Guide for use: bicomponent gel for insulating electrical connections, Insugel

In this two-component gel application guide we explain how to apply Insugel, a sealing and insulating gel for electrical connections. Its formula provides a hermetic and transparent seal, with low viscosity that guarantees easy reaccessibility in the junction box. In addition, it offers protection against humidity, dust and other agents that can damage electrical components.

What is rapid cross-linking?

Rapid crosslinking is a polymerization process that transforms the gel into a solid barrier in a few minutes. With Insugel, this process is completed in approximately 10 minutes at room temperature. Because of its speed, it is a practical solution for installations where time is limited. The result is effective protection without the need to wait for long drying times.

Advantages of using bicomponent gels

Bi-component gels, such as Insugel, offer multiple benefits compared to other insulation methods:

• Moisture protection: forms a barrier that prevents water, dust or grease from entering the connections.
• Accessibility: allows access to the installation after curing, without damaging the wiring.
• Thermal versatility: works well in low temperatures and also maintains its effectiveness in warm environments.
• Long lasting: the gel does not expire or degrade over time.
• Easy application: its texture facilitates a uniform and bubble-free distribution.

Step-by-step application guide

Preparation of the material
Insugel consists of two parts: A (clear) and B (green). Before mixing, have a container and a spatula or stirring tool at hand.

Homogeneous mixing
Pour the two components in equal parts. Mix for 30 seconds until a uniform gel is obtained.

3. Pour the gel into the junction box
Fill the junction box until the junction points are completely covered. The gel should form a continuous layer.

4. Crosslinking time
Wait 10 minutes for the gel to solidify. In cold climates, this time may vary slightly.

Practical recommendations

• Do not reuse gel that has already started to reticulate.
• If you need to make adjustments, wait for the gel to cure completely before removing it.
• Do not apply on wet or dirty surfaces, as this may affect adhesion.

Where can Insugel be applied?

This gel is indicated for:

• Junction boxes
• Subway connections
• Outdoor facilities
• Industrial or marine environments

Any place where moisture or dust can damage the electrical system is suitable for this type of insulating gel.

Available formats

XB Components Insugel offers in several formats:

• 130 g, 150 g or 180 g of each component
• 500 g of each component
• 5 kg (upon request)

This allows the product to be adapted to the volume of work, from one-off installations to intensive professional use.

Thanks to its advanced formula, Insugel is a safe, durable and affordable option for insulating connections. This two-component gel user guide will help you apply it correctly and make the most of its benefits. It is an efficient solution for demanding environments, without technical complications.
