What is Abelflex used for?

Abelflex is a closed-cell polyethylene foam used as an expansion joint filler and bond breaker in concrete slabs, brickwork, bridges, roads and similar construction joints.

How is Abelflex installed in a joint?

Cut the strip to depth and width with a sharp knife and press it firmly into the joint, leaving the correct depth at the surface for backer rod and sealant where required.

Is Abelflex compatible with liquid sealants?

Yes. It is non-bleeding and compatible with most liquid sealants, and it also functions as a bond breaker so the sealant can move with the joint.

How does Abelflex perform over time?

It is non-absorbent, has excellent recovery after compression and is resistant to fungi, insects and most chemicals (AS 2170 approved). Service temperature is –40°C to +95°C.

How should Abelflex be stored?

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Shelf life is unlimited when stored correctly.

Technical overview

Sika Abelflex Handy Pack is a flexible, lightweight, closed cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam expansion joint and space filler supplied in 6m lengths. In concrete and brickwork it works as a gap filler and bond breaker for floor and wall expansion joints and as a back-up filler for most liquid sealants. The strip is inserted into the joint and the zip is torn off to leave a well for the sealant or caulking compound. Sika publishes it as non-bleeding and resistant to fungi and insect attack, approved to AS2170, which suits food contact applications. All technical data in the Product Data Sheet is based on laboratory tests and no accredited test certificate is published.
