# What is the installation depth of a Delastic Preformed Pavement Seal in a runway/roadway concrete deck?

## Delastic Preformed Pavement Seals are extruded from compounds of neoprene (polychloroprene) which meet or exceed current ASTM standard specifications.

**The seal should be installed at a depth of 3/16" plus or minus a 1/16". 1/8" below on a beveled joint plus or minus a 1/16" (this is the Army Corps of Engineers standards).**

### Delastic Preformed Pavement Seal Advantages:

- Dramatic reduction in concrete joint spalling
- Ability to seal joints even when moisture is present
- Resistance to jet fuel and other harsh chemicals
- Speed of installation
- Clean
- Easily inspected

Finding a pavement seal that withstands the harsh, high-impact nature of airport runways and highways is a challenge that engineers have long had. Delastic Preformed Pavement Seals meets the challenge and provides a reliable solution with a proven track record.
