Everbuild Foam Sealant Joint Backer Rod 10mm x 10 Metre

Product Information

Because the sealant will not bond to the "skin" of the rod, it can stretch and recover with joint movement, with minimal stress being put on the points of adhesion to the substrate. Bond-It GP200 is a multi-purpose, low modulus silicone rubber sealant with fungicide, suitable for most sealing jobs around the home. The primary purpose of backer rod is to control the depth of the sealant and prevent it from bonding too deeply into the joint. 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.

Foam Sealant Joint Backer Rod – non-absorbent compressible grey closed cell polyethene foam backup material. I’ve also started to use spare parts of these foam strips for other DIY repair jobs where two part wood filled had to be supported from the inside of a half-rotten wooden door. Our products are high-quality and designed to provide long-lasting results, ensuring that construction projects are completed to the highest standard. As such it is an effective way of working, and a much more cost efficient manner with respect of sealant or filler used.Closed-cell backer rods should not be used with sealants that cure by reacting with moisture in the air because the closed cells will not allow air in from the back of the sealant bead, in turn retarding the cure. I realise it’s intended purpose is for back filling before using a product like silicone but it’s also good for filling gaps such as between floorboards to reduce gaps. The sound resistance classification of the FR Foam is 58dB at a depth of 10 cm, which may solve some construction industry problems.

Fantastic Company with just about possible colour Sealant you could ever want and a really wide range of products available. It is important to avoid over-compressing the backer rod, as this can cause it to lose its shape and affect the performance of the sealant. Promotes an hour glass shape, this maximizes the bond area but keeps the depth of sealant consistent in the middle allowing for movement. The width of the gaps differs somewhat but I was able to squeeze in the foam with a screwdriver after which the sealing/filling was quite easily done.

Without tooling, the bond area between the sealant and the sides of the joint may not be sufficient to prevent the sealant from pulling away from the sides of the joint. On one occasion we used it to stop wood filler from falling through and have since used it by itself to fill gaps. Tooling also helps protect the weathertightness of the joint by eliminating air pockets created behind the sealant during gunning. the sealant is pushed to the bond line with a spatula, ensuring wet-out of the sealant to the substrate.

Everbuild Firefoam B2 Handheld is a quick setting one part polyurethane foam with fire resistance properties. This allows the sealant to maintain its flexibility and stability over time, avoiding cracking or breaking under pressure.The rod should be inserted into the joint, pushing it down until it reaches the bottom of the joint. Backing rod for fire resistant joint sealing in horizontal and vertical building structure applications.

Due to covid and new contactless deliveries, our carriers will not require a signature but will take down the recipients name as POD. Compatible with all know types of sealants to control the depth of the sealant in proper relation to joint width. When applying the sealant, it is important to use the right tools and materials, such as a silicone gun or a sealing tool, to ensure that the sealant is distributed evenly and adheres properly to the surfaces of the joint. Once the backer rod has been installed, it should be left in place for a few hours to allow it to settle into the joint. It is inserted into a joint to control sealant depth and create a backstop to allow appropriate sealant tooling.Reference must be made to limitations regarding dimensions and configuration described in the ETA 23/0088. For joints with significant width variation along the length, TP300 Joint Backer Plus is recommended.
