Seals Air Leaks in Pressurized Cable and Splices

Polywater® AirRepair® Sealant is a revolutionary leak repair system for pressurized telephone cables and splices. AirRepair Sealant seals air leaks in lead-sheathed cables and splice enclosures, polyethylene “Stalpeth®” cable jackets, load coils, end-plates, and more. AirRepair Sealant eliminates messy and dangerous molten lead “hot wipe” procedures. AirRepair Sealant allows a single craftsperson, with minimal training, to effectively and economically seal 20 or more leaks per day.

AirRepair Sealant is a 2-part, fast-curing, gray paste. The AirRepair Sealant 2-part paste is packed in an easy-to-use system. Pre-measured packaging contains enough material to seal one typical leak, approximately 6 square inches at a coating thickness of 1/4 inch.

AirRepair Sealant is a no-sag paste that, once mixed, can be immediately applied to the cable or splice underside, along seams, and in the “crotch” area. The sealant will hold air pressure within 10 minutes of mixing and application. The sealant cures at ambient temperatures as low as 40°F, forming a tough seal. The cured seal is resistant to water, salt, oils, and other manhole contaminants.

  • Eliminates Hot Lead Wiping: Improved safety and convenience.
  • Multiple Uses: Seals air leaks in lead-sheathed cables, splice enclosures, polyethylene "Stalpeth" cable jackets, load coils, end-plates, and more.
  • Easy to Apply: Paste seals hard-to-reach areas.
  • Fast Cure Time: Typically ready for pressurization in under 15 minutes.
  • Saves Money: Less expensive and faster than hot lead wiping.

Specifications and Applications:

Pre-Measured Packaging: One kit contains enough material to seal a leak, approximately 6 square inches at 1/4-inch thickness.

Chemical Resistant: Sealant is chemically resistant to dielectric fluids, SF6 gas, UV rays, water, and oil.

Impact Resistance: The repair patch has the flexibility to withstand a steel-ball impact of at least 65 in.-lbs on lead and 55 in.-lbs on polyethylene.

Excellent Adhesion, No Sag: Repair patch has excellent adhesion to multiple substrates and will not sag while curing. This allows for application to the bottom side of leaking surfaces without running or dripping. AR can withstand up to 10 psi.
