Resin for underground joint protection Phoenix 2K Resin jointing compound from Phoenix International, Denmark, has recently been used on several major new projects in the Middle East. The 2K Resin

jointing compound, specially designed for MV and HV underground joint protection, has passed IEC60840 testing for the sixth consecutive test for certification on projects in Qatar for a major Scandinavian Cable producer. Following the failure of other protection systems during installation in Qatar, project managers re-tested 2K Resin for certification with their customer. 2K Resin will now be installed on all underground joints on this high voltage project. Phoenix International will also provide on-site support and consultation for the first few joint bays. 2K Resin has been used successfully throughout the UAE on large high voltage projects for the last few years, and the use of this type of high-level joint protection continues to expand thought the region, as both cable producers and operators see the need for long term protection of underground cable joints.
