Non-Corrosive. Lightweight. Drop-In.
PolyDowel™ is a continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic plate dowel engineered and tested as an alternative to conventional steel tapered plate dowels. It provides load transfer across formed construction joints in concrete slabs-on-ground, with approximately 80% less weight and familiar pocket installation.
Available in 3/8 in. Other sizes by request. Made in the USA.
