Description
Polyethylene Compressible Filler Board is a construction material commonly used in expansion joints for concrete structures. Made from closed-cell polyethylene foam, it serves as a flexible, compressible barrier that absorbs the expansion and contraction movements of concrete slabs and structures. Key properties include excellent resistance to water, high compressive strength, chemicals, and UV radiation, as well as high durability and thermal insulation capabilities. This material helps prevent damage to concrete by accommodating changes in temperature and load, ensuring the longevity and stability of the construction.
Available brands:
Speccell Polyethylene 40, Speccell Polyethylene 460, Neocell PE, Eurocell CCP 428, Polyboard PE, Cork jointflex, Filler Board-50 PE, Corrocell PE, Uniflex PE, Hydrocell XL, Oxicell PE.
Advantages:
- Non-absorbent and non-tainting. Hence makes it suitable for use in both water excluding and water retaining structures.
- Cross linked closed cell, UV resistant and semi- rigid
- Chemically resistant petroleum solvents, acids, alkalis and oil
- Highly resilient – the heat welded laminated structure combines greater rigidity and load support, therefore low load transfer.
- Bitumen-free and rot-proof. Ideal for structures
- Designed to store potable water.
Applications of Polyethylene Compressible Filler Board:
- Expansion Joints: Used in roads, pavements, bridges, and buildings to fill gaps and allow for movement.
- Concrete Structures: Acts as a filler for joints in foundations, floors, and walls.
- Infrastructure Projects: Ensures joint stability in parking decks, tunnels, and highways.
