Prime Resins Prime Flex Hydro Gel EXP injection resin
Prime Flex Hydro Gel EXP from Prime Resins is a versatile, easy-to-use single component, water activated, hydrophilic polyurethane injection resin for sealing actively leaking joints and cracks in below-grade concrete structures. It forms either a closed cell, watertight foam or impermeable gel depending on the water-to-resin mix ratio. Cured material remains flexible and has excellent adhesion. It can also be used for soil binding for slough control. Primary applications include crack injection to seal leaks, particularly structures subject to movement or vibration, and curtain grouting manholes to seal cracks and penetrations. Other applications include soil binding for slough control and sidewall support. The resin is phthalate-free, seals tight or wide cracks and can be used with oakum to seal wide gaps. High elongation allows for thermal or structural movement, and the resin is nonflammable, noncorrosive and can be used underwater. 800-321-7212; www.primeresins.com
COXREELS inline swivel for spring-driven reels
Prior to COXREELS’ enhancement to the spring-driven 1 1/4-inch and 1 1/2-inch SLPL models, these models came standard with COXREELS’ aluminum inline swivel. COXREELS eliminated the aluminum inline swivel on five SLPL models (725, 750, 825, 835, and 850) and incorporated a nickel-plated steel inline swivel (from the 1185 Series). This swivel increases the pressure rating of the inline plumbing from 250 to 1,500 psi. The nickel-plated steel is also more rugged and durable than the aluminum swivel that it replaces. The new swivel includes COXREELS multi-lobe seals for improved leak integrity. The swivel is also available in stainless steel, which gives customers a choice with their stainless steel fluid path requirements. The stainless steel inline swivel fluid path is more cost-effective than the 90-degree swivel stainless steel fluid path. The inline swivel also boasts a more efficient, less restrictive flow path than the 90-degree swivel. 800-269-7335; www.coxreels.com
