Brief description of the product
Characteristics
No. of anchors
The TRANSFLEX system consists of rubber moulded

modules reinforced with steel.
TRANSFLEX is supplied in modules of a specified length
and are anchored to both sides of the structural joint. .
There is a wide range of modules that absorb movements up
to 330 mm in length, including those produced by skew
joints. Their main functions are to absorb these movements,
ensure quiet traffic and provide effective sealing of the joint
on the road surface.

In 1964 the American rubber manufacturer General Tire

developed a system of expansion joints for bridges called
TRANSFLEX. It registered the patent of invention and
the trademark worldwide.
In 1971 the Expandite Division carried out the first
installation in Spain with TRANSFLEX material (BailenFerraz flyover in Madrid). In 1997 the Trelleborg Group
integrated the Expandite Division into its organisation.
At the present time Trelleborg IESA, a company within the
TRELLEBORG Group, has the rights of ownership of the
trademark, manufacture and distribution, which are carried
out through its Expandite Division.
