National WIRELOCK Socket Compound Kit - 2000 cc - 9 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 2000 cc container with a net weight of 9 lb, this large-format kit provides the compound volume required for high-output wire rope fabrication environments, large-diameter socket terminations, or production runs where multiple sockets are being poured in a single session. 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, supporting efficient throughput in both shop fabrication and field termination operations. 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 2000 cc kit is the preferred choice for high-volume fabrication shops, offshore rigging operations, and heavy lifting applications where large quantities of socketing compound are required and minimizing container changeovers is a priority.
