Polyethylene rope (Backing Rod) is an ideal and professional solution for filling expansion joints and construction gaps before applying insulating materials (silicone or mastic). It is made of flexible cylindrical polyethylene foam to provide the necessary support for the insulating material and control its depth, ensuring a tight and long-lasting seal.
Key Features:
-
Professional Filling: Ideal for filling expansion joints and cracks to ensure the correct amount of sealant is used.
-
High Flexibility: Flexible cylindrical design makes it easy to insert and shape into gaps of various sizes.
-
Versatile: Used as a primary filler before silicone, and can also be used to seal holes resulting from the installation of TopDek panels.
-
Chemical Resistance: Polyethylene material is chemically inert and does not react with most types of sealants.
-
Cost Savings: Reduces the amount of insulating material consumed by filling deep gaps.
