 Hydra-Seal™ Foam Leaks Water  FST™ Foam Holds Water |
If you find yourself in the position of selling or defending FST against the Hydra-Seal™ S-60 WTF Conduit Sealant Kit (from Arnco Corporation, aka A-D Technologies, aka Audax Group, aka Dura-Line Holdings, aka CHS Capital, aka CHS Private Equity V LP), thank your lucky stars and get ready to party. This is when selling gets fun. Polywater's laboratory has produced an FST Lab Report to evaluate and compare Arnco® Hydra-Seal™ S-60 to Polywater FST Foam. You will want this report. The photos at left are only part of the report's compelling argument in favor of FST. The top photo shows Hydra-Seal™ S-60 WTF leaking blue-dyed water after 24 hours. WTF, indeed. The bottom photo shows FST Foam holding water after 2 years! The report lists no less than 17 reasons FST is superior to Hydra-Seal™ S-60, too many reasons to write about here. Get the report. The report summary states: "Polywater® FST Sealant has a higher closed cell content and higher compressive strength than the Arnco® S-60 Sealant. As a result, it creates a stronger seal and blocks water more effectively. The Polywater® FST Kit is designed to allow multiple duct seals per cartridge while the Arnco® S-60 Kit is designed for only one use. Polywater® FST Kit is packaged in a field ready kit and contains abrasive cloth, cleaning wipe and positioning rod. The installer does not have to locate additional material to get the job done. Both the Polywater and Arnco products are light and humidity sensitive. The FST cartridge is packaged in a nitrogen-purged foil bag with desiccant to ensure adequate shelf life." Yes, the S-60 is generally cheaper than the FST-250. So is the toilet paper at work. You get what you pay for. Value matters more than price. |
