Polywater® FST™ Foam Duct Sealant

A proven track record for providing durable and reliable protection in the toughest environments.

Polywater FST Sealant is used to protect mission-critical electrical and telecommunication systems from water, gases, and other unwelcome intrusions. The closed-cell, foam sealant technology evenly flows around cables and in conduit space to create a strong bond. It expands and completely cures into a rigid, robust seal without relying on environmental moisture.

Polywater® AFT™ Spray Foam Sealant

An easy-to-use, fast setting and durable seal for system-hardening.

Polywater® AFT™ two-part foam seals cable networks with faster installation time and higher performance when compared to duct putty or insulating hardware store foams. Polywater AFT expands and cures in minutes to create a rigid, airtight and watertight seal. It is compatible with all cable jackets and bonds to a variety of materials in a range of applications such as conduits, riser poles, U-guards, raceway entrances and more.

Get ahead of potential cable damage with Pull-Planner™ 4.0

The proprietary Pull-Planner 4.0 software is useful for designing effective conduit systems, as cables are susceptible to damage when pulling tension and sidewall bearing pressure limits are exceeded.

Pull-Planner 4.0 can assist in:

  • Estimating ending tension and sidewall pressure.

  • Eliminating splices.

  • Reducing the number of vaults and pull boxes.

  • Determining direction of pull.

  • Planning for future upgrades.

  • Analyzing jam probability.
