Appleton Kwiko A Sealing Cement and Filler
Appleton Kwiko A sealing cement and filler is formulated for use with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs in classified hazardous locations. The sealing cement is a specially formulated water-soluble powder that, once mixed to the proper proportions and poured into a sealing fitting, hardens to contain and restrict the passage of gases and explosions from one portion of a conduit system to another. The companion fiber filler forms dams around and between conductors so the sealing compound does not leak out while it is being poured in its liquid state. The kit is rated for ordinary (unclassified) locations per NEC/CEC.
Key Features
- Sealing Cement: A specially formulated water-soluble powder that is mixed to the proper proportions, poured into sealing fittings, and hardens to contain and restrict the passage of gases and explosions in classified areas.
- Fiber Filler: Makes dams around and between all conductors to prevent the sealing compound from leaking while it is being poured in its liquid state.
- Fitting Compatibility: Designed for use with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs.
- Application Guidance: Refer to the specific sealing fitting or sealing hub documentation for the quantities of cement and filler required.
- Classified-Area Function: Used to contain and restrict the passage of gases and explosions from one portion of a conduit system to another in classified areas.
Certifications & Compliance
- Rated for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations (NEC/CEC)

Typical Applications
- Classified Hazardous Location Conduit Sealing Systems
- Sealing of Appleton Sealing Fittings and Sealing Hubs
- Conductor Dam Formation Around Conduit Seals
- Prevention of Gas and Explosion Migration Through Conduit Runs
- Industrial and Commercial Conduit Installations
Why Appleton?
Appleton engineers sealing cement and filler specifically for compatibility with its own sealing fittings and sealing hubs, so installers can form reliable, code-compliant seals that contain gases and explosions in classified areas. The water-soluble powder formulation and fiber filler work together to keep the compound contained around conductors while it cures, supporting dependable performance for professional electrical work in hazardous and ordinary locations alike.
What this is: ACK6FA is the Kwiko A "TwinPak" kit — five individual 6 oz cement pouches plus a separate 1 oz fiber pouch, packaged together so both components needed for a proper seal (fiber dam + cement) are in one box. This differs from AC5A (a single bulk 5 lb can of cement only, no fiber) and the F-series listing (fiber-only refill packs, no cement).
