Composite expansion joint material

摘要

A flexible composite expansion joint material comprises a fluoropolymer containing woven fabric substrate with mutually perpendicular warp and fill yarns. The substrate is subdivided into plural segments which are arranged successively in a longitudinally extending assembly with the warp and fill yarns of each segment extending obliquely with respect to the assembly length. At least one other component extends over the assembly length. The successively arranged substrate segments are spliced together and integrally joined to the other component by lamination under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure.
