Sika® PEF Rod
Backing Rods for Jointing Requirements

Sika PEF Rod
An essential component of many joint sealing jobs!

Sika PEF Rod is manufactured from the highest quality closed cell polyethylene to produce a joint backing material primarily for use in conjunction with elastomeric sealants.

Uses: 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

• No adhesion to sealants, sealant has unrestricted movement
• Approved for use in food areas (Australia Standard AS2170)
• Easy to install • Wide range of sizes available
• Non toxic, odourless
