EXPANSION JOINT FILLER BOARD
The expansion Joint Filler Board is a soft fiber board impregnated with bituminous material to render it durable and waterproof. It is compressible and possesses a high degree of recovery after compression load is released, thereby ensuring that no free space exists in between joint spaces. The expansion Joint Filler Board is manufactured as per IS-1838:1961 standards.
