Joint Filler Specs
The Joint Filler shall be recyclable, non-cross linked, closed cell, low density, polyethylene foam (as manufactured by Thermotec Australia) with a nominal density of not less than 65 or 120 kg/m3 (delete non-applicable density).
The foam joint filler shall have a minimum of one flame lamination (for maximisation of load support in the perpendicular plane).
Recovery after 50% compression shall be at least 95% after 10 minutes, while extrusion after 50% compression must not be less than 1%(T65) or 0.5%(T140) (delete non-applicable compression).
Minimum compression resistance shall be 335 kPa(T65) or 503kPa(T140) (delete non-applicable resistance level).
The joint filler shall show no deterioration with a load bearing of 10 kN and must not support the growth of micro organisms nor release cytotoxic or mutagenic compounds or metals into water per AS4020(Int) - 1994.
