X-FOAM_™
Flexible, Lightweight, Concrete Expansion Joint Filler

DESCRIPTION
X-FOAM expansion joint filler is a flexible, lightweight, non-staining, polypropylene, closed-cell expansion joint filler. It is a chemical-resistant, ultraviolet stable, non-absorbent, low density, cost-effective, compressible foam that offers an extended service life in both interior and exterior applications.

USES
X-FOAM is ideal for use as an expansion, contraction, and/or isolation joint in swimming pool decks, curb and gutter work, floor slabs, pavement patch repair, sidewalks, driveways, plazas, parking decks, highways, and airport runways.  The use of X-FOAM expansion joint combined with proper sealing and joint design per American Concrete Institute guidelines can help reduce unwanted cracking and early joint edge deterioration.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• Flexible, lightweight, and can be formed around curved objects.
• Can be used with both cold- and hot-applied joint sealants
• Easy to carry.
• Easy to install.
• Can be used in interior or exterior applications.
• May be easily scored with a razor tool to create a void for POURTHANE_® or DECK-O-SEAL_®
