The Project
Enbi’s customer offers solutions in the commercial construction market, producing architectural building joint seals. The seals are used between two structural walls, or on cement flooring for parking garages. The seal is designed to expand and contract, as the building reacts to the changes in temperature that occur during the day and from season to season. The seal also has to be able to accommodate large movements caused by thermal expansion as well as being able to handle cleaning chemicals, UV and ozone as well as mechanical damage.
The History
Current joint seals are made using foams that are impregnated with an acrylic “wax”. The main problem with the wax is that it can heat up in hot desert climates (such as Nevada, Arizona, California and others) during the hot summer months and the wax “bleeds out” of the joints onto below areas of the structure in parking garages. The bleeding can be unsightly and also is detrimental to the performance of seal in the long run.
Our Approach
Enbi 的客户正在寻找一种替代解决方案来解决“渗漏”问题，并提高密封件在使用中的整体性能。Enbi 的解决方案是寻找能够提供相同性能水平但不进行蜡浸渍的材料配方。另一个好处是，Enbi 密封件无需预压缩即可供应，从而节省了密封件到达现场后安装人员的时间。
好处
使用无蜡配方为客户和最终用户带来了显著的好处。主要的好处是密封件的使用寿命大大提高，特别是在高温和高温应用中。这意味着相同的密封件可以在世界各地使用，从而大大减少了需要储存的 SKU 数量。此外，由于密封件更容易安装，现场安装时间减少，从而为安装人员节省了成本。
