How CABLOC® Polymers work

In the event of water ingress into a cable manufactured with swellable components, the CABLOC^® superabsorbent immediately swells to many times its original dry particle size to block further water penetration. Due to the rapid swelling of CABLOC^® polymers, voids within the cable are sealed immediately, preventing water movement, keeping the potential damage localized. Available blends CABLOC^® Polymers are available as a powder or as a liquid.
