Hot Rod Backer Rod

Basic Use: HOT ROD XL is an ideal compressible and non-absorbent backup material that is inserted into a joint to control sealant depth. This creates a backstop to facilitate accurate sealant tooling and proper sealant wetting of the joint surfaces, yielding a quality bond breaker between the backup material and the sealant. HOT ROD XL can also be used as a temporary joint seal.

Specific Uses: HOT ROD XL is suitable for use in contraction and expansion joints of concrete highways, runways, driveways and parking lots.

Compatibility: HOT ROD XL is compatible with most hot pour sealants, rubber-asphalt and coal tar-rubber polymer thermoplastic compounds up to a maximum temperature of 410°F.
