Raytech Magic Gel - Two-Component Insulating Gel for Cable Joints and Boxes, 300 ml to 10 Litres

Raytech Magic Gel is a two-component insulating and sealing gel for power-cable connections. Poured into a joint shell or an enclosure, it surrounds the conductors, cross-links cold in about 10-15 minutes and gives IP68 - and it can replace all types of resin. Raytech is an Italian manufacturer that specialises in gel-based insulation for electrical connections: pre-filled gel boxes and joints that are ready to use straight from the pack, and insulating gels and rubbers for filling joints, boxes and enclosures.

It is made for energy systems: 1 kV operation and 4 kV testing, 90 °C operating and 250 °C short-circuit temperatures, humid locations and flooded wells. The gel stays soft, so the connection can be re-entered after years, and it has no shelf life. Five pack sizes, each with its own page and price.

How to choose the pack

Choose by the volume you need to fill: add up the free space inside the joint shells or boxes and allow a little extra. 300 ml and 420 ml suit one or two joints; 1000 ml and 2 x 1000 ml suit a day of jointing; 10 litres suits large boxes or stock for a team. The larger packs work out cheaper per litre.

Why choose Magic Gel

• Replaces resin - cast in a suitable casing, the gel gives IP68 and can replace all types of resin
• Cures cold and fast - cross-links in about 10-15 minutes at 23 °C with a very low exothermic peak, so it does not heat-stress the parts it touches
• Very low viscosity - surrounds and envelops any material, filling the spaces between conductors
• Re-enterable - stays a soft gel, so the connection can be opened even after long service
• Made for power cable - 1 kV operation, 4 kV testing, 90 °C operating and 250 °C short-circuit temperatures
• Safe and long-lasting - not classified as hazardous under CLP, completely non-toxic, no shelf life

How to use it

1. Make the connection inside a suitable casing - a joint shell or an enclosure - and close it.
2. Mix the two components for no more than 30 seconds, then pour within 1 minute so the gel fills the casing around the connection.
3. Leave it to cross-link: about 10-15 minutes at 23 °C. The cured gel stays soft and can be opened again later.

Where it is used

• Filling joint shells on 1 kV power cables
• Sealing junction and connection boxes in wet locations and flooded wells
• Underground and submerged connections for lighting, pumps and fountains
