Sof rods are designed to limit the depth of sealants, help the
sealant assume an hourglass shape (which prolongs sealant life),
and serve as a bond breaker to prevent bottom-side adhesion.
Sof rods do not stain sealants, and are chemically inert.
They are non-gassing, non-exuding, and virtually dust-free.
Due to physical and chemical inert nature, sof rod is compatible
with virtually all known cold sealants, including self-leveling
sealants - butyl, polysulfide, acrylic polyurethane, silicone, and
most other cold-applied sealants
Diameter of Rod: 3/8"
Length of Roll: 1400ft
Joint Preparation and Installation:
Clean all joints. Remove any concrete form-release agents, curing
compound residue, laitance, and any other foreign materials.
To ensure good bond, joints must be clean and dry when the new
sealant is installed. Air compressors must be equipped with traps
for oil and moisture removal.
Install sof rod at depth recommended by sealant manufacturer - use
a blunt tool.
