POLYWATER UPR WOOD UTILITY POLE REPAIR
Polywater UPR Wood Utility Pole Repair is an effective solution for repairing and restoring wood utility poles, enhancing their life expectancy and reliability. It fills and repairs woodpecker holes, cracks, and hardware holes on poles and cross arms. Available in two formulations—UPR-PR and UPR-NF (no flow)—the expanding foam formula integrates with the wood to restore structural integrity, preventing rot and decay.
Polywater UPR kits offer superior adhesion, filling wood fibers and curing to the strength of Southern Yellow Pine and Douglas Fir. The quick-mixing two-part resin formula is easy to apply with a standard high-ratio caulking gun. UPR-NF increases viscosity as it expands, minimizing leaks and ensuring a faster application.
Key Features:
- Expands & Fills: Foam fills irregular cavities, eliminating the need for pilot holes.
- Strong Adhesion: Integrates with wood fibers, offering long-lasting repairs.
- Durable & Gaffable: Foam is gaffable once hardened, ensuring safety during maintenance.
- Quick & Easy Application: Mixes directly in the nozzle with a standard caulking gun, no special tools required.
- OSHA Compliant: Meets OSHA standards, ensuring poles are safe for climbing after repair.
- Moisture Resistant: Absorbs less than 1% water after 7 days in high temperatures.
Tested Performance:
- Compressive strength similar to Southern Yellow Pine and Douglas Fir per ASTM D1691.
- Successfully tested with Buckingham gaffs for safe climbing.
- Temperature range from -40°F to 150°F (-40°C to 66°C), suitable for various climates.
UPR-PR vs. UPR-NF: The UPR-NF (No Flow) version is thicker and designed to fill cracks and voids without leaking, making it ideal for vertical cracks or areas exposed to moisture. Its viscosity helps prevent drips or leaks, ensuring a more controlled application. On the other hand, UPR-PR (Polymer Resin) is a more liquid formula that flows easily around fillers, making it ideal for wider cavities and helping to save material by filling spaces more efficiently.
