Deesa Duraboard HD 100 is a Cross-linked Closed-cell Polymer popularly recognised as a compressible Expansion Joint Filler Board. Its flexibility and high compression recovery make it ideal for applications requiring readily compressible, low-load solutions. This filler board is non-tainting, making it suitable for use in structures that retain or exclude potable water, and it contains no bitumen.
Branded as the most compressible filler board for expansion joints, 'Deesa HD100' is a high-performance, cross-linked, pre-moulded, compressible joint filler board. It is a readily compressible filler board that ensures low load transfer. ‘Deesa HD100’ (expansion joint filler board) is a non-bituminous superior alternative to bitumen boards.
Dura board® HD insulation stands out as a high-density board, offering the same high dimensional and surface uniformity level as Duraboard LD insulation. However, it goes a step forward by providing increased compressive strength and a higher modulus of rupture. This increased density is achieved through the inclusion of clay additives during the manufacturing process.
Its higher strength makes Duraboard HD insulation well-suited for applications requiring weight load support, such as backing refractory bricks or covering larger unsupported spans
No Weather Effect
Polyolefin Expansion Joint Filler remains resilient and distortion-free under low load transfer from wet concrete. Its performance remains unaffected by rain, cold, or heat, making it more versatile than traditional filler sheets
Resilient
Demonstrates 95% recovery after deflection (compression), one of the best features desired for any performed closed-cell filler
Great Chemical Resistance
It doesn't get affected by acids or oils, making it perfect for specific applications
Simplicity
Easy to handle and install, unlike the bituminous filler boards. Minimal handling loss and unaffected by mishandling. Preformed closed-cell filler can be cut into any shape using a regular knife, eliminating the need for special tools or expertise
Stability
They are proven to be rot-proof and bacteria-resistant, eliminating the need for treatments to block microorganisms
Temperature
Our polymer-based joint filler sheets accept a nominal temperature cycle with minimal load transfer. Hence, it doesn't affect the structure
Application
Closed cell structure
Deesa HD100 sheets boast a deficient water absorption (<0.05%) due to their closed-cell structure, ensuring durability and excellent compression recovery
Bitumen free
No bitumen is used; hence, it is a non-staining product, resulting in trouble-free for the labour force.
