Product Notes
- Poles must be inspected and tested before climbing per OSHA 1910.269 App D. Repairs made with Polywater’s utility pole foam satisfy OSHA requirements and reduce the likelihood of decay.
- Compressive strength is similar to Southern Yellow Pine and Douglas Fir tested by ASTM D1691.
- Repels moisture. Absorbs less than 1% water after aging for 7 days at 122°F (50°C)
- Seals are gaffable. The load to penetrate the UPR seal was measured with a pole cut out test using a Buckingham gaff. Values fall within the same range as Southern Yellow Pine and Douglas Fir.
- In Service Temperature Use Range: -40°F to 150°F (-40°C to 66°C)
- Can be injected directly into a woodpecker hole, no need to drill an extra pilot hole.
- Expands to fill all crevices and to the top of the woodpecker hole.
