Product Description
The provided Supreme Non-Bituminous Joint Filler Rods are alkali resistant and closed cell polymer filler for RCC slabs, columns, walls, and beams. Their superior recovery properties make it an ideal product for this purpose. These rods are manufactured specifically for use as expansion fillers in structures. Our Supreme Non-Bituminous Joint Filler Rods are well-known that elastomeric goods provide excellent cushioning. These made up of hundreds of cells trapped within the foam, reinforced with a high-quality polymer that helps it withstand all forms of applied pressure. Additionally, high performance foam serves as a sound barrier and is an excellent sound absorbent material.

FAQs of Supreme Non Bituminous Joint Filler Rods:
Q: How should Supreme Non Bituminous Joint Filler Rods be installed in expansion joints?
A: Installation typically involves press-fitting the rods into the expansion joint using manual placement or powered joint filling equipment. The rod should fit snugly to prevent movement and provide a base for the joint sealant, ensuring proper depth and function as a bond breaker.
Q: What are the main benefits of using closed cell polyethylene foam in these rods?
A: Closed cell polyethylene foam makes the rods highly resilient, flexible, non-absorbent, and chemically inert. This composition guarantees durability, excellent chemical resistance, superior insulation, and prevents moisture ingress, ensuring longevity and consistent performance in various applications.
Q: Where can Supreme Non Bituminous Joint Filler Rods be applied?
A: These filler rods are used in expansion joints found in concrete pavements, bridges, walls, flooring, water tanks, runways, and other structures requiring movement accommodation. Their compatibility with a variety of construction settings ensures reliable joint performance.
Q: What makes these rods suitable for use in extreme temperatures?
A: They retain stability and functional integrity across a broad temperature range from -40C to +70C. This allows safe and reliable use in both cold and hot climates, contributing to their versatility in different geographic regions.
Q: When should joint filler rods be placed in the construction process?
A: Joint filler rods should be installed before applying joint sealant, once the joints are properly formed and cleaned. This pre-sealing step ensures correct sealant positioning and prevents three-sided adhesion, enhancing overall joint durability.
Q: What is the packaging and shelf life of the product?
A: The rods are typically supplied bundled in rolls or straight lengths, with customizable diameters and lengths to suit project needs. Thanks to their closed cell structure and chemically inert nature, they exhibit a long shelf life without degradation under proper storage conditions.
