Question: Which is more convenient ... A) airbags designed to be full all the time ... or, B) ones that inflate only at the time of impact? Here's another: Say you're on vacation. You're loading the family and all your gear into your new fuel-efficient micro-car for a relaxing 3-day weekend at a lake cottage to enjoy watersports. Do you ... A) blow up your inflatables and try to stuff them in the car ... or, B) wait until you've reached the lake to inflate them? If you answered "B," congratulations; you're capable of grasping a key advantage of Polywater's new UPR Utility Pole Restoration Product. One feature of new UPR is that it expands when deployed, creating an advantage over most competitive products, which do not expand. An expanding foam product offers benefits to the user. Think about it. To fill a football-sized woodpecker hole with a competitor's non-expanding product, the utility must store in the warehouse and/or their trucks--and then tote to the worksite--a package of at least equal or greater size. Multiply that volume by a few hundred or thousand holes and the crew's service truck starts to look like a clown car full of balloons. So one UPR benefit is that the smaller package allows for easier storage and transport. Another performance benefit is better wood integration. Expanding UPR foam presses itself dynamically in all directions to completely fill all the nooks and crannies of a pole cavity, eliminating air pockets and making better surface contact with the wood. Non-expanding products are simply poured or injected into a hole and sit there passively. At first glance the expanding foam feature may not seem like an obvious advantage over non-expanding competitive products. Now you know better. This is a key selling point. If Mars Candy (makers of M&M's®) sold UPR they might claim it, "expands in the hole, not in your service truck." |
