Aerofil® 1 - 10mm
Low density, compressible, closed cell polyethylene filler for structural expansion joints and building facades.
Application
- For structural expansion joints in concrete, brickwork and blockwork.
- For forming isolation joints for machine bases or similar applications.
- Can also be used on internal finishes as a gap filler or backing filler to walls, pipes, kitchen and sanitary ware before sealing with a surface sealant.
Description
Aerofil® 1 is a white, inert, preformed, closed cell, polyethylene joint filler suitable for structural movement joints in concrete, brick and blockwork.Aerofil 1’s low compressive strength prevents the transfer of load across joint interfaces and makes it ideal for forming soft compression joints and expansion joints in brickwork facades as recommended by BS 5628: Part 3: 1985 Use of Masonry Clause 20.4
A low density, compressible, closed cell polyethylene filler. primarily. The closed cell construction also prevents moisture absorption.
Features and benefits:
- Accepts temperature cycles with minimal load transfer.
- Prevents water absorption.
- 90% recovery after release of load.
- Inert to most dilute acids and alkalis.
- Resistant to oil and hydrocarbons.
- Can be cut with a sharp knife.
- Economical in use.
- Available in a range of sizes with rip-off edge to form neat sealant rebate.
