SpECcell Polyethylene 60
CLOSED CELL POLYETHYLENE FOAM JOINT FILLER BOARD
SpECcell Polyethylene 60 is a semi-rigid, high performance closed cell polyethylene foam joint filler. It is suitable for use as an expansion joint filler in concrete, brickwork and blockwork, and in isolation joints where a readily compressible low load transfer joint filler is required. SpECcell Polyethylene 60 is non-tainting and therefore suitable for use in potable water retaining structures.
Technical Details
. Isolation joints to infill panels
. Bridge decks, abutments, pier hinge joints
. As a bond breaker for sealants over bituminous joint fillers
. As anti-vibration pads for machinery bases
. Readily compressible
. Rot proof
. Deformable – accepts temperature cycle with minimal load transfer
. Non-tainting, suitable for potable water applications
. Excellent recovery after compression
. Resilient – will not distort under normal load from wet concrete
. Easily worked – can be cut with knife
. Economical in use
. Bitumen free – suitable for use with elastomeric sealants

In concrete
SpECcell Polyethylene 60 can be placed against formwork on the concreting side prior to placing the first section of concrete and is left in place on removal of the formwork. The subsequent pour is then cast directly against the SpECcell Polyethylene 60. The fibre board is then cut back later to form the sealing slot.
In blockwork and brick
SpECcell Polyethylene 60 should be installed, whilst laying brick or blockwork, in such a way that a sealing slot, of the required dimensions is formed.
