Seal Back - Up Rods & Sheets

Surface expansion & contraction problems

It is now a standard construction practice to make allowance for surface /structural expansion & contraction due to changes in weather conditions

Expansion joints minimize impact of daily/seasonal fluctuations in temperature, but require adequate "sealing" and treatment in their own right

EPE Backup rods are ideally suited to this task.

Available in a wide range of "thickness " or diameter sizes, EPE Back -Up Rods are easy to install, require no maintenance and provide highly effective sealing under all conditions,

A snug - fit Rod (made possible by using a Back - Up Rod of diameter 25% larger than the width of the Joint's cavity) adequately negotiates the expansion/contraction during summer/ winter, without compromising on the sealing. The Rod's inherent elasticity and elongation compensates for any structural "movements" of the joint.

Once properly installed, EPE Backup Rods also act as a barrier against leaks, seepage and moisture penetration

Features

• Lightweight and durable
• Easy to install
• Chemically inert
• Highly resilient & shock absorbent
• Excellent elongation & tensile strength
• Moisture and heat resistant
• Overall economy

Applications
EPE Backup Rods & Sheets can be used as sealant or gasket material in diverse areas:

• Expansion joints in roofs, bridges, tunnels, etc
• Joints on Rods, runways, canal linings, reservoirs, etc
• Reinforcement for glass in window frames
