Sika Backing Rod

Sika Backing Rod is a sealant backing material made of closed-cell polyethylene foam available in different diameters and lengths. It is insoluble in water, resistant to oil and solvents, and can withstand temperatures between -40°C and +70°C. When heated, it may emit toxic fumes, so adequate ventilation is required during application and storage. Direct contact with eyes should be avoided, and respiratory protection may be needed if ventilation is inadequate during use.
