What are different types of Filler boards available in India?
There are few types of filler boards available in India.

1. Bitumen based filler board
2. Non-Bituminous filler board, (also called Polymer based filler board - HD100 board)

How to select the filler board OR what is the difference between both filler boards?
It was formerly the practice to fill expansion joints with bitumen or bitumen filler mixes. Such materials extrude from the joint on the expansion of the concrete slabs and get removed by the wheels of vehicles leaving an open space in the joint after contraction took place.Therefore it is required to have the material like HD100 in place of bitumen based board. So it is strongly recommended to use HD100 filler board instead of Bitumen based boards.
