Joint Fillers & Sealants
Joints fail before floors do. Every unfilled control joint is an edge waiting for a hard wheel — MavJoint JF semi-rigid joint filler supports that edge, protects the shoulders, and seals the slab clean.
The First Place a Floor Fails
Hard polyurethane forklift wheels concentrate enormous load on a contact patch the size of a coin. When that wheel crosses an open joint, the unsupported edge chips — and every pass makes it worse. MavJoint JF transfers that load across the joint instead of into it.
MavJoint JF is a two-component joint filler — an accessory to every Maverick floor system, not a system of its own. We honor every existing joint: each is marked, saw-cut through the installed Maverick system, fitted with backer rod, and filled with flexible joint sealant. Rigid enough to support wheel loads, flexible enough to tolerate normal slab movement — and every control, expansion, and isolation joint gets filled, without exception.
Why Facilities Specify MavJoint JF
- Protects joint shoulders from hard-wheel impact and progressive spalling.
- Honors every joint — marked, saw-cut through the installed system, backer rod set, flexible sealant filled.
- Seals out washdown water, fines, and bacteria in sanitary environments.
- Fast turnaround — shave in under two hours, traffic the same shift.
- Performs in freezers and ambient slabs alike, −20 °F to 140 °F service.
- Six standard colors to match the slab, the coating, or the brand.

Every Component, Documented
The products that make up the system, what each one does, and where to get its technical data. Components are supplied as factory-batched kits and installed by Maverick crews per the project specification.

Six Colors. Every Slab Covered.
From bare gray concrete to pigmented MavCoat finishes, one of the six standard MavJoint JF colors will read as part of the floor. Custom colors available on volume orders.
- Black High-traffic aisles, dark slabs
- Concrete Gray Matches cured bare concrete
- Dovetail Gray Mid-tone for sealed slabs
- Gauntlet Gray Deep gray, hides tire marking
- Intellectual Gray Warm gray for light interiors
- Warmstone Pairs with Sandstone finishes
On-screen swatches are CSS approximations. Request a physical color card for final selection — cured color varies with lighting and slab tone.
