HBR Closed Cell Backer Rod

Introducing Nomaco HBR Closed Cell Backer Rod – Your Solution for Superior Concrete Construction

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Nomaco HBR Closed Cell Backer Rod is a high-performance closed-cell polyethylene foam backer rod meticulously engineered for optimal use in concrete construction projects. Designed to act as a barrier and control the depth of cold-applied sealants, Nomaco HBR ensures efficient sealant application while preventing wasteful excess usage.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

- **Superior Performance**: Nomaco HBR facilitates the ideal hourglass shape formation of cold-applied sealants, significantly prolonging the service life of the sealant. Its closed-cell structure makes it ideal for various applications including expansion and contraction joints, curtain walls, construction partitions, parking decks, and bridge construction.

- **Versatile Compatibility**: Crafted from inert materials, Nomaco HBR boasts exceptional physical and chemical compatibility with a wide array of cold-applied sealants, including self-leveling types. Sealant compatibility can be easily confirmed through ASTM C 1087 test method, ensuring seamless integration with your preferred sealant products.

- **Easy Installation**: Installing Nomaco HBR is a breeze. Simply clean the joints according to the sealant manufacturer's guidelines, ensuring the removal of any contaminants such as concrete form-release agents, curing compound residue, or foreign materials. With joints clean and dry, Nomaco HBR can be effortlessly installed to the recommended depth using a blunt tool.

- **Precision Size Selection**: Proper size selection is paramount for optimal performance. Nomaco HBR should be oversized (25-50%) to snugly fit into the joint, acting as an effective bond-breaker to prevent back-side adhesion of the sealant. Careful attention during installation ensures that the backer rod is not punctured or over-compressed, guaranteeing consistent and reliable results.

- **Quality Assurance**: Manufactured to the highest standards, Nomaco HBR Closed Cell Backer Rod undergoes rigorous quality control measures to ensure unparalleled reliability and durability in concrete construction applications. Rest assured, you're investing in a product that delivers consistent performance and longevity.
