SKU
PEF25080
- Pack Quantity: 1
PEF closed cell backer rod is manufactured in New Zealand, from high quality closed cell, Low Density Polyethylene foam. It is a circular joint backing material, primarily for use in conjunction with elastomeric sealants.
USES
Backer rod is rolled into joint gaps at a consistent depth to form a firm base for controlling the depth of gun applied elastomeric sealants. Backer rod is used for forming the base of vertical and horizontal joints typically found in the following applications:
- Joints between precast concrete panels
- Expansion joints between bricks and masonry
- Saw cut joints in concrete floors
- Backing for joints and changes in direction in tiled surfaces
- Around penetrations through walls and floor
- Perimeter joints around timber and aluminium windows and doors
- As draught or dust proofing stop in applications where elastomeric sealing is not required
CHARACTERISTICS
- Weather resistant*
- Closed cell – no water absorption
- Sealants do not adhere to PE foam
- Allows sealant to adhere on 2 faces so sealant has unrestricted movement
- Nontoxic, suitable for applications in food preparation areas
- Easy to install
- Wide range of sizes available
- Resistant to most chemicals
- Easily compressible, good rebound expansion
- Extremely light weight
*PE Backer rod does not contain UV inhibitors; it is therefore not designed for extended exposure (>6 months) to UV light.
