National WIRELOCK Socket Compound Kit - 250 cc - 1.25 lb

Product Description

The National W416-7 WIRELOCK Socket Compound Kit is a professional-grade, liquid resin-based socketing compound designed for the permanent termination of wire rope in open and closed spelter sockets. Supplied in a 250 cc container with a net weight of 1.25 lb, this kit provides a practical mid-range compound volume suited for single socket terminations on small to medium diameter wire rope assemblies, as well as field repair and maintenance operations where portability and minimal waste are priorities. WIRELOCK is a two-component resin system that, when properly mixed and poured into a prepared socket, cures to form a high-strength, rigid termination capable of developing the full breaking strength of the wire rope.

The W416-7 compound is supplied in liquid form and achieves an initial set in approximately 20 minutes under standard conditions, allowing for efficient turnaround in both shop and field socketing environments. The cured compound exhibits a specific gravity of 1.73 and a tensile strength of 16.15 N/sq-mm, providing the mechanical integrity required for demanding load-bearing applications. The compound has a flash point of 89°F and a viscosity of 3 to 4 poise, and is identifiable by its opaque green/mustard color in the uncured state. The operating temperature range of -65°F to 240°F makes it suitable for use across a broad range of environmental conditions, including cold-weather and elevated-temperature industrial environments.

Proper socket preparation is critical to achieving full termination efficiency with WIRELOCK compound. Wire rope ends must be broomed, cleaned, and degreased before pouring, and the socket must be properly aligned and supported during the cure period. The W416-7 250 cc kit is well suited for contractors, rigging shops, and maintenance crews that require a reliable, self-contained socketing compound in a convenient size for on-site or low-volume fabrication work.
