Hard Backer Rod

Alcot Hard Backer Rod is a closed-cell extrusion that resists moisture absorption, which makes it the standard choice for exterior joints that see water before or after sealing. Alcot extrudes it in Canada in diameters to suit everything from window perimeters to wide expansion joints. Sized correctly (about 25 percent larger than the joint), it gives your sealant the ideal hourglass profile.
