Bicaseal Putty
Bicaseal is a two-part putty mix, supplied as individually wrapped sticks of resin and hardener, which are different colours to help with complete mixing.
Bicaseal has a usable life of 60 minutes at 20° with an average setting time of 90 minutes.
- Each 0.5kg pack of Bicaseal contains two sticks each of resin and hardener, individually wrapped.
- Great for repairs to wood, metal, ceramic objects.
- The joint made between most materials will have good mechanical strength.
- Water immersion, or the presence of water, will not prevent setting
Mixing
Equal lengths of resin and hardener should be cut from the sticks and worked together by hand until a uniform colour is achieved. It is important that the equal amounts of resin and putty are mixed together, as incorrect quantities will adversely affect the compound. The putty is easy to mix and starts to set as soon as mixed.
Applications
Cable Terminating
Bicaseal can be used for capping ends of metal or PVC/XLPE sheathed cables and for sealing the crutches of PVC/XLPE cables. It can be used to make a 'wipe' between a service box and a PVC/XLPE sheathed cable. Neat plumbs can be formed with this product.
Solid setting putty becomes a hard mass after approximately 4 hours. It should ideally be left, without movement, overnight to fully cure. At reduced ambient temperatures, the setting time will increase and the mixing of the two components will become more difficult.
Before application of the putty mix, ensure that the surfaces are clean and free from oil or lubricants, and where possible roughen the surfaces to aid adhesion.
- Disposable plastic gloves should be worn during both mixing and application.
