Product Specification
EPE Foam Backer Rod (Expanded Polyethylene Foam Backer Rod) is a cylindrical, lightweight, and flexible foam product used mainly as a backing material in sealant joints. It is designed to control sealant depth, improve joint performance, and reduce sealant consumption in construction and industrial applications.
Material and Structure
EPE foam backer rods are made from closed-cell expanded polyethylene foam. This structure makes them non-absorbent, compressible, and durable. The closed-cell nature prevents water penetration and improves long-term joint performance.
Key Functions
