Usage

  • Ideal as a gap filler and bond breaker for floor and wall expansion joints, filling systems for roads, motorways, bridges, walls and automotive  applications.
  • In joints where polystyrene or bitumen impregnated fillers have been used, Abelflex is ideal as a bondbreaker. Often necessary because of the sealant incompatibility with these forms of fillers.
  • Suitable as a back-up filler for most liquid sealants
  • Ideal for stopping contaminants such as soil entering into expansion slots and joints
