How It's Dispensed

EnduraPlug is a 2 part, 1:1 mix by volume methylene di-phenyl di-isocyanate, MDI, based expanding polyurethane rigid product. It is supplied in liquid form as two separate components. A pressurized dispensing system mixes it as it is dispensed. It’s designed to fill holes and voids in wooden and composite railroad crossties so that they can be respiked or re-lagged without damaging the surrounding wood, in accordance with AREMA chapter 30 requirements.

 

Cure time is temperature dependent, typically reacting in 60 seconds and full cure in 5 minutes. Typical expansion is approximately 40%.
