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).
