Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant and fire-resistant foam-based seal in the joint between adjacent panels. A fire-resistant and water-resistant expansion joint seal is provided which includes one more foam members and a plurality of intumescent members interspersed within the foam member or members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance.

Claim (Index 5):
A fire-resistant and water-resistant expansion joint seal, comprising:\n a first plurality of foam members, a first plurality of intumescent members,\n each of the first plurality of intumescent members having a lateral cross section, each of the lateral cross sections of the first plurality of intumescent members presenting a wave-like profile; \n each of the first plurality of intumescent members having a first intumescent member spring force; \n each of the first plurality of intumescent members interspersed between two of the first plurality of foam members, \n a second plurality of foam members, a second plurality of intumescent members,\n each of the second plurality of intumescent members having a lateral cross section, \n each of the lateral cross sections of the second plurality of intumescent members presenting a wave-like profile; \n each of the second plurality of intumescent members having an second intumescent member spring force; \n each of the second plurality of intumescent members interspersed between two of the second plurality of foam members, \n a vapor-impermeable membrane, the vapor-impermeable membrane adhered to a bottom of the first plurality of foam members and the vapor-impermeable membrane adhered to a top of the second-plurality of foam members; and wherein one of the first plurality of intumescent members extends beyond one of a top surface of one of the first plurality of foam members, a bottom surface of one of the first plurality of foam members, or a side of one of the first plurality of foam members or wherein one of the second plurality of intumescent members extends beyond one of a top surface of one of the second plurality of foam members, a bottom surface of one of the second plurality of foam members, or a side of one of the second plurality of foam members, the first plurality of foam members having a first plurality of foam members mechanical properly and a first plurality of foam members composition, the second plurality of foam members having a second plurality of foam members mechanical property and a second plurality of foam members composition, one of the first plurality of foam members mechanical property and the first plurality of foam members composition differing from the second plurality of foam members mechanical property and the second plurality of foam members composition.
