TITAN FOAM™ BI-CELLULAR BACKER ROD – NON-GASSING POLYETHYLENE SEALANT BACKING
Handle irregular joints with confidence using TITAN FOAM™ Bi-Cellular Backer Rod. Designed for specialty applications, this non-gassing, flexible foam provides consistent sealant depth and the ideal hourglass configuration for long-term joint performance.
KEY FEATURES
- Controls sealant depth: ensures proper joint design and reduces sealant waste
- Non-gassing performance: will not out-gas when punctured per ASTM standards
- Bi-cellular structure: combines flexibility with an impervious outer skin
- Moisture resistant: outer skin prevents water penetration
- Flexible and pliable: ideal for irregular and varying joint widths
- High recovery: maintains shape with excellent compression recovery
APPLICATIONS
- Concrete expansion and contraction joints
- Curtain wall systems
- Parking decks and pavements
- Bridge and highway construction
- Window glazing
- Log home chinking
