Hercuslip Composite (HSC)

Slipjoints

Hercuslip Composite (HSC)

Hercuslip Composite (HSC) has been developed to fill the need for a reliable, easily applied slipjoint material on load bearing brickwork and under concrete slabs (see Fig 1-1). It is specifically designed to centralise loads and accommodate initial shrinkage and subsequent thermal movement. It is ideal for post-tensioned and cast in-situ slabs.

Materials

Stainless steel sheet sliding against a Hercuflon coated natural rubber strip

Types

Five basic types of HSC are available (see Table 1-1). Each of these types can be provided in a variety of overall widths and expansion capacities.
