Properties
The corrosion protection compound XK 19 is based on
higher hydrocarbons by adding of amorphous polyolefins.
It has to be processed hot.
Application
The Corrosion Protection Compound XK 19 is used to seal
cable ends and can replace the use of heat shrink caps.
XK 19 shows good adhesive properties on solid grounds
(e.g. PVC, XLPE, metal) and has a good workability. The
compound is water proof and resistant to water and
weather influences.
After cooling XK 19 is mechanical stable and elastic
and does not drop of when hit.
The compound can be removed by use of a knife.
Remains can be removed with cleaning agent or
solvent. When doing cable works, usually the whole
cable end is removed.
The caution rules for handling of heat sources and hot
liquids have to be considered.
Processing
Carefully melt the XK 19 in the tin it is supplied. Before
heating be sure that no humidity is in the tin. Heat the side
of the container first. By this a „liquid channel“ is created
and the compound can flow to the top.
The processing temperature is between 80°C to 100 °C.
After heating, dip the cable ends 5 - 6 cm into the liquid
compound and pull them out again. Each dip creates a
layer of about 2 mm. In order to have thicker layers you
can dip in the cable end as often as required. Please let
the compound solidify after each dipping process.
You can use the XK 19 many times without changing the
characteristics. Please note, that the colour will change
from yellow to bright brown.

Storage
The compound has an unlimited shelf life when stored
in dry conditions. Rusty tins should not be used to heat
the compound therein. Refrain from using heavy rusty
tins.
