Insulation & Sealing of Cable Connections in Junction Boxes

Hellermann Tyton Pressgel

Silicone Gel for the Protection of Electrical Installations

Pressgel from Hellermann Tyton is the ideal solution for insulation and sealing of cable connections in junction boxes. Due to its protective properties it prevents corrosion and oxidation. The Hellermann Tyton Pressgel is particularly suitable for use in overhead installations and in damp or humid environments – for electrical installation up to 1kV.

Currently, electrical connections, inside empty enclosures or junction boxes are exposed to the risk of short circuit, oxidation and corrosion, which may over time cause irreparable damages. By using PressGel this can prevent many of the environmental hazards such as vibration, water ingress, insects and dust which can result in installation failures.

PressGel covers a range of applications from DIY projects such as protecting CCTV cameras or outdoor lighting from insects and/or rain to industrial applications such as mining, where an IP68 rating is required to protect electrical installations.
