1-1/4 inch FillPro™ HOT ROD XL Backer Rod for Hot Pour Sealant Applications 400 lf per box

HOT ROD XL is an ideal compressible and non-absorbent backup material that is inserted into a joint to control sealant depth. This creates a backstop to facilitate accurate sealant tooling and proper sealant wetting of the joint surfaces, yielding a quality bond breaker between the backup material and the sealant. HOT ROD XL can also be used as a temporary joint seal.

Specific Uses: HOT ROD XL is suitable for use in contraction and expansion joints of concrete highways, runways, driveways and parking lots.

Compatibility: HOT ROD XL is compatible with most hot pour sealants, rubber-asphalt and coal tar-rubber polymer thermoplastic compounds up to a maximum temperature of 410 degrees F.

We offer the following Diameters:
3/8in., 1/2in., 5/8in. 3/4in., 7/8in.,
1in., 1 1/4in., 1 1/2in., 2in.

The joint depth must be great enough to allow for the proper installation of the Hot Rod XL bond breaker and hot pour sealant. The joint width will
be determined by the appropriate thermal expansion coefficient as related to anticipated temperature variances. Joint walls must be as
smooth and as even as possible and be free of any loose residues or foreign materials. Joints should also be dry and frost-free. Using the “Size-
To-Joint Width” table to the right, select the proper rod diameter and cut to length or use directly from spool. With a sized rubber tool, blunt instrument or
by hand, install rod at the level recommended by the sealant manufacturer, specifier, or governmental agency involved.
