Modular fire barrier expansion joints: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Structural thermal movement causes catastrophic fatigue and joint failure in infrastructure. Modular interlocking components provide scalable displacement control and structural continuity.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Modular fire barrier expansion joints?

Structural joint fire penetration

(5)evidences

Unprotected gaps in building structures allow rapid spread of heat and flame. Preventing thermal breach at expansion points ensures building integrity during fire events.

Structural joint thermal failure

(3)evidences

Unprotected gaps in structural assemblies allow uncontrolled heat transfer and fire spread. Eliminating these thermal weak points prevents catastrophic structural failure during high-heat events.
