rapid 4300 is a two component polyurethane-type casting material. it is a hydrophobic, elastic polyurethane resin, meeting the
requirements of Hd 631.1 s2 and en 50393. rapid polyurethane resins consist of part a - a mixture or polyols, fillers and special
additives - and part B - the hardener which is Mdi (diphenylmethane-di-isocyanate). the isocyanate is classified as a hazardous material
and is labelled “harmful” in accordance with european regulations.

outstanding properties include excellent hydrolytic stability and most impressive hydrophobic characteristics. rapid 4300 has an
excellent curing profile at various temperatues, allowing easy handling and curing in different environments. permanent elasticity
ensures long-term stability and accommodation of cable movement. as a result of the cross-linking reaction, the resin bonds strongly to
functional parts, preventing the creation of voids between hardened resin and cable insulation.
the resins are supplied with gloves, stirrer and instructions, either as a simple resin hardener
combination, or as a filled resin. the resin is supplied in a sealed bag, preparation of rapid
systems starts immediately before the casting process. the two components are mixed in the
double chamber bag or in a can to start the cross-linking process. the resin and hardener is most
effective when mixed at room temperature for at least two minutes using a wide stirrer to avoid
air entrapment. the resin cures after mixing to a tough flexible electrically inert mass. the resin
has a pot life of approximately 15 minutes to allow the joint to be filled, and gels in approximately 1
hour and is fully cured after 24 hours.
in ambient temperatures below 20°c follow recommendations in technical note below.
Technical Note - Cold Temperatures
resins do not cure rapidly in temperatures below 20°c.
either raise the ambient temperature or warm the joint,
