 SOCO® Polymer for Cable Application

MACRO SORB® SHC Cable Water Blocking Series

MACRO SORB® Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) for the Cable Industry provide essential water ingress protection in demanding environments. When cable sheaths are compromised, the SAPs quickly absorb water, expand, and seal the damage, preventing further penetration and reducing the risk of electrical failures.

 

Designed for high-voltage, communication, and fiber optic cables, MACRO SORB® SAPs are integral to modern cable manufacturing. They offer reliable, cost-effective solutions to enhance cable durability and performance, meeting the growing demand for high-performance cables across industries.

MACRO SORB® Water-blocking Powders Applications

Direct Incorporation Into Cables

Can be applied directly loose into the cable, especially in high-voltage cables, during the manufacturing process. The dosage depends on the cable structure and the desired water sealing.

Direct Incorporation Into Cables

Cable Filling Compounds(Gels Or Jelly)
MACRO SORB® SAP as the CABLE FILLING COMPOUNDS works in cable gels or jelly, providing water absorption, water retention, structural stability, and enhanced waterproofing capabilities for cables. For optimum protection of the cable against water ingress, cable fillers are applied either between the core wrap and the outer protective jacket (Cable Flood) or directly onto the cable core (Cable Filler).

Cable Filling Compounds

Water blocking Tapes

MACRO SORB® SAP Polymers with a high swelling rate can be incorporated into water-blocking tapes, which are used to prevent water from spreading within the cable. Typically, this strip material is embedded inside the cable, and upon damage, it will quickly absorb water and expand, serving to seal the water source and prevent the spread of moisture.

FAQs About Cable Water Blocking Polymer

  • What is water swellable tape in cable?

    Water Swellable Tape are designed to prevent water ingress into fibre optic, copper data/telecom and power cables. Using super absorbent polymers (SAP) gives these tapes premium performance during the critical first minute of response to water.Gel ice pack can also be the better choice for cold-chain transportation of food & medicine since it can provide the proper low temperature without melting water running around. It is also reusable and anti-bacteria.

  • What is water blocking powder?

    Water-Blocking Powder is a kind of super absorbent polymer made of sodium polyacrylate. This kind of water blocking powder will be swelling to block the gap and preventing further water penetration.

  • What is the ingredient of SOCO® cable water blocking polymer?

    SOCO cable water blocking polymer is one kind of super absorbent polymer which is sodium polyacrylate. It has better water absorbent capacity and harmless.

  • How should sodium polyacrylate be stored?

    Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, locked store room away from incompatible materials. Use ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
