Description
- Proper Joint Construction - Joint Backing Closed cell or reticulated polyethylene backer rod is recommended as joint backing to control sealant depth and to ensure intimate contact of sealant with joint walls when tooling.
- All backing should be dry at time of sealant application
- - The minimum width and depth of any sealant application should be 1/4" x 1/4" (6 mm x 6 mm)
- The depth (D) of sealant may be equal to the width (W) of joints that are less than 1/2" (13 mm) wide
- For joints ranging from 1/2" to 1" (13 mm to 25 mm) wide, the sealant depth should be approximately one-half of the joint width. The maximum depth (D) of any sealant application should be 1/2" (13 mm)
Includes 90 lineal feet of 1/2 inch closed cell backer rod which is necessary for proper joint construction. Vulkem 116 is an excellent general purpose sealant designed for use on poured and precast concrete, masonry work, window and door perimeters, and similar types of construction joints. Color: WHITE
