Systems and methods of forming a profile element for sealing a metal deck

Abstract

A method of manufacturing includes providing a continuous flat cover to an assembly line, where the assembly line includes a conveying means. The method also includes applying a flowable reaction material continuously to the flat cover, where the reaction mixture is configured to expand within the flat cover. The method also includes welding the continuous flat cover around the reaction mixture to form an initial profile element. The method also includes cutting the initial profile element, continuously along the assembly line, to form one or more profile elements. Each of the one or more profile elements is a portion of the initial profile element, and each of the one or more profile elements includes a geometry for conforming with a construction component.
