FOSROC | Hydrocell XL | (15mm x 1000mm x 2000mm) / SHEETS

Hydrocell XL is a cross linked, semi-rigid, closed cell polyethylene sheet material used for forming or filling expansion joints between adjacent in-situ or precast components. Hydrocell XL provides excellent support backing to elastomeric sealants and is especially recommended for use in expansion joints in brickwork and in the construction of water retaining and water excluding structures. The compression load properties of Hydrocell XL prevents the transfer of load across movement joints. Each cell is cross linked thereby preventing breakdown under hydrostatic pressure. The closed cell formation prevents the absorption of water Uses Hydrocell XL is a cross linked, non absorbent, semi-rigid, cellular polyethylene joint filler used for forming expansion joints in concrete, brickwork and blockwork. The product provides excellent support to sealants subject to hydrostatic pressure and is particularly recommended for water retaining or water excluding structures. Hydrocell XL is a high-performance replacement for traditional sponge rubber (ASTM D1752, type 1) and cork (ASTM D1752, type 2) joint fillers. Advantages  Cross linked to resist lateral and hydrostatic pressure  High density support of sealant to prevent adhesion failure  Non-absorbent closed cell structure  High compression recovery  Non-extruding  Low load transfer to joint edges  Non tainting  Chemically resistant  Natural bond breaker  Rot proof
