INSTALLING FILLERBOARDS IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Corkjoint is a specialist in the development and supply of many types of fillerboards. They are a critical component in the construction of large or small-scale projects that involve the installation of concrete slabs or structures.
This Installing Fillerboards Guide is set out to quickly guide our customers to the installation and other procedures necessary to correctly install them.
It is important to note that the specific installation procedures vary depending on the type of fillerboard, joint design, and project requirements. By choosing the right type of expansion joint fillerboard and installing it correctly, construction professionals can ensure the longevity and structural integrity of their concrete projects, which is essential for maintaining safety, efficiency, and long-term viability.
It is crucial to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with our qualified professionals for guidance tailored to your specific construction project. For a quick overview of all our standard fillerboards,click here.

CJ-100 Adhesive
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
CJ-100 Adhesive is used to install Corkjoint’s range of hydrophilic waterstops and expansion joint fillerboards.
- Surface must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, oil & water.
- Stir adhesive thoroughly before use.
- Apply the adhesive to both surfaces to be bonded with a dry, clean, brush or scraper to give a uniform coating.
- Allow the solvents to evaporate until adhesive film is “tacky” or “touch dry”. It will take between 10 to 20 minutes depending upon the surface porosity and the weather conditions.
- Position the coated surfaces accurately before assembling them, and upon installation, apply an even pressure to the installed material to consolidate the bond.
- Bond strength can be fully obtained after 24 hours.Read More
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CORKJOINT CJ-100 Adhesive is a premium quality solvent-based synthetic rubber resin adhesive formulated to bond a variety of common materials. It has high viscosity, short tack time, is easy-to-apply, offers superior bonding strength and cost savings.Read More
AREAS OF APPLICATION
