Usage

Sika® PEF Rod is pushed into joint gaps to form a uniform and firm base for controlling the depth of gun applied elastomeric sealants such as Sikaflex. Sika® PEF Rod can be used for forming the base of vertical and horizontal joints in the following applications:

Joints between precast concrete panels
Saw cut joints in concrete floors
Peripheral joints around aluminium and timber windows
Around penetrations through walls and floors
Expansion joints between bricks and masonry
Can also be used for draught-proofing and dust-proofing of joints in situations where no other form of sealing is required
