Metazeal – Expansion Joints

Metazeal is a UV stable, pre-formed, closed-cell, low-density polyethylene foam joint seal. The material is typically used as an expansion joint seal or as a gasket material in bridge, commercial building, parking, water treatment facility, and industrial applications. Metazeal has a higher maximum operating temperature (212°F) compared to other CEVA® Expansion Joint seals. When installed within the CEVA® Joint Systems, the material acts as a water tight seismic expansion joint seal. Additional features include applications in hydrostatic environments. Metazeal can be installed in ponding/standing water and is safe for use in potable and processed water applications. Metazeal meets ADA criteria for ground and floor surfaces as stated in the rules and regulations section of the Federal Register Volume 58 no.144, US Access Board.
