Markchem Polyethylene 100
MARKCHEM POLYETHYLENE 100 is a semi-rigid, U.V. resistant, high performance closed cell polyethylene foam joint filler in sheet form. It is suitable for use as an expansion joint filler in concrete, brick, blockwork and isolation joints, where a readily compressible low load transfer joint filler is required. It is non-tainting and therefore suitable for use in potable water retaining and water excluding structures
