SOF Rod Backer Rod


Manufactured by Nomaco, Inc.
Brand: SOF Rod Backer Rod

SOF® Rod is a bi-cellular polyethylene foam backer rod used in building and concrete construction. It is comprised of both open and closed cells with an impervious outer skin that is moisture resistant. SOF® Rod is non-gassing and highly compressible, up to 50 percent to fit tightly into varying width joints and function as a bond-breaker to prevent back-side adhesion of the sealant. It is commonly used in applications such as concrete expansion, construction and contraction joints, window frame and glazing, curtain wall construction, wall panels, parking decks, roadway and bridge construction. SOF® Rod is chemically inert, and therefore is physically and chemically compatible with virtually all known cold-applied sealants including self-leveling types. Sealant compatibility should be confirmed by the sealant manufacturer. SOF® Rod fully complies with ASTM C 1330, Type B and ASTM D 5249, Type 3 physical property requirements.
