    NEO BACKER ROD is a closed cell polyethylene foam used as a bond breaker and joint profile former for elastomeric sealants in expansion joints. It is compressible, compatible with sealants, and will not absorb water or offgas. NEO BACKER ROD comes in varying diameters to be used in joints between 4mm and 70mm wide and provides a convex surface for sealants. It is suitable for use in construction joints in buildings, bridges, and external walls.
