FOAMJOINT 75 MM × 25 M – 70251 (Pack of 15)
FOAMJOINT by Ableflex / VESPOL is a high‑performance, closed‑cell, cross‑linked polyethylene foam expansion joint roll—ideal for concrete construction applications. This product, with Manufacturer Part Number 70251, is supplied in full rolls measuring 75 mm in width and 25 metres in length.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
- Closed‑cell, non‑absorbent foam: Completely impervious to moisture and fluids, preventing ingress of contaminants into joints.
- Cross‑linked structure: Ensures excellent compression recovery—critical for long‑life expansion joint function.
- Continuous, one-piece extrusion: Avoids lamination issues and ensures uniform performance.
- Superior weather resistance: Durable under UV exposure and varying environmental conditions .
- Chemical resilience: Resistant to acids, alkalis, oils, solvents, fungi, insects and general contaminants—meeting standards such as AS2170.
- Lightweight and user‑friendly: Easy to handle, cut, install; compatible with most liquid sealants.
Variants & Sizes
The Ableflex / Foamjoint range includes multiple widths, all in 25 metre rolls at 10 mm thickness:
Width (mm) | Roll Length | MPN |
50 | 25 m | various |
75 | 25 m | 70251 |
100 | 25 m | other |
125 | 25 m | 70254 |
150 | 25 m | 70254 |
200 | 25 m | 70255 |
300 | 25 m | 70257 |
Some suppliers also offer versions with a pre‑slit “zip‑top” edge—approximately 10 mm from the edge—for clean sealant finishing. If sealant is not required, the zipped edge can face downwards to avoid accidental removal..
Typical Applications
FOAMJOINT is intended as an expansion joint filler and bond breaker in concrete slabs, footpaths, driveways, patios, bridges, and other structural applications. It fills and backs up expansion joints, preventing debris ingress and accommodating thermal or load‑induced movement. The pre‑slit variants facilitate neat sealant insertion after concrete cure.
Installation Overview
- Install the foam strip vertically into the prepared joint cavity before concrete pour.
- Secure in place if necessary (e.g. via stapling or adhesive).
- After concrete curing, remove the zipping segment (if applicable) to reveal a clean void.
- Back the joint with suitable flexible sealant to finish.
Packaging
This specific offering comprises 15 rolls, each 75 mm × 25 m, ideally suited to larger projects or multiple sites.
