Armacell Backer Rods

Backer Rods are round, flexible lengths of foam that are used as a “backing” in joints or cracks to help control the amount of sealant used or the depth of the sealant in the gap.

At We-Haul we stock quality Armacell Backer rods,
Armacell Backer Rods are NON HAZARDOUS polyethylene extruded foam products made from polyethylene resin, additives and Isobutane, which do not exhibit any significant biodegradation.
Armacell Backer Rods meets or exceeds the ASTM International standards ( American Society for Testing and Materials).

FillPro™ Standard Backer Rod

FillPro Standard Backer Rod is an extruded round, closed cell, low density polyethylene foam material with a skin-like outer texture. Standard backer rod is non-absorbent, flexible and compressible allowing for easy installation in joints as a backup material for sealants.

APPLICATIONS
Commonly used in glazing installations, window and door applications, expansion joints, curtain wall joints, partitions, log construction, pavement joints, repairs, pre-cast units and copings.

BENEFITS

FillPro Standard is an ideal non-absorbent backer rod used to control sealant depth and create a back stop to allow proper wetting of the joint surfaces and yield a proper bond breaker between the backer rod and the sealant. Limiting the depth of the sealant prevents excessive use, saving on caulk or sealant. Standard backer rod can also be used as a temporary joint seal

FillPro™ Soft Type Backer Rod

FillPro Soft Type Backer Rod (formerly ITP Soft Type) is a pliable bi-cellular polyethylene foam material used for filling irregular joints. It is chemically inert and will resist oil, gasoline and most other solvents. The material will not stain, or adhere to sealant materials and is non-exuding.

APPLICATIONS
Particularly suited for specialty applications where standard backer rods are not appropriate, FillPro Soft Type is ideal in irregular joint applications particularly where self-leveling, flowable sealants are employed. Also recommended with
sealants where bubbling concerns are critical. An excellent all-purpose backerrod, it may be used in place of most standard backer rod applications

BENEFITS

FillPro Soft Type is an ideal non-absorbent backer rod used to control sealant depth and create a back stop to allow proper sealant tooling, ensure sealant adhesion to the joint surfaces only and to yield a proper bond break between backup material and sealant. Limiting the depth of the sealant prevents excessive use, saving on caulk or sealant.
