Polywater Type RP Cable Cleaner | Fast-Evaporating HV/MV Solvent

Polywater Type RP Cable Cleaner — Product Overview

Polywater Type RP is a fast-evaporating, residue-free electrical solvent engineered for high-voltage and medium-voltage (HV/MV) cable preparation. It effectively removes semi-conducting cable shield, dielectric oils, silicone greases, filling gels, transformer oils, and other contaminants commonly found in electrical construction and maintenance. Type RP delivers 56 kV dielectric strength and cleans quickly without leaving residue, ensuring insulation surfaces are ready for splicing, terminating, or sealing applications. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Type RP is available in PEL-PAC presaturated wipes, aerosol cans, and bulk liquid containers. The PEL-PAC system minimizes solvent vapor exposure, eliminates spills, and promotes proper cleaning technique using non-linting, non-tearing wipes—ideal for field crews and confined-space environments. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
