OBO Bettermann 2340038 115 GR-GN electrical insulating and sealing compound approx. 100 g natural content_copy

The product 115 GR-GN from OBO Bettermann is a durable elastic, fiber-free sealing compound, specifically developed for use in electrical and technical installations. It is used to seal cavities, for example in cable glands or similar components, to prevent the ingress of dirt, moisture, or water. The compound is supplied in stick form and is available in the color green-gray. It is based on a polymer and mineral mixture, ensuring high chemical resistance and electrical insulation.

Applications
This sealing compound is suitable for use in electrical installations, particularly for cable glands in enclosures, distributors, or other electrical components. It is used to create a tight, waterproof, and dustproof connection, ensuring the functionality of the electrical system over a long period. The application is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, with a continuous heat resistance up to +80 °C, allowing use in environments with moderate temperatures.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The compound is halogen-free, acid-free, and silicone-free, making it suitable for sensitive electrical systems. It is workable even at low temperatures, facilitating installation in cool environments or during winter. The low water absorption ensures that the compound does not swell or change shape when exposed to moisture. The corrosion-inhibiting effect protects adjacent metal parts from oxidation. The good insulating properties and dielectric strength of 16 kV/mm according to VDE 0291 Part 2 ensure safe electrical insulation, meeting requirements in electrical engineering.

Technology Explained Simply
Due to its elastic properties, the sealing compound is able to adapt to the shape of the area to be sealed, forming a tight seal. The polymer and mineral base provides high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The long-term elasticity means the compound retains its shape over time and does not crack or become brittle. The virtually unlimited shelf life allows for long-term storage, as long as the compound is kept in its original packaging and under suitable conditions.

Compatibility and Accessories
The sealing compound is specifically designed for use with cable glands and similar components. It can be combined with various electrical installation elements to ensure a tight and secure connection. It is used in conjunction with cable entry plates, enclosures, or other electrical components where sealing is required.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by inserting the stick into the cavity to be sealed and then compacting it until a tight connection is achieved. Processing is done at room temperature, with workability also available at low temperatures. No special tools are required, as the compound can be processed by hand or with simple tools. Curing occurs slowly, with elastic properties becoming effective shortly after application.

Advantages in Operation
The sealing compound provides a reliable seal that maintains its function over a long period. The corrosion-inhibiting effect extends the service life of installed components. The electrical insulating properties ensure a safe operating environment. The shelf life allows for flexible planning and stockholding without quality loss. Workability at low temperatures expands the range of applications, even in cold environments.
