Application

  • For structural expansion joints in concrete, brickwork and blockwork.
  • For forming isolation joints for machine bases or similar applications.
  • Can also be used on internal finishes as a gap filler or backing filler to walls, pipes, kitchen and sanitary ware before sealing with a surface sealant.

Description

A low density, compressible, closed cell polyethylene filler. primarily. The closed cell construction also prevents moisture absorption.


Features and benefits:

  • Accepts temperature cycles with minimal load transfer.
  • Prevents water absorption.
  • 90% recovery after release of load.
  • Inert to most dilute acids and alkalis.
  • Resistant to oil and hydrocarbons.
  • Can be cut with a sharp knife.
  • Economical in use.
  • Available in a range of sizes with rip-off edge to form neat sealant rebate.
