Description
Kool-Rod is a closed cell, polyethylene, flexible, rope-like foam joint backing material.
This material is virtually non-absorbent and chemically inert to most solvents. Kool-Rod will not stain or adhere to sealant materials. It is fully compatible with acrylic, butyl, polyurethane, polysulfide, silicone, and most other cold-applied sealant compounds.
Kool-Rod is specifically designed as a compressible backing material to be used in conjunction with a wide variety of cold-applied joint sealants.
Product Features
- Controls depth of sealant to ensure proper joint design ratio
- Forces sealant against joint sidewalls to provide maximum sidewall adhesion
- Sealants will not adhere to Kool-Rod, which eliminates three-sided joint adhesion failure
- Made using closed-cell foam technology that does not allow air or moisture entrapment
- Easily compressible, lightweight
- Installs quickly, stays in place
