Appleton Kwiko A Sealing Cement and Filler, F Series
Appleton Kwiko A Sealing Cement and Filler is a purpose-built sealing compound system designed for use with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs in classified hazardous locations. The Kwiko A sealing cement is a specially formulated water-soluble powder that, when mixed to the proper proportions, is poured into sealing fittings and hardens to contain and restrict the passage of gases and explosions from one portion of a conduit system to another. Paired fiber filler forms dams around and between all conductors to prevent the sealing compound from leaking while it is poured in its liquid state. This product is rated for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations per NEC/CEC certifications and compliances, and it is intended strictly as an accessory compound for use with compatible Appleton sealing hardware rather than as a standalone conduit fitting.

Why Appleton?
Appleton engineers the Kwiko A sealing cement and fiber filler system to work specifically with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs, helping ensure a reliable, code-compliant seal against the passage of gases and explosions between sections of a conduit system. The water-soluble powder formulation and companion fiber filler give installers a straightforward, proven way to build dependable seals in classified areas, backed by NEC/CEC certifications and compliances for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations.
What this is: the F-series catalog numbers (F01, F04, F075, F1, etc.) are graduated package sizes of Appleton's Kwiko-series packing fiber only — they do not include the sealing cement powder. Packing fiber is poured into a sealing fitting first to dam the conduit opening before the cement is poured on top. If you need the cement itself, see the AC5A listing (5 lb bulk can, cement only); for a kit with both cement and fiber together, see the ACK6FA TwinPak listing.
