Product Description
CORKJOINT EZE-FLEX Closed Cell Polyethylene Fillerboard is a closed cell, crossed linked, non-absorbent polyethylene expansion joint filler board, similar to Jointflex®, for use in expansion and isolation joints in concrete and masonry structures. Eze-Flex is non-absorbent and has excellent properties allowing it to be used in water retaining / excluding structures where, potable, salt, chlorine and sewerage water is present.
