Resin Pack 14C Cable Ducting Sealant

Resin Pack 14C is a high-performance, two-component polyurethane cable ducting sealant specifically engineered to prevent the ingress of moisture and gas into telecommunications duct systems. Designed for professional telecom applications, this advanced sealing compound delivers reliable, standards-compliant performance where durability and environmental resistance are critical.

Fully compliant with BT Specification M229C, Resin Pack 14C has been rigorously tested to meet strict performance criteria for cable network protection. It provides a dependable sealing solution for underground and above-ground telecom infrastructure, ensuring long-term system integrity and reducing maintenance risk.

Engineered for Telecommunications Protection

Moisture and gas ingress can severely compromise telecommunications networks, leading to cable degradation, service interruption, and costly repairs. Resin Pack 14C forms a robust, moisture-resistant barrier within cable ducting systems, preventing water migration and gas penetration.

Independent testing against BT Specification M229C confirms:

• No adverse effect on polyethylene cable sheaths
• No stress cracking on polyethylene
• No foaming under moisture exposure
• No water loss during seal testing

This makes it a trusted cable ducting sealant for protecting sensitive telecom assets in challenging environmental conditions.

Proven Performance Against BT Specification M229C

Resin Pack 14C not only meets but exceeds several BT M229C requirements:

• Viscosity: 20,500 mPas (within 20,000–25,000 mPas requirement)
• Gel Time: 6 minutes (faster than the 10-minute requirement)
• Maximum Temperature: 50°C (well below 120°C limit)
• Adhesion to PVC: 0.32 N/mm² (exceeds 0.25 N/mm² minimum)
• Hardness @ 24 Hours: 65 IRHD (within 50–70 IRHD range)
• Compressive Strength: 2.5 N/mm² (exceeds 2 N/mm² minimum)
• Phenyl Isocyanate Content: <0.0005% (significantly below 0.01% limit)

With a rapid gel time and fast tack-free cure (approximately 10 minutes at 20°C), installations can be completed efficiently while maintaining high performance standards. Even at low temperatures (5°C), acceptable curing is achieved within 24 hours.

Easy Cartridge Application

Supplied in a 250ml universal cartridge fitted with a static mixer nozzle, Resin Pack 14C is designed for straightforward dispensing and accurate mixing. The 1:1 mix ratio by volume ensures consistent results, while homogeneous mixing and dispensing can be achieved within two minutes, meeting specification requirements.

The cartridge system simplifies on-site handling, reduces waste, and ensures clean application — ideal for field engineers and telecom contractors.

Strong Adhesion and Material Compatibility

This polyurethane cable ducting sealant bonds effectively to a range of commonly used duct and cable materials, including:

• Polyethylene
• Polycarbonate
• PVCu

Its excellent adhesion properties ensure a secure seal, while improved re-enterable characteristics allow future maintenance access when required — offering an advantage over older resin technologies.

Rapid Cure for Efficient Installations

Time efficiency is essential in telecom network installations and repairs. Resin Pack 14C delivers:

• Tack-free surface in approximately 10 minutes at 20°C
• Good cure after 24 hours at 5°C
• Controlled exotherm with a maximum temperature of 50°C

The controlled cure profile minimises thermal stress on surrounding materials while enabling faster project turnaround.

Ideal Applications

Resin Pack 14C is suitable for:

• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Underground cable duct sealing
• Gas and moisture barrier formation
• Network installation and repair projects

Whether used in new installations or maintenance programmes, this cable ducting sealant provides reliable environmental sealing that protects network performance long term.
