| PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

STEICO’s Expansion Joint Filler Boards and STEICO’s Protection Boards are
woodfibre softboards impregnated with bitumen. This process gives the boards
a high water resistance, high compression strength and an extraordinary long
durability.

STEICObitumen is only manufactured out of European timber from strictly

controlled and sustainable forests. In its application as an Expansion Joint
Filler Board, STEICO bitumen boards offer the highest quality and can be used
in all types of Expansion Joints. Typically it is used in North America, the UK,
the Middle East and Asia and thus it complies with the ASTM and the British
Standards.

STEICO’s Protection Board complies with the same standards and has the same
high quality features. It is used as a protection board for membranes in
waterproofing technology applications.

STEICO’s high standards in both product development and production ensure

products of the highest quality.
