Closed cell polyethylene joint filler External walling and cladding

Expandafoam is used as a readily compressible, low load
Uses transfer joint filler in joints surrounding brick infill panel walling.
Expandafoam is a closed-cell polyethylene joint filler for use It is also used as a gap filler, back-up strip and bond breaker
as an expansion joint filler in brick and blockwork, isolation to fill open joints in panel construction to provide support for
joints and hinge joints where a readily compressible low load joint sealants.
transfer joint filler is required.
Expandafoam is also used as back-up strips for elastomeric Compression joint in brick infill panel
sealants placed in joints of concrete floors subject to foot traffic
and light wheel loads.
For joints subject to heavy loads or joints in water retaining
structures Hydrocell should be used (see separate Technical
Data Sheet).
