What do swimming pool contractors use to seal joints in concrete patios that surround the pool I've seen a thick flexible compound that seems to seal the joint and allow for expansion.?

You might want to consider Deck-o-seal. It could be tricky to use if you are not familiar with the product. Follow ALL of the manufacturers instructions.

You might want to consider Deck-O-Sux, but you might actually want to use PoolSeal™ if you want a long lasting, easy to use, pool owner-friendly mastic to seal the joint and allow for expansion.

What is application of expansion joint?
Expansion joints include: PTFE expansion joint, Rubber expansion joint, Metallic expansion joint, and Fabric expansion joint. visit website: www.rubbersealing.comPTFE expansion jointThe PTFE expansion joints are unreinforced PTFE that come standard with iron 150# drill flanges. Stainless flanges are available. They are avaialable in 2, 3, or 5convolutions of varing movements. The 2-convolution joint is sometimes referred to as a "coupling".Molded flexible couplings and expansion joints of PTFEdesigned to help protect pumps, compressors and other expensive equipment.Bellows-type flexible couplings and expansion joints are contour molded of black PTFE by a patented process. They are corrosion resistant, non-aging, with extraordinary flex life and unmatched reliability. These superior units cost no more than those made of lesser materials. The flexible element is formed over the full sealing face of the end flanges eliminating troublesome separate gaskets.Note the change in pressure rating with
The gaps between the concrete sections are filled with tar The tar becomes soft when it is warm. Why is it important that the tar is soft?
Concrete expands and contracts with temperature changes. Grooves are either cut or engineered into a concrete road/sidewalk to allow for this expansion. Without them the pavement would expand and buckle (break and heave up) and cause traffic (both auto and foot) problems. However, leaving open gaps in the concrete can accelerate the deterioration of the concrete. Cracks and breaks caused by use or water/ice invasion at the edges of slab can quickly spread and cause the road to become impassable. Tar is used to fill those gaps to cushion its use (a shock absorber for sudden changes like a big truck locking its tires right on that slab) and protect from weather erosion (tar keeps water and ice from getting down between and under the slabs). The tar needs to be pliable when its hot so that the expansion of the concrete around it has something flexible to push against rather than pushing against the next section of concrete.
