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.
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).
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.
