          Utility agents take heed. We now proudly introduce new Polywater® InstaGrout Sealant Barrier to the expanding (pun intended) line of unique sealants and adhesives. InstaGrout Sealant Barrier makes sealing transformer pad openings simple. InstaGrout helps prevent outages and service disruptions by creating a resilient and impermeable barrier that keeps out moisture and stops rodents, snakes, and insects from burrowing up through earthen gaps into transformer pad enclosures.

InstaGrout's polymer matrix technology is easy to mix on site, and requires no water. Field crews combine the pre-measured components and shake or stir for just 30 seconds. The InstaGrout Sealant is then poured into the transformer pad opening. The self-leveling mixture spreads out evenly throughout the pad opening and expands around complex conduit stub-ups. The only site preparation required is to plug any gaps or holes inside the opening that could allow product to flow outside the pad opening.

InstaGrout adheres to fiberglass, concrete, and polymer concrete pads. It tolerates environmental extremes and effectively seals uneven ground. Unlike concrete, InstaGrout will not settle, crack, or cave in when performing service work or transformer change-outs. The strong, lightweight seal withstands unlimited freeze-thaw cycles. It is compatible with cable jacket materials and will not corrode metal.

The product flyer (linked above) is now available for your use. Samples will be provided upon request for qualified field trials. Your factory Account Executive will be in contact soon to implement a sales strategy for your territory. This new product shows exciting potential.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week
The Joke
                              Two Drops of Water. An old woman is in the bar of a cruise ship and she asks the bartender for a scotch and two drops of water. As the bartender gives her a drink she says, "It's my birthday today and I'm on the cruise to celebrate my eightieth birthday." The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday I'll buy you a drink. In fact, I'll take care of this one for you." As the woman finishes her drink a woman to her right says, "I guess I should buy you a drink too." The 80-year-old woman says, "Alright, bartender, I want a scotch and two drops of water." So the bartender says, "Alright." As she finishes her drink, the man to her left says, "Since I'm the only one around you who hasn't bought you a drink I guess I might as well buy you one too." The old woman says, "Okay, bartender, I want a scotch and two drops of water." And the bartender says, "Coming right up." But as he gives her the drink he says, "Ma'am I'm dying of curiosity. Why the scotch and only two drops of water?" The woman replies, "Sonny, when you get to my age you learn that you can hold your liquor better than you can hold your water."
