CRL Sof® Rod is basically an inert material, and
therefore compatible both physically and chemically with virtually all known
cold applied sealants, including self-leveling types like our CRL NoVa 300 SSL
and CRL Tremco THC900. It provides superior performance for a wide range of
expansion and contraction joint applications such as EIFS, glazing, curtainwalls,
and parking decks. Sof® Rod fills the same joint dimensions as closed cell
backer rod.
Proper installation includes the following. Verify that the joint is clean,
moisture-free, and clear of obstructions. Use Sof® Rod in a diameter
approximately 25% larger than the joint. Always install using a blunt tool or
roller. The CRL Backer Rod Insert Tool Set T607CU605 is designed specifically
for the smooth installation of all types of backer rods.
Important Note:
Do not tear, puncture, crease, over compress or stretch during insertion. Always
use the correct size backer rod for the particular application. Do not use with
hot applied sealants or hot melt adhesives where their surface temperature is
over 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
