Foam is light and it’s cellular structure is superior for bonding which makes a great bonding surfaces for glues.
A contact adhesive should be used, closed cell foams are air-tight – meaning the adhesive will not be exposed to air.
Some popular examples depending on the application are: liquid nails, gorilla glue or specific foam glue.
To use foam glue, apply it to both surfaces and let it dry (15 minutes) then stick them together (bonds on contact).
Just about any gap sealant, silicone or caulk can be used in addition with closed cell foam to create a seal for wall, floors, window etc.
Foam can be cut with a trade knife or blade, saws, even bread knifes can also be used.
The application and precision of the cut should be considered before deciding on a cutting method.
Straight edges can be used to assist with creating straight cuts.
*Please note the images of complex cuts like tool trays on our website is done by various CNC machinery at PJ Bowers.

Neolon Backing Rod is manufactured out of Neolon, a closed-cell chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam. They are extensively used in the building and construction industry as a backer/bond breaker rod for sealants in expansion joint sealing applications.
Our backer rods have a premium Neolon XPE closed-cell foam structure, which ensures the backing rod is waterproof and weatherproof, fire retardant, and make it non-adherent to prevent three-sided adhesion when creating a three-walled joint. These fillers are also suitable for window and door applications, glazing, precast concrete slabs, curtain wall joints, pavement joints and copings.
Benefit from the exceptional strength and lightweight design of our Neolon XPE Foam Backing Rod, perfect for foam rod expansion joints and versatile space filling in both vertical and horizontal joints, including masonry, brickwork, concrete panels, and curtain walls.
