CHEMITOOL PE Backer Rod is a non-cross-linked polyethylene foam joint backer rod specially designed for use as a depth stop in all types of cold expansion/dilation seals and joints (up to +90°C). 

Description

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Being a PE-based material, it is an inert product with high resistance to chemical agents
  • Compatible with all types of sealants
  • Prevents adhesion of the sealant to the bottom of the joint, promoting proper sealant behaviour
  • Environmentally friendly: free of CFC, HCFC and chemical elements
  • 100% recyclable
  • Flexible material, light and easy to install
  • Its fine cell structure and closed cells offer an excellent barrier effect and do not absorb water
  • Standard colour – grey
  • Volume: Box with coil – 60x58x58 cm; Box with 2m pieces: 204x41x62 cm

This material meets the technical specifications required in DIN 18540 and ASTM C1330 standards on filler materials for cold joint sealing.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place between +5°C and +25°C, away from sources of heat and moisture. Shelf life: due to its inertness and chemical stability it can be stored practically indefinitely.

APLICACIONES

APPLICATIONS
Pre-filling of joints ensuring the correct performance of the sealant in various types of joints, such as expansion joints in general masonry, watertight joints, exterior joints in walls/façades/floors, prefabricated elements, etc. It can be used in glazing in general, fixing the glass in partition window frames and at the same time serving as a limiter for the application of sealant in cases where this is necessary.

METHOD OF APPLICATION

PREPARATION

  • The surfaces must be very clean and dry, degreased and free of friable particles that could hinder adherence.

APPLICATION

  • Check which diameter to use using the rule that the bead diameter should be approximately 25% larger than the maximum width of the joint to be sealed.
  • Place the cord by hand or with the help of a blunt object, compressing the cord in such a way as to keep it immobilised.
