CRL 1/4" Closed Cell Backer Rod - 100' Roll - EF14C

SKU: EF14C
Regular price $22.75

Product Overview

The CRL Closed Cell Backer Rod is a highly effective product designed to provide optimal support and thickness control for elastomeric and cold-applied sealants. This round, flexible, closed-cell polyethylene foam with an exterior "skin" is specifically engineered to become an integral part of the joint, offering a range of diameters to accommodate joints from 3/16" to 1-5/8" (5 to 41 mm).

The Backer Rod's unique design limits the depth of the sealant, preventing excessive use and promoting proper joint design. Its non-bonding "skin" allows the rod to stretch and recover with joint movement, minimizing stress at the points of adhesion to the substrate.

To emphasize, 100" increments of backer rod do not come on a roll. Should you require a roll, please note that the minimum order is 2000'.

Key Features:

  • Enables precise control of sealant application thickness.
  • Does not adhere to sealants; no bond breaker is needed.
  • Compatible with all cold-applied sealants.
Product Warning: Please be extremely cautious not to tear, puncture, crease, compress, or stretch the backer rod during insertion. Always ensure the correct size is used for the particular application by referring to the size selection chart. Moreover, it's crucial to avoid using hot-applied sealants or hot melt adhesives if their surface temperature exceeds 160ºF (71ºC).
