Featured Products
Armacell’s product portfolio is a testament to its unwavering commitment to innovation. Some of BK Brown’s favorite products include FillPro Soft Type and FillPro Standard. Both products are designed to optimize the application of sealants, providing a cost-effective and sustainable solution for maintaining the integrity of building structures. Below we dive a little deeper into each!
FillPro Soft Type
FillPro Soft Type Backer Rod, previously known as ITP Soft Type, is a flexible bi-cellular polyethylene foam designed for filling uneven joints. It’s chemically inert, resisting a wide range of solvents including oil and gasoline, without staining, adhering, or exuding. Ideal for a variety of specialty applications, especially where self-leveling sealants are used or in scenarios needing prevention against bubbling. This backer rod serves as an all-purpose solution, effectively controlling sealant depth, facilitating proper tooling, and ensuring adhesion is limited to the joint surfaces. By limiting sealant depth, it also helps in conserving sealant material.
FillPro Standard
FillPro Standard Backer Rod, formerly known as ITP Standard, is an efficient and flexible solution designed for various construction and repair applications. This product is an extruded round, closed-cell, low-density polyethylene foam with a slightly textured surface, making it non-absorbent, adaptable, and easy to compress for installation in a wide array of joint environments. Its primary function is to serve as a backup material for sealants in glazing installations, window and door applications, expansion joints, curtain wall joints, partitions, log construction, pavement joints, precast units, and copings. Not only does it control sealant depth to ensure proper bond formation and prevent excessive use of caulk or sealant, but it can also act as a temporary joint seal.
