In 1964 theAmerican rubber manufacturer General Tiredeveloped a system of expansion jointsfor br idgescalledTRANSFLEX. It registered thepatent of invention andthetrademark worldwide.In 1971 theExpandite Division carried out thefirstinstallation in Spain with TRANSFLEX material (Bailen-Ferraz flyover in Madrid). In 1997 theTrelleborg Groupintegrated theExpandite Division into its organisation.At thepresent timeTrelleborg IESA, a company within theTRELLEBORG Group, hasthe rightsof ownership of thetrademark, manufactureand distribution, which arecarriedout through itsExpanditeDivision.

Brief description of the product

TheTRANSFLEX system consistsof rubber mouldedmodulesreinforced with steel.TRANSFLEX issupplied in modulesof a specified lengthand areanchored to both sidesof thestructural joint. .Thereisa widerangeof modulesthat absorb movementsupto 330 mm in length, including thoseproduced by skew joints. Their main functionsareto absorb thesemovements,ensurequiet traffic and provideeffective sealing of thejointon theroad surface.

Characteristics

The joint absorbsmovementsup to 330 mm in lengthModulesare rubber coated to protect the reinforcementsThey ensure comfortable travel over the jointExtraordinary durabili ty.

Possibil it y of absorbing skew movements.Easy, fast assembly when replacing old jointsThe impact loadsare fully absorbed by the system.

Our installationsat Izarra, wheretheTRANSFLEX joint ismanufactured.
