Closed Cell Foam Backer Rod / Backing Rod / Caulk Saver Foam Rope for Construction Joints

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Sealing & Insulation: Designed to fill gaps in construction joints, providing a flexible barrier against water, air, and debris while allowing movement between structural elements.
  • Caulk Substrate: Acts as a base for sealants, reducing material waste and ensuring even application (hence "Caulk Saver").

Key features

  • 1. Material Technology

  • With closed-cell plastic foam material, ensure moisture resistance and eco-friendly durability. The closed-cell structure prevents water penetration while maintaining flexibility, making it ideal for sealing construction joints in hospitals and buildings.

  • 2. Interactive Design

  • With a flexible, lightweight design, easily maneuver into tight joints for precise application. The rollable cylindrical format simplifies storage and installation, reducing labor effort compared to rigid backer rods*.

  • 3. Performance Parameters

  • Lightweight construction, up to 20% lighter than traditional backer rods*, reduces labor effort while maintaining structural integrity under temperature fluctuations. Compatible with various joint widths and expansion/contraction needs.

  • 4. Scenario Solutions

  • Designed for hospital and commercial building joints, providing long-lasting seals in high-moisture or high-traffic environments. The eco-friendly plastic composition avoids chemical off-gassing, aligning with healthcare safety standards.

  • 5. Certification Standards

  • Eco-friendly plastic composition meets environmental safety certifications* [*Disclaimer: Certifications subject to manufacturer confirmation]. The material’s non-toxic properties comply with building codes for healthcare and residential applications.

Supplier's note

  1. Three Breakthroughs:

    • Closed-cell structure: Prevents moisture ingress, ideal for hospital bathrooms.
    • Lightweight design: Reduces labor effort by 20% compared to traditional foam rods.
    • Triple chemical resistance (Pro Model): Safely handles disinfectants in healthcare settings.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Suitable for standard residential or commercial buildings with moderate environmental exposure.
    • Advanced Model: Recommended for hospitals needing enhanced durability and UV stability (e.g., outdoor expansion joints).
    • Pro Model: Optimal for industrial facilities requiring extreme chemical resistance and long-term UV stability.

With the Pro Model’s triple chemical resistance, you can safely seal joints exposed to harsh disinfectants. Pair it with its UV-resistant coating to ensure longevity in outdoor applications. For hospitals, the Advanced Model’s 1000-hour UV stability meets strict maintenance schedules.
