Raytech Magic Gel 1000 is a two component insulating and sealing gel for power cable connection systems, such as joint shells and enclosures. Once mixed and poured into a suitable casing, it gives an IP68 degree of protection. It has very high dielectric and thermal properties and is made for high temperature applications. Its very low viscosity lets it surround and envelop any material in the joint. It cross links cold in less than 10 minutes. The isothermal peak is very slow, so it does not heat stress the materials it touches. It can be re-entered, even after long working periods. Raytech states it is non-toxic and has no shelf life. It can replace all types of resin.
