Background description of company and its products:
	Headquartered in Zebulon, NC, Nomaco has been serving the construction industry with foam backer rod and flat profiles for over 35 years. Nomaco manufactures a wide variety of polyethylene/ polypropylene foam products for industrial, commercial and resid
Recommended Uses-Primary: Joint Sealers, Healers and Fillers
Recommended Uses-Alternate: Unknown
Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	Nomaflex is used as preformed expansion joint filler for concrete sidewalks, driveways, curbs, medians, ditches, slope protection, roadways, and various structures. Nomaflex is a semi-rigid expansion joint filler for concrete construction, made with closed-cell polypropylene foam that provides superior moisture resistance and compression recovery as compared to asphalt-impregnated fiberboard, and is more rigid and less costly than sponge rubber or cork. Nomaflex is compatible with all known concrete joint sealants and generally offers a lower installed cost as compared to other expansion joint materials. Nomaflex will NOT absorb water, will NOT easily break, will NOT leach asphalt, will NOT impede sealant cure time, or discolor the sealant. It provides excellent chemical resistance, is much easier to handle and store, will form to curves without breaking, while maintaining rigidity. With low material cost and ease of installation, Nomaflex offers the lower installed cost option for concrete expansion joint filler.
General Composition of Material:
	Nomaflex is made of Polypropylene Foam with up to 70% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. Made in American, Nomaflex is manufactured at our facilities in Zebulon, NC and Oklahoma City, OK, and it is distributed nationwide through a well-established distribution channel serving the concrete construction market. Nomaflex is made through a plastic foam extrusion process that forms the productâ€™s unique rigid structure, yet flexible enough to bend without breaking. The physical properties of closed-cell polypropylene keep moisture out, and since it is chemically inert, it will not react with typical chemicals used on and around concrete structures.
