StenBacker is a closed-cell polyethylene (PE) backer rod. It sets joint depths and, by preventing the sealant from adhering to the bottom of the joint, supports the proper operation of the joints.
Areas of Use
It is used to adjust joint depths and to form a barrier against sealant flow in sloped joints. The rods should be selected about 20% thicker than the joint width and fitted into the joint by compressing them to the desired depth. It is available in various diameters from 6 mm to 70 mm.
