Abstract:
An expansion joint seal system which includes a temperature-activated fire retarding material to protect uncoated edges of substrates. A fire rated compressed expansion joint sealant is provided having a temperature-activated fire retarding material proximate, but below the water-resistant top of the foam, so that when exposed to fire, the temperature-activated fire retarding material expands to protect the exposed vertical surface of the adjacent concrete substrate. The end of the concrete is therefore protected in a manner which does not require joint overlap between the horizontal fire resistant coating and the compressible sealant.

Claim (Index 1):
An expansion joint seal system for imposition between a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate having a first substrate end face, the second substrate having a second substrate end face, comprising,\n a body of elastically-compressible material,\n the body of elastically-compressible material having a body first face intermediate a body top and a body bottom and a body second face opposite the body first face, \n wherein the body first face is adapted to contact the first substrate end face and the body second face is adapted to contact the second substrate end face, a first temperature-activated fire retarding member,\n the first temperature-activated fire retarding member having a first temperature-activated fire retarding member first outer surface, \n the first temperature-activated fire retarding member first outer surface substantially aligned with the body first face intermediate the body top and the body bottom, \n the first temperature-activated fire retarding member bonded to a first sheet of non-foam material, the first sheet of non-foam material bonded to the body of elastically-compressible material, \n a second temperature-activated fire retarding member,\n the second temperature-activated fire retarding member having a second temperature-activated fire retarding member first outer surface, \n the second temperature-activated fire retarding member first outer surface substantially aligned with the body second face intermediate the body top and the body bottom, \n the second temperature-activated fire retarding member bonded to a second sheet of non-foam material, the second sheet of non-foam material bonded to the body of elastically-compressible material.
