FiloSeal+ is a universal solution for sealing cables and pipes in ducts or bore holes and is suitable for sealing several cables or pipes contained in one duct and also allows re-entry of the seal to add/remove cables or pipes as required. Ductwork systems that have a better air tightness, lose less energy than leakier ones. HVAC running costs make up a very substantial part of a building’s operational cost and some of this cost may be recovered by reducing ductwork leakage. Training and preparation - First, read and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Like any other job a field mechanic performs, it requires knowledge and skill. Duct sealing solutions should be engineered into the job and training completed in advance of the fieldwork. MD5 Duct Sealing System Vs DIY Expanding Foam The use of expanding foam in construction & mainatenance projects in all industries has increased over time, but it faces major problems when applied wrong, or designed into a project where the foam specs doesnt match the requirements of the project. In this BLOG, we'll cover the reasons why expanding foam fails when sealing cable ducts and what you can do about it.

It is vital, to make sure the duplex foam is wrapped around each cable, to create separation from each other and the inside of the duct. Running waterAll duct sealing systems chosen have their strengths and weaknesses bar one. DIY expanding foam is inexplicably popular as a duct sealing solution. This is despite the fact that any duct sealed with it looks like it has some sort of malignent growth coming from it. Filoform duct sealing systems have been developed to provide an effective gas and watertight seal of underground cable penetrations. When installing our duct sealing system MDII, you will protect valuables from damage which is caused by gas and water leaks.

CSD's team are very focused in their approach to provide a high quality product and service. We are looking forward to working with them in the future” Cable duct seals provide protection of substations and basements against flood, fire and gas ingress dangers Luke Wright: "I'd love to bring the club some silverware" ▶ Tymal Mills reacts to his World T20 call up In this highly complicated operation, Johnny McQuoid, SFBB programme director for BT Group highlighted the technical challenges of the roll-out. “This is the first large-scale FTTP deployment of its kind in the UK,” he said. “It’s a trial of our planning, building and provisioning processes and we’re learning a lot along the way.”Duct sealing system FiloSeal+ is a universal solution for sealing cables and pipes in ducts or bore holes. It is critical to evaluate the specific duct sealing situation and identify the objectives of the seal. For Example: Complies with 2011 NEC Articles 225.27, 230.8, 300.5(G), 300.7 (A) onRaceway Seals, and 501.15 (B)(2) If there is room and the cables are de-energized, a power tool to speed the process up could be used. Once the seal is broken from the cable, there may be a crust of resin still present on the cable; this is due to the excellent adhesion our resin has. The hardest part of removing this seal is the crust that forms when the resin soaks into the foam flange. Safety Duct sealing system FiloSeal+HD is an eginnered universal solution for sealing larger heavy cables and pipes in ducts, boreholes or transit frames.

After application and full curing the thixotropic MD+ forms a plastic elastomer mass with special qualities effectively sealing and bonding, while providing a high level of durability. It can often be very difficult to pinpoint areas of leakage, usually there are many points of small leakage which contribute to a much larger leakage total. FiloSeal+ is very easy to apply regardless of the type of cable scenario in the cable ducts as it uses a uniquely shaped foam piece which positions neatly around the cables or pipes in the duct. FiloSeal+ is suitable for sealing several cables or pipes contained in one duct and also allows re-entry of the seal to add or remove cables or pipes as required. In the UK the DNO’s (Distribution Network Operator) hold a statutory requirement to prevent danger due to the influx of water, or any noxious or explosive liquid, hydrocarbon or gas from the surrounding ground into substations, street boxes and buildings. The electric utility will have an approved method and material to seal ducts in all new, altered or retro-fitted cable installations – this includes the sealing of cable ducts where the ducting enters the switch gear building.Properties of Cured resin: Fairley dense structure however can be dug out with a blunt tool & Hammer with some degree of difficulty.(Please note there is between 10-15 cm (4-6”) of the expanding resin in each seal depending on the size of duct) Are you not convinced yet to use our MD5 Duct Sealing system instead of DIY Expanding PU foam from a can? If not, please read the test data below, performed by ourselves. You won't find a single manufacturer of expanding foams in a can with the same test data for sealing cables in a duct.
