Chico X fiber and Chico SpeedSeal
For sealing fittings and hubs
Applications:
Chico
®
A sealing compound:
• Forms a seal around each electrical conductor and between them, and inside of the sealing
fitting to restrict the passage of gases, vapors or flames through the sealing fitting at
atmospheric pressure and at normal ambient temperatures
Chico X fiber:
• Forms a dam between the integral bushing of the sealing fitting and the end of the conduit
and around the electrical conductors entering the hub
Chico SpeedSeal
™
compound:
• Designed to separate and form an explosionproof seal around each electrical conductor in
Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series EYS and EYD sealing fittings
• Restricts the passage of gases, vapors or flames through the sealing fitting
• Creates a seal for Class I, Division 1, Groups C, D and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, G
hazardous areas
Size ranges:
• Chico A compound – 1 lb. to 5 lbs. (provides 23-115 cubic inches of compound)
• Chico X fiber – 2 oz. to 1 lb.

Chico A
Chico A-P Intrapak
Features:
Chico A sealing compound:
• A water soluble powder that can be easily mixed and poured; the compound, unusually
dense, expands slightly when hardening and bonds to inner walls of sealing fittings;
compound hardens in 60-70 minutes
• Cure time is 8 hours for Class I, Groups C and D applications and 72 hours for Class I,
Group A and B applications
• 1 year shelf life from date of manufacture
• Ambient temperature range (after curing) is -40°F to +165°F
Chico A-P Intrapak
®
:
• Packaged in two compartment plastic pouch with precise amount of water for mixing; no
mixing or measuring implements required
• A hard squeeze of the water compartment forces the water into the compartment
containing the Chico compound; mixing is completed by kneading the pouch for one minute
• Mixed sealing compound is poured directly into the sealing fitting – no funnel required; the
package label indicates the size and quantity of sealing fittings each pouch will properly fill;
compound hardens in 60-70 minutes
Chico X fiber:
• A mineral wool that packs easily, forming around each conductor
Chico SpeedSeal compound:
• Installs a reliable seal in five minutes – every time
• Hardens to a dense, strong mass that is suitable for Class I, Division 1, Groups C, D and
Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, G hazardous applications
• UL and cUL Listed for use with
1
/2” to 2” Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series sealing fittings only
• Packaged in a 2 oz. or 6 oz. pre-measured cartridge, eliminating the need for measuring
before mixing
• Packaged with a screw-on nozzle for accurate dispensing
• Expands in the sealing fitting, eliminating the need to separate the individual conductors
with Chico X fiber
• Chico X fiber dams are not required in horizontal applications, reducing installation times
• Completely hardens in 20 minutes, simplifying use for OEMs
• Suitable for cold temperature environments without the costly need to build a temporary
shelter around sealing fittings; all ice crystals must be removed from inside the conduit seal
before dispensing Chico SpeedSeal compound; the compound should be kept above 10°C
(50°F) and below 85°F (29°C) prior to mixing; the sealing fitting must be kept at or above
4°C (40°F) during the 4 to 10 minute expansion/gel time of the compound
• 18 month shelf life
