CABLE JOINTING COMPOUND

It is an opaque, semi rigid, two-part polyurethane infill compound. The system has a low viscosity and is easily processed. The resin exhibits good adhesion to plastic, XLPE, PVC and nylon and all types of metals. Once cured the resin provides excellent protection against moisture, salt, oil and many types of chemicals along with providing excellent electrical and mechanical properties

WORKSHOP PRACTICE 

The following procedure is recommended:

1. Remove outer wrapper - cut with scissors being careful not to pierce the inner pack. 

2. Remove clip - unfold sachet, hold each side firmly along the top edge. Pull apart to release central plastic clip. Do not slide apart as this can puncture the pack. 

3. Mix - mix the contents by using the fingers and thumbs. Ensure that the material in the corners and edges of the pack are well mixed in. The mixing process takes 3-5 mins. Care should be taken not to burst the pack by over enthusiastic mixing. 

4. Cut off the corner - this will give a dispensing cone. The size of the cone determines the rate the material is dispensed. 

5. Dispense material - gradually pouring the material to fill moulds from the bottom up reduces inclusion of air.
