    Jointflex Backer Rod is a closed cell polyethylene material used in expansion joints. It provides support to joint sealants by filling the joint and acting as a bond breaker to prevent the sealant from adhering to the top of joints. Backer rods are non-absorbent, UV resistant, weatherable, and lightweight. They are available in various diameters and square sizes to suit different joint widths, and are compressed 20-25% smaller than the joint during installation. Square backer rods with adhesive backing are adhered directly to concrete elements before sealant application.

    Product Applications.
    Jointflex Backer Rod’s are used in joints in pre-cast and cast-in-situ concrete elements to give
    support to the joint sealant application, aid in the correct joint sealant geometry (application
    depth and shape) and prevent the joint sealant from adhering to the top of the expansion
    joint filler board (3-way bonding), acting as a bond breaker.

    Product Advantages.
    Non-absorbent Lightweight
    Excellent weather ability Resistant to ultraviolet light

    Available Sizes.
    Jointflex Backer Rod’s are available in a number of different diameters and also available in
    square section sizes to suit your requirement. Square sections are available with or without an
    adhesive face (refer to table over leaf).

    Installation.
    Choose a diameter or square section which is approximately 20% to 25% bigger than the
    actual joint size so it can be compressed to fit inside the joint leaving a tight and firm fit. Apply
    the backer rod to your specified depth for the sealant application.

    For square sections, which have a self-adhesive side, the surface must be clean, dry and free
    from dust. The adhesive paper is removed prior to the application and the seal is placed onto
    the pre-cast or first concrete element. All joins must be placed by butting firmly together.

    Jointflex Backer Rod’s are available in roll lengths for round shapes and available in lengths of
    1 metre, 1.5 metre and 2 metre for square sections.

    Standard diameter sizes are 6mm up to 80mm.
