he FILOSLIM Cable Sheath Repair Kit utilizes a totally enclosed mix-and-pour polyurethane resin technology, designed for use as a permanent repair of damaged cable sheaths.

The combination of the Filoform 3D Gauze and the FILOSLIM Injection Resin, enables a quick and easy method of sealing and protecting damaged areas; whilst the hydrocarbon resistant outer sealing tape offers protection in the tough conditions found in direct buried and free-standing applications.

Cables can be buried immediately after the pouring of the resin, and full cure is achieved after one hour. This makes it a quick and reliable alternative to heatshrink repair sleeves but with the added mechanical protection of a hard curing resin. This lends itself to applications where there is a probability or risk of moisture ingress or flooding.

The FILOSLIM LV cable jointing system is approved in accordance with NEN EN 50393 & IEC 60455-3-8:2013
