Product Description
Use the NanKarrow IsoTube™ Soundproofing Closed Cell Corner Sealing Rod to help fill gaps and openings in cracks, wall joints, ceiling joints, floor joints, foundations, and more. IsoTube™ helps cushion and insulate and helps prevent 3-point bonding.
What are Closed Cell Perimeter Sealing Rods?
Closed cell backer rods are designed to limit the depth of sealants, help the sealant assume an hourglass shape (which prolongs sealant life), and serve as a bond breaker to prevent bottom-side adhesion. IsoTube™ does not stain sealants, and is chemically inert. It is non-gassing, non-exuding, and virtually dust-free. Due to physical and chemical inert nature, IsoTube™ is compatible with virtually all known cold sealants, including self-leveling sealants – butyl, polysulfide, acrylic polyurethane, silicone, POP, and most other cold-applied sealants
Contemporary foam sealants are loaded with feature-rich attributes. They seal quickly, with a cell type that prevents fluid ingress. Temperature control and vibration management strategies are readily formed when the foam material is intelligently sourced and expertly installed. Think about it, these adhesives and binding materials bond efficiently, so what else is there to think about? Well, what about a sealing scenario where part of the backing surface is missing?
Backing Rods Fill the Void
Like a gap-filling backbone, the backing rods occupy any and all spatial voids. Picture a series of garages behind a busy street. Water seepage problems are taking place between two units because of a crack in the wall. The obvious solution here is to close this gap at its source. Unfortunately, the gap is several centimetres wide. On the bright side, there’s a sealant that’s up to the job, but it’s not going to properly fill the gap. That’s a job for the backing rods. Properly inserted, the pliable strip fills that linearly stretching gap. Then, once the void is occupied, the foam sealant has a backing surface it can be pushed against. That final joint is strong and entirely weatherproof.
Creating a Three-Walled Joint
If the backing rod isn’t fitted, the sealing material is compressed between two walls, the chasm of the joint, as it were. The third surface is missing. Arguably, the compressed caulking will expand to fill the void. However, it has no third wall to occupy. Because of that absent backing surface, the foam sealant doesn’t have a ‘backbone,’ the one we mentioned a moment ago. It is absolutely imperative that the three-way surface joint forms correctly, so that third surface, the one created by the backing rod, must be installed before the foam sealant is applied. Otherwise, application uniformity cannot be correctly established. Keep these facts in mind while installing this material stripping as an expansion joint before an amorphous sealant is applied.

Deepak Pandey –
My carpenters have been using this for sealing gaps in studio construction and it works much better than regular sealant for larger spaces.
Rahul Patil –
Applied around door frames to seal gaps and it made noticeable difference in sound leakage. Make sure to use it up once opened as it sets.
Hitesh Mehta –
Used for sealing joints in false ceiling of my recording space and results are immediate. Does the job really well if applied properly.
Bharat Pal –
This white color sealing rod with 15mm thickness did the work exactly as advertised. Thank you everyone for helping me out.
