Supplier's note
-
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.
-
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.
