Fosroc Hydrocell XL

Technical Information

Hydrocell XL is a cross linked, semi-rigid, closed cell polyethylene sheet material used for forming or filling expansion joints between adjacent in-situ or precast components. Hydrocell XL provides excellent support backing to elastomeric sealants and is especially recommended for use in expansion joints in brickwork and in the construction of water retaining and water excluding structures.

Where To Use

Hydrocell XL is a cross linked, non-absorbent, semi-rigid, cellular polyethylene joint filler used for forming expansion joints in concrete, brickwork and blockwork. The product provides excellent support to sealants subject to hydrostatic pressure and is particularly recommended for water retaining or water excluding structures.
