Chico SpeedSeal Compound from Cooper Crouse-Hinds lets you reliably install a complete explosionproof seal in less than five minutes. The Chico SpeedSeal compound comes in a self-contained applicator kit that eliminates the need for measuring before mixing. Just pump to mix, inject the pre-measured amount, replace the plug and the fitting is sealed. It's that easy.

The Chico SpeedSeal compound expands after injection to tightly fill the entire fitting, automatically separating the conductors. The time-consuming and tedious task of packing fiber to separate the individual conductors is eliminated. The time-consuming and tedious task of packing fiber to separate the individual conductors is eliminated.  Why spend 50 minutes or more creating a seal when you can do it easier in five? With Chico SpeedSeal compound, you’ll save an average of $45 in labor on every 3/4" sealing fitting installed.

Chico SpeedSeal Compound will quickly harden to a dense, strong mass and is UL Listed and cUL Listed for use with Cooper Crouse-Hinds EYS Sealing Fittings up to 2".

Applications:

Chico® SpeedSeal™ Compound:

• designed to separate and form an explosionproof seal around each electrical conductor in Crouse-Hinds EYS and EYD* sealing fittings.

• restricts the passage of gases, vapors or flames through the sealing fitting.

• creates a seal for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F & G hazardous areas.

Chico X Fiber:

• used in vertical applications to form a dam between the integral bushing of the sealing fitting and the end of the conduit to keep Chico SpeedSeal Compound contained in sealing fitting while in the liquid state. Simply pack it in the conduit hub. No need to separate conductors.

• not required in horizontal applications, unless user wants to keep Chico SpeedSeal Compound out of conduit, adjacent fittings or enclosures.

Chico SpeedSeal Compound is a revolutionary material:

• installs a reliable seal in five minutes - every time.

• hardens to a dense, strong mass that is suitable for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F & G hazardous applications.

• UL and cUL Listed for use with 1/2" to 2" Cooper Crouse-Hinds sealing fittings only.

• packaged in a 2 oz. or 6 oz. premeasured cartridge, eliminating the need for measuring before mixing.

• packaged with a screw-on nozzle for accurate dispensing.

• expands four times its original size in the sealing fitting, eliminating the need to separate the individual conductors with Chico X fiber.

• Chico X fiber dams are not required in horizontal applications, reducing installation times.

• completely hardens in 20 minutes, simplifying use for OEMs.

• suitable for cold temperature environments without the costly need to build a temporary shelter around sealing fittings. All ice crystals must be removed from inside the conduit seal before dispensing Chico SpeedSeal compound. The Chico SpeedSeal compound should be kept above 10ºC (50ºF) prior to mixing. The sealing fitting must be kept at or above 4ºC (40ºF) during the 4 to 10 minute expansion / gel time of the compound.

• one year shelf-life.

* Chico SpeedSeal Compound will be available for use with EYD drain seals by September 2003.
