Polyethylene Foam Backer Rods

Polyethylene foam backer rods can be used in various building and construction projects. It is mostly used for filling gaps or joints where materials come together. This foam is used to fill the void spaces which is then coated with sealant to create a watertight and airtight seal.

One of the most important applications of polyethylene foam rod is that it controls the sealant depth, insulates the underside of the sealant, and allows proper tooling and wetting of joint surfaces.
Using polyethylene foam rod in construction projects speeds up curing times and allows the building materials to flex, move and bend in response to environmental factors.

Polyethylene foam rod applications include:

• Glazing Operations
• Window and Door Applications
• Expansion Joints
• Log Construction
• Partitions
• Pavement Joints
