Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Sealing and Insulation in Construction: Designed to fill gaps, joints, and seams in construction projects, providing a flexible barrier for sealants while offering thermal and acoustic insulation.
  • Eco-Friendly Material: Made from EPE polyethylene foam, which is lightweight, shock-absorbent, and recyclable, reducing environmental impact.

Key features

  • 1. Eco-Friendly Material Technology

  • With eco-friendly EPE polyethylene foam, reduce environmental impact while ensuring durability for building applications. This recyclable material outperforms traditional non-recyclable foams, aligning with sustainable construction practices.*

  • 2. Flexible Cylindrical Design for Easy Customization

  • With a soft, cylindrical foam structure, easily cut and shape the backer rod to fit diverse joint sizes, offering greater adaptability than rigid or pre-formed sealing materials.*

  • 3. High-Resilience Insulation Performance

  • With EPE foam’s compression-resistant properties, maintain structural integrity under pressure, ensuring long-term waterproofing and thermal insulation in construction joints compared to lower-quality foam alternatives.

  • 4. Versatile Building Application Solutions

  • Designed for building applications, effectively seal joints in walls, roofs, and floors to prevent water ingress and air leaks, ideal for both residential and commercial projects where durability is critical.

  • 5. EPR Germany Certification for Environmental Compliance

  • With EPR Germany certification, meet strict environmental regulations for packaging and construction materials, ensuring compliance and trust in eco-conscious projects.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • EPR certification: Ensures compliance with Germany’s rigorous recycling and safety standards.
    • Enhanced compression resistance in Advanced/Pro models improves longevity in high-stress joints.
    • Customizable density allows tailored performance for gaps ranging from 20mm to 50mm.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Suitable for standard residential sealing (e.g., interior walls).
    • Advanced Model: Ideal for medium-scale commercial projects requiring 15% better compression (e.g., exterior wall joints).
    • Pro Model: Best for heavy-duty industrial use (e.g., bridge expansion joints) with triple the density of traditional foam rods, ensuring 30% higher resistance to deformation.

With the Pro Model’s premium density and EPR certification, you can guarantee safe handling of harsh environmental conditions while meeting strict sustainability targets. Pair its rigidity with its recyclable material to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
