Overview
3M Scotchcast 2130 flame retardant compound is a two-part polyurethane resin designed to replace the cable jacket when splicing or repairing mine and portable cables. This semi-flexible resin ensures curing at room temperature and acts as an insulating material for cable splices. The compound adheres to most modern cable jackets and is MSHA and ASTM approved.
Key Features
- Offers jacket repair or splicing of portable cables in demanding environments
