Everbuild Foam Sealant Joint Backer Rod 20mm x 10 Metre

Product Information

Backer Rod is an integral component of sealant joints, it provides three main functions that allow the sealant joint to perform. the sealant is pushed to the bond line with a spatula, ensuring wet-out of the sealant to the substrate. It is inserted into a joint to control sealant depth and create a backstop to allow appropriate sealant tooling. You’ll find highly protective and resistant paints for external walls and wall paints with specialist properties such as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal protection for interior walls – Polycote can help.

Top tip - if you have a newish house or extension, then frequently the plasterboard has been dot and dabbed against the brickwork but not sealed effectively. Bond-It De-Bond Mate is A non-drip gel formula for the complete removal of cured silicone sealant, particularly when silicone has been accidentally smeared over glass, ceramics or countertops. Damp Proofing At Polycote over the years we have developed an all inclusive range of tough, long-lasting wall paints and repairs for any application. Polyethylene foam, Archivally safe, closed cell, is now available as extruded rods of 20mm diameter. It allows the volume of sealant or mastic used to be minimized and reduce overall cost as well as allowing the user to obtain the optimum sealant shape or design, which prevents joint failure.

The ends of adjoining rods and at detailing locations such as corners must be in tight contact with each other to maintain maximum fire resistance. These products can help to ensure that the joint is properly sealed and protected from moisture, air, and other elements that can cause damage over time. Don’t think I could ask for more and I’ll certainly be using Sealant supplies again, what a great find. We work with architects, specifiers, civil engineers, builders and distributors, to achieve the right solution to any structural detail.

Closed cell backer rod is a round, flexible, closed cell polyethylene foam with an exterior "skin" used as a backing and thickness control device for elastomeric and other cold-applied sealants. Select a backer-rod diameter that is approximately 15 to 25% larger than the width of the joint to give a firm base. Products arrived in good time and perfect for the job, a fungicidal wash to help keep moss off the roof. Strip of 100m of 12mm x 12mm square polyethene foam joint filler and backing for sealants and acoustic applications.I bought some expanding foam and, if you’re reading this you probably know the differences in quality of this kind of product. It expands on application to yield up to 50 times the can content and meets the extremely stringent requirements of the test criteria DIN 4102 Part 1 for Construction Materials; Class B1 and BS 476 Part 20. If you are suffering from oil, chemical contamination or rising damp issues, it is vital you seal the surface with a suitable primer. Use hot glue or heat from hot air blower to form and seal this all-purpose material to a suitable shape and form.

Suitable for horizontal and vertical joints, sealing of internal wall joints, draft proofing and sealing windows. To install the rod, you can use your fingers or a smooth rounded ended tool to push it into the gap, leaving the finished surface approximately 5-mm back from the front edge of the face of the gap, to allow the silicone to adhere to both the rod and the two edges of the structure it has been injected into.

Backer-rod, is a closed cell polyethylene foam cord in varying diameters from 6mm up to 75mm (larger sizes run on request) Used behind sealants and mastics in expansion joints. metres will generally go around either the opening door sash or, alternatively, the outer frame of a standard size Upvc door system.
