Poly-Tron Elastomeric Concrete
A flexible yet tough polyurethane elastomeric concrete ideal for expansion joint edges.
Flexible Expansion Joint Edge
Poly-Tron is an easy to mix, three component, modified polyurethane elastomeric concrete. The material is used primarily for expansion joint edges. It has excellent adhesion to various substrates, is flexible yet tough and provides excellent impact resistance.
Ultimate Resistance
Poly-Tron is resistant to ultraviolet and ozone exposure, as well as solvents, chemicals and moisture. It also resists freeze-thaw changes and thermal shock. Overall, Poly-Tron is a high-quality, economical elastomeric solution for multiple applications.
Poly-Tron Uses
Poly-Tron reduces the need for expensive and cumbersome steel angles, even on high volume and/or high speed highway bridges. The elastomeric joint edge material is designed for new construction and rehabilitation projects. Since many joint seals are incompatible with asphalt, Poly-Tron is an ideal application for overlayed bridges.
- Expansion joint edge material for bridges with and without overlays
- Replacing the blockout area when removing failed molded rubber joints or metallic armored joints
- Flexible nosing material for metallic expansion joint assemblies
- A patching compound for spalls in concrete deck surfaces
Installing Poly-Tron Elastomeric Concrete
After surface preparation and priming, the elastomeric concrete installation time is about 3-5 minutes per kit. The lane can be reopened to traffic 1-5 hours after installation depending on temperature.

Featured Project
I-95 over the Meherrin River – Emporia, VA
Emergency repair when existing bolt down joints had failed. Poly-Tron Elastomeric Concrete was used to rebuild the headers along with 100 LF of Silicoflex SF325 to provide a water tight, long lasting, low maintenance joint system.
