Standard Backer Rod is an ideal non-absorbent compressible backup material for insertion into a joint to, control sealant depth, create a backstop to allow proper sealant tooling, allow proper sealant of the joint surfaces, and yield a proper bond between the back-up material and the sealant. It can also be used as a temporary joint seal.
- Commonly used for glazing operations, window and door applications, expansion joints, curtain wall joints, partitions, log construction or pavement joints.
- Standard Backer Rod is an extruded round, closed cell, low density polyethylene foam material with a skin-like outer texture. It is highly flexible and compressible for easy installation.
