211176 RESIN WIRE SOCKETING WIRELOCK, 500CC

The suitable resin for socketing wire rope terminations. This wire rope assemblies are 100% efficient when used with steel wire rope, galvanized wire ropes. Pass the wire rope through the end hole of roller socket, and measure the rope ends to be socketed. The rope end should be seized at the sufficient length so that the ends of the unlaid wires (from the strands) will be at the top of the socket basket. The wire rope is secured in a vice directly below the seizing to allow the strands to be unlaid to the seizing. Plasticine or clay based putty, i.e., window or glazing putty, is required to seal the base of the socket prior to pouring, thus, preventing resin leakage which may cause voids. All of the liquid resin should be placed in the mixing container and then all of the power added to it (or vice versa) before mixing. Always mix all of the resin with all of the powder. Upon mixing, the resin will turn to a greenish turquoise color. If the mix remains a pale straw yellow color, do not use the kit. Once the resin is mixed, it should be poured immediately into the socket to ensure good penetration. The rope can be put in service or proof loaded one hour after the material in the socket has gelled. Whenever possible , the assembly should be proof loaded.
