3Gen Neoprene Expansion Joint
The 3Gen Neoprene Expansion Joint - 3/8 in. x 3 in. x 50 ft Long is a closed cell neoprene expansion joint filler used to absorb movement in masonry and concrete construction. It is commonly installed beneath relieving angles or in vertical expansion joints to help keep joints clean and functioning properly.
This compressible joint filler is ideal for brick walls, block walls, control joints, and commercial masonry applications where moisture resistance and flexibility are important. The closed cell neoprene structure helps resist water absorption while allowing the material to compress as the wall or slab moves.
Designed for durable jobsite performance, this neoprene joint filler can handle up to 50% compression and can be cut to fit specific joint conditions in the field. It is a practical choice for contractors needing a flexible, water-resistant expansion joint material that conforms to ASTM D 1056 RE41 Grade 2A1.
