FX-571-G
2 Component Polymer Fast-Setting Elastomeric Sealant

DESCRIPTION:

FX-571-G, 2-Component Polymer Fast-Setting Pourable Elastomer is specifically manufactured and formulated to produce a "fast-setting" in-place gasket or joint sealant. FX-571-G is particularly advantageous for sealing below grade conduit and cables installed by utility companies. This is accomplished within minutes with no delays. The FX-571-G is an excellent choice for use in horizontal joints where high volumes of pedestrian or vehicular traffic demand the use of a material that will allow reopening with minimum disruption of use. This product is available by SPECIAL ORDER ONLY.

ADVANTAGES:

FX-571-G is self-leveling, "fast-setting", has excellent tensile elongation, good electrical properties for cable sealing, is field formed and has excellent resistance to gasoline, oil and inorganic chemicals found in soil. FX-571-G meets the requirements of FS-TT-S-227.

WHERE TO USE:

FX-571-G is used to seal electrical conduits below grade or above grade. It can be used to waterproof joints, shopping malls, parking garages, airports, subways or any area that necessitates a rapid setting sealant.
