lly sealed? The prevailing opinion requires construction /·oints to be sealed as tightly as possib e. At first glance, it seems reasonable to provide the heavily stressed outside of a joint with a hermetic sealing to prevent rain and moisture from penetrating into the joint and causing damage to the structure. More recent outdoor tests of various types of joints in wooden construction (Figure l), however, prove beyond doubt that this sea ling technique with a hermetic sealing on the outside con lead to serious problems.

The reasons: A construction joint is not exposed to moisture only from the outside.

Moisture exposure of construdion ioints Example: Wooden construction Moisture con penetrate into a joint in different ways, e.g . by

l. Exposure to rain Defects in a conventional sealing, a sea ling peeling off from the joint sides or crocks in the construction material con lead to water penetrating into the joint.

2. Vapour diffusion A diffusion flow from the room into the joint con develop due to differences in vapour pressure. This con lead to water condensation inside the joint during the cold season.

3. Moisture conveyance

16

Where local permeabilities on the in­side of the joint ore found, worm air containing moisture flows from interior rooms through the joint. Here the air cools down depositing a consider­able amount of condensation behind the joint.

The processes described above ore shown in Figure l.

Figure l Moisture exposure of a construction joint The joint sealing is not only exposed to moisture externally as a result of rainfall. Detrimental moisture effects can also develop inside the joint due to diffusion and flow processes.

The consequences of improper ioint sealing technique

The -possible consequences of a improper joint construction were show n by a test carried out under real-life conditions. Common joint types used in wooden construction were compared in an outdoor test under actual climatic conditions. The most important test results ore shown in Figure 2. The chart shows the time­reloted development of the moisture conten t in the wooden construction unit directly behind the outer joint sealing (market by arrows in Figure 2). The test results prove that the moisture exposure of the joint is decisively influenced by the joint sealing.

Hermetic joint sealing on the exterior leads to heavy water condensation inside the joint. In the exterior zones of the joint, the wood's moisture content reaches critical values over 20 % in the long term.

Joint sealing with diffusion· permeable seals The moisture conditions in joint con­structions sealed w ith diffusion-perme­able foam -material sealing tapes ore very different. These sea ling tapes make the joint wind- and rain-tight towards the outside. However, they hardly hinder the escape of vapour. Thus, moisture that hos penetrated into the joint con quickly evaporate into the atmosphere w ithout having any

adverse effects. The jo int remains dry and intact even under extreme cl imatic conditions.

J!! 03 Q.

Joint permeability requirements (a-value) The air permeability of ioints is de­scribed by the ioint permeability coefficient, the so-ca lled a-value, in accordance with DIN 18055. This characteristic factor states the air volume flowing through a ioint Ieng ht of one metre at a specific overpressure, expressed in cubic metres per hour. The chart shows the ioint permeability of a ioint sealed w ith w illseal sealing tape at various test pressures. At test pressures between 50 Pascal and 600 Pasca l, al l measured values are safely below the marked limit of a = 0.1. According to Professor Cziesielski, Berlin, the a-value of construction joints should be less than 0.1 to avoid excessive ventilation heat losses and draught effects inside the room.

Vapour diffusion (µ,-value) Thewillseal sealing tapes do not form a hermetic barrier against vapour. Thus, vapour can escape from the inside of the ioint into the surroundings. The characteristic value for the diffusion capacity of a materia l is the µ,-value (vapour diffusion resistance factor). The µ,-value states by how much the diffusion res istance of a material layer exceeds that of an air layer of the same diameter. The diffusion resistance of willseal tapes depends on the degree

of their compression. The more the tape is compressed, the higher the µ,-value. The chart shows the relation­ship between the d iffusion resistance factor (µ,-va lue) and the compression of an willseal sealing tape 20/10. At a specified tape compression of l :5, the w illseol sealing tape hos an µ,-value of 30, i.e. the d iffusion resistance of an willseal sea ling tape w ith the dimension 20/ 10 is identical to that of an air layer of 0.6 m diameter.

The sound insulating capabilities of the ioint are dramatically affected by the insta llation of w illseal sealing tapes. This is shown by the tests carried out on a 6 mm ioint. While the open join t reaches a ioint sound insulation level of only 20 dB at a frequency of 1000 Hz, the jo int w ith one strip of willseal tape (compression l :5) achieves as much as 50 dB. With two stripes of w illseal tape the sound insulation is improved

by another 5 d B. In the lower frequency range (up to approx. 320 Hz), the double tape sealing hos little effect on the sound insulation. The sound insulation resu lts are nearly identica l up to a frequency of 320 Hz. Above this frequency, the curves show a fan-type divergence.

The necessary flexibility The soft-foam material subjected to spe­cial treatment guarantees the flexibility required for compensation of shearing forces and tensi le or compressive movement.

~will r is active in the ioint While the compression is slowly released, ill mod expands within the joint, sealing the joint re liably and permanently and compensating for its irreg ularities.

w illseal can be installed as a sealing against driving rain in accordance with DIN 18055 willseal seals the joint against noise draughts, noise, cold, heat losses, dust, and so on ... willseal is flame-retardant in accord ­ance w ith DIN 4102, B 1 (PA - 11 12.849)

Forceful After the compression has been relea­sed, willseal develops an elastic force pressing tightly against the jo int sides, i.e. the reaction is not chemical but purely physical.

~will w is reliable A joint seal that does not tear or break nor peel off the joint sides - wil lseal remains continuously elastic for many years .

~will TM is compatible wi llseal is not only permanently elastic and chemically neutral - it is very compatib le with impregnated wood, fac;ade coatings and fresh concrete.

!lwill fM is different from others With wi llseal, the joint can be sealed in a sing le operation:

no preparation of the jo int w ith primers (etc.) is necessary no masking, no smoothing, no back­filling, no additio nal sealing no expensive equipment, such as compressors, in jectors, nozzles, (etc.) is necessary

A rough cleaning of the joint is all that is needed before wil l seal is inserted into the.joint directly from the roll. Irregulari­ties in the joint are compensated for by the continuous pressure exerted on the joint sides.

Additional advantages for planners and users Added safety through strid testing wil lseal is subject to continual testing in accordance with the Agrement No. 375/ 90 (Federal Institution for Material Testing, Berlin).

The all-weather sealing tape willseal expands slowly at low tempera­tures and correspond ingly faster in warm weather - it can be fitted anytime and in any weather.

!J will .,., dimensions willseal has the right dimension for any joint- specified prior to installation in an invitation to tender, for example. This means: The joint is consistently and uniformly sealed w ith the calculated amount of material. Installation faults become vis ible at once.

Rule of thumb for tape selection Joint width = tape th ickness = tightness against driving rain For example: An 8 mm joint is sealed with a 20/ 8-tape: Tape width = 20 mm. More demanding, wider joints are sealed with a wider tape (30 or 40 mm - large amount of sealing materia l) .

willseal firestop Das Sicherheitsprodukt Zunehmendes Streben nach Sicherheit und Umweltschutz nehmen einen immer breiteren Raum in der Planung for Gebaude a lier Art ein. Hinsichtlich des Brandschutzes wird der vorbeu­gende Aspekt ouch durch die Auswahl entsprechender Produkte berOcksich­tigt. Bauliche Anlagen mOssen so beschaffen sein, daB der Entstehung eines Brandes und der Ausbreitung von Feuer und Rauch vorgebeugt wird und bei einem Brand die Rettung von Menschen und Tieren sowie wirksame Loscharbeiten moglich sind. Dies findet in der Praxis ihre Umsetzung durch die Ausbildung von klassifizierten oder zugelassenen Bauteilen, deren brandabschottende Wirkung ouch in AnschluB- oder Konstruktionsfugen gewahrleistet sein muB.

Anforderungen Brandabschnittsbildende Bauteile mOssen for eine definierte Zeit die Ausbreitung von Feuer und Rauch verhindern und lhre Standsicherheit bewahren. Konstruktiv notwendige Dehnungsfugen, Fugen in AnschluB­bereichen von Trennwanden zur tra­genden Wand, Fugen zwischen Wand­und Deckenbereich sowie Konstruk­tionsfugen zwischen Fertigteilen dorfen die Feuerwiderstandsklasse des an­grenzenden Bauteils nicht verschlech­tern. Das bedeutet, die Fuge, die ein F 90 Bauteil unterteilt, muB mit einem Fugensystem ausgebildet sein, dessen Eignung in entsprechenden Bauteil­prOfungen nachgewiesen ist.

willseal firestop - das Produkt Fugen in Bauteilen mit einer Feuerwider­standsdauer bis F 180 konnen mit willseal firestop ausgefohrt werden. Entsprechend den in BauteilprOfungen ermittelten notwendigen Materialbreiten in Abhangigkeit von der Fugenbreite und der Feuerwiderstandsklasse wird willseal firestop standardma6ig bis 100 mm Breite (Fugentiefe) und for Fugen­breiten bis 60 mm angeboten. Im Brand­fall reagiert ein speziell entwickeltes keramisch mineralisches lmpragnat selbstandig in zwei Sicherheitsstufen:

Product Information Joint Sealing Tape for the Fire Protection Joint

Brief description

willseal firestop is a precompressed sealing tape that has been developed especially for

use in joints of components for fire compartmentalization. In case of a fire, the ceramic and

mineral impregnate is activated in two security steps and forms a reliable protection against

burning through of the joints. In the first step, a ceramically solidified joint seal forms from the

flexible joint seal. In the second step, the expanded mineral components completely fill the joint

areas and thus ensure that the temperature increase on the side of the joints facing away from the

fire is not higher than in the component itself.

Material

Open-cell polyurethane soft foam with ceramic and mineral impregnate.

Measuring tape, knife, trowel, and water.

● Clean the joint to remove construction debris.

● Measure the length of the joint.

5

● Open the roll and remove the wrapping paper.

● Cut off the start of the tape.

● Moisten the joint sides and the tape with water. The moistening of the tape causes the

expansion.

● Until the complete expansion is achieved, the tape can be immobilized with shims.

● Splices should be produced only with miter cut.

● Install vertical joints from the bottom to the top.

1 . Prior to accepting a manufacturer, the BBA inspects the facility to attain assurance that this company has the capability to produce a quality prod­uct.

2 . This quality audit must be conducted under the leadership of a quality assurance employee as well as in accordance with a quality program accepted by the testing institution.

3. In the course of the audit, the BBA takes samples to determine whether the technical properties documented con-espond with the results of the testing.

This BBA cedification means for illbruck, that independent testing institutions such as the KIWA in the Netherlands and ICITE in Italy and SOCOTEX in France will certify illmod 150's quality. This is a major step in the effort to secure a signi-ficant construction industry market share Awarding of the illmod 150 quality certificate

'"'illseal firestop applied in the ioints of the new Plalz Theater in Kaiserslautern The new Pfalz Theater in Kaiserslautern will commence its activities in fall of 1995. illbruck already had its curtain fall before the magnificent domed culture center opened its doors. Building codes called for the 'curtain to be opened for safety' as they specified the building joints. The specifications called for a very flexible and fibre-free fire protection product which could adjust to the differ­ent size joints easily and have a fire re­sistance of F90. After various products have been compared, willseal firestop was the preferred choice since it meets all requirements and with it, any con­struction problems can be solved easily. Take for example the extremely high tolerances of the precast sections. Some of the joints were cracked at the edges and had varying widths within them of up to 20 mm. Other joints were in diffi­cult-to-reach areas of the walls and ceilings and called for a material which

':luld be easily installed. The material .so had to have strong expansion and

compression properties to guarantee a secure and fire protection seal. willseal firestop matches these demands perfectly. The heavy carrier of willseal

hard-to-reach installation areas, as it can be placed, removed, and placed until it fits perfectly. Furthermore, new com­pression is possible after dampening the material. Large dimension tolerances make the selection of the needed dimensions easy thus its easy applica­tion on-site_ In addition, exposed joints did not require additional facings since the color match­ing of the joint sealant material could be

easily accomplished by applying latex paint directly to the surface of the willseal firestop. The corner stone of the Pfalz theater was laid in 1993. The future holds classi­cal and contemporary performances on the 800 sq mtr stage with seating for 720 spectators. The building has three sections; the entry, the main flom and the upper balcony as well as a three­story underground parking structure.

Paris is worth a visit The aroma of a warm baguette or fresh­ly baked croissant, the ever so busy Cafes, and the distinguished French flair that stands without comparison - Paris is always worth a visit with so many sights worth seeing: the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Les Champs-Elysees, the Louvre, and - for the insider - illbruck Batiment Sari, our French construction products subsidiary. Guy Muller accepted the management responsibilities of the French affiliate at the beginning of this year and has been busy expanding the business with his powerful team of five : Ewald Fauser, sealing products sales, is challenged to repeat in France the suc­cess our illmod sealing tapes enjoy in Germany. Christophe Beosiere, acoustic products sales, can be credited with the success of our acoustic products in the French market over the last six years. His intensive market penetration made ou1· products known and accepted in the industry as noise reduction problem solutions. Yann Peroni is responsible for both product lines, particularly in dealing

Seal of Quality To distinguish itself from the competition in the market, illbruck Construction Products consistently pursues quality. An attribute which is continuously tested . The British Board of Agreement (BBA), an independent testing agency, gave illmod 150 its quality certification. Since quality audits are only conducted upon request in the construction market, illbruck took the initiative with its joint sealant tape. The reason lies in the fact that this diverse construction industry has no standard quality audits. Each building has its individual charac­teristics and consists of innumerable standard components fm individual requirements. illbruck' s quality products often face tough competition with less expensive materials which do not have a quality

with specifying agencies such as archi­tects, government offices, community offices, or apartment builders. In France, specifying agencies are very important since the share of sales to that group is very significant. The heart and soul of the internal opera­tions are Nathalie LeDuff and William Lebihan. Both contributed their share to the positive development of illbruck' s

certification. Considering the fact, that companies are in an investment reduction mode, the question needs to be asked, whether those competitive products can be compared in their performance to the quality certified illbruck products. illbruck Construction Products believes it will set itself apart from the competition with its products bearing the quality seal. As with all products, the BSA inspected illmod 150 very thoroughly. They reviewed:

illmod 150's technical properties such as the resistance to water and damp­ness, dimensions, etc. processability of the material, application and effectiveness as well as purpose and scope, packaging, transportability, and re­sistance

activities in France. They are in charge of keeping inventory and shipping the orders. Guy Muller restructured the off ice in Paris, redistributed responsibilities, imple­mented job descriptions and determined fixed goals. As a result of these changes and increased building activities in France, we are looking forward to a good year-end 1994.

general characteristics (qualitative criteria of performance requirements under consideration of the individual building demands), i.e. : selection and use of illmod 150, its compatibility with other building materials and products, the installation preparation requirements on-site as well as proof of its resistance to driving rain.

illbruck has previously requested that the BAM in Berlin (German Material Testing Institution) tests and certifies its illmod sealant tapes for their quality. In the course of the increasing adaptic to the European standards, this institu1'­has been dissolved. Great Britain is one of the European communities which insists on its own testing institution. To receive certification, the BSA adheres to strict guidelines:
