Never used foam expansion joints in concrete. I have used Fillaboard.
I think you can use foam in concrete though but iv only used it in masonary and its called Brickfill.

Expansion foam. You can get a foam gun to. try buildbase, or any concrete material suppliers. DIY outlets do it but maybe only the smaller tubes and more expensive. Hope you don't mind me asking but what will you be using it for?

We've got to concrete an area 31m long x 6m wide. We are doing it in 4m long sections and I just wanted to know what to put between the joints to stop it blowing out
