FM-103 is a
two component urethane elastomer that is specifically formulated to rapidly mold
impact resistant cable splices. Once cured, FM-103 forms a tough polymer that
is ideally suited for flexible, abrasive resistant parts that must perform in
wet environments. FM-103 has a low viscosity and is easily mixed and poured.
The FM-103 is only one part of the SmartMold Cable Repair System. The SmartMold
System is designed specifically for geophysical cable repair.

CURING |
FM-103
is full cure in 24 hours at 72 F° (22 C°). Colder curing temperatures will
lengthen cure times. Warmer temperatures will greatly reduce working and Cure
times. |
