Appleton Kwiko A Sealing Cement and Filler for Conduit Sealing Fittings
Appleton Kwiko A sealing cement and filler is a specially formulated water-soluble powder designed for use with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs. In classified areas, the cement is mixed to proper proportions, 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. A companion fiber filler forms dams around and between conductors to keep the compound from leaking out while it is poured in its liquid state. This product is rated for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations per NEC/CEC.

Why Appleton?
Appleton Kwiko A sealing cement and filler is engineered specifically to work with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs, giving installers a matched, purpose-built system for containing gases and explosions in classified conduit installations. The water-soluble powder formulation and dam-forming fiber filler work together for a dependable, code-compliant seal, backed by Appleton's reputation for reliable electrical sealing products.
What this is: AC5A is an 80 oz (5 lb) tin of Kwiko A sealing cement only — the water-soluble powder that hardens once poured into a sealing fitting. It does not include packing fiber. If your job also needs fiber (poured first to dam the fitting before the cement), see the F-series refill listing (fiber only) or the ACK6FA TwinPak (cement + fiber together in one kit).
