TrafficFlex Seal is a floor-to-floor EPDM compression seal engineered specifically for traffic-heavy horizontal expansion joints. The solid EPDM rubber profile is compressed into the floor joint to sit flush with the surface, and is specified for car parks, industrial floors, loading areas and other locations where vehicles and heavy foot traffic cross the joint repeatedly.
TrafficFlex Seal delivers a watertight and flush joint that handles repeated trafficking without lifting or splitting, while accommodating thermal and structural movement. Its weather-resistant EPDM compound shrugs off UV, ozone and rain, keeping the joint sealed and the floor surface smooth across years of demanding use.
Key Benefits
- Engineered to take heavy vehicle and foot traffic across the joint
- Sits flush with the floor for a smooth, safe driving and walking surface
- Watertight seal keeps water out of decks, basements and floors below
- Flexes with movement so repeated loading does not crack the seal
- Weather-resistant EPDM endures UV, ozone and rain on exposed decks
- Made in India by Dhawan Associates to ISO-certified quality standards
Applications
- Multi-storey and basement car park floor joints
- Industrial and warehouse floors with forklift traffic
- Loading bays and dock-leveller approach joints
- Plaza decks and trafficked podiums
- Ramp and driveway expansion joints
- Commercial floors with heavy footfall over joints
Features & Construction
- Solid EPDM rubber profile compressed into the floor joint
- Floor-to-floor horizontal orientation for trafficked joints
- Flush sealing face level with the finished floor surface
- Watertight sealing across the full joint length
- Weather, UV and ozone resistant elastomeric compound
- Designed to withstand traffic loading and continuous movement

Installation Guide
- Clean the floor joint thoroughly, removing laitance, oil and debris
- Confirm the joint gap and select the correct TrafficFlex Seal profile
- Prepare and prime the joint arrises for the floor substrate
- Apply adhesive lubricant to the seal and joint contact faces
- Compress the EPDM profile and insert it into the floor joint
- Seat the seal flush with the floor under uniform compression
- Remove surplus adhesive and inspect the joint before reopening to traffic
Maintenance & Care
TrafficFlex Seal stands up to hard use with simple maintenance. Sweep and rinse the joint to clear grit, oil and debris that traffic deposits, keeping the seal flush and clean. Inspect trafficked joints regularly, particularly at turning points, ramps and braking zones where loads concentrate.
Check that the EPDM remains compressed and flush, has not been dragged or lifted by tyres, and that the sealing face is free of cuts and tears. The compound resists weather without coating; any worn or damaged section can be cut out and re-fitted to restore the watertight line. Dhawan Associates supplies matching replacement profiles.
FAQs
TrafficFlex Seal — Frequently Asked Questions
What is TrafficFlex Seal?
TrafficFlex Seal is a Dseal floor-to-floor EPDM compression seal built for traffic-heavy horizontal expansion joints. It compresses into the joint to give a flush, watertight seal that withstands repeated trafficking.
What material is TrafficFlex Seal made from?
It is made from solid EPDM rubber, chosen for its resistance to weather, UV, ozone and water and its ability to flex under load. Dseal manufactures it in India.
Which joint type does TrafficFlex Seal suit?
It is designed for horizontal floor-to-floor expansion joints, specifically those in traffic-heavy locations such as car parks, industrial floors and loading areas.
Can TrafficFlex Seal take vehicle traffic?
Yes. It is engineered for traffic-heavy joints and withstands repeated vehicle and heavy foot loading without lifting or splitting, while staying flush with the floor.
Is TrafficFlex Seal watertight?
Yes. When compressed into the joint it forms a watertight barrier, protecting decks, basements and the levels below from water ingress through the floor joint.
Does TrafficFlex Seal sit flush with the floor?
Yes. It is designed to seat flush with the finished floor, giving a smooth, safe surface for vehicles and pedestrians crossing the joint.
Is TrafficFlex Seal weather resistant?
Yes. The EPDM compound resists UV, ozone and rain, so it performs on exposed external decks and ramps as well as covered floors.
How much movement does TrafficFlex Seal accommodate?
As a compression seal it flexes as the joint opens and closes with thermal and structural movement. The movement range depends on the profile size chosen for the gap.
How is TrafficFlex Seal installed?
The floor joint is cleaned and prepared, lubricant adhesive is applied, and the EPDM profile is compressed and inserted flush into the joint before the floor is reopened to traffic.
Does TrafficFlex Seal need maintenance?
Very little. Sweep and rinse the joint regularly and inspect trafficked areas. The EPDM needs no coating, and worn lengths can be cut out and replaced.
What standards back TrafficFlex Seal?
It is made by Dhawan Associates, certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 for quality, environmental and occupational safety management.
How is TrafficFlex Seal different from SealMaster-H?
Both are horizontal EPDM seals, but TrafficFlex Seal is engineered specifically for traffic-heavy floor joints, whereas SealMaster-H covers general floor and wall joints.
Are custom sizes of TrafficFlex Seal available?
Yes. Dseal makes profiles to suit different floor joint widths and traffic conditions. Contact Dhawan Associates with your gap and loading details for the right size.
Is TrafficFlex Seal suitable for car parks?
Yes. Car park decks, ramps and basement floors are core applications, where it provides a flush, watertight, trafficable joint seal.
Who manufactures TrafficFlex Seal?
TrafficFlex Seal is manufactured in India by Dhawan Associates under the Dseal brand, a leading manufacturer of expansion joint systems and covers.
