Soak Period

Dear Ms. Frogy,

Is it true that Toads are actually Frogs? 

Also, what happens to the water that is in the cable once your fluid is injected? When your fluid meets the water does it chemically change into something?   One more question please.  Why is it that older injection methods leave soak bottles on for 60-90 days (and sometimes they forget to pick them up entirely) and you claim you have no soak bottles at all. Have you been in the pond too long?

Thank you

Dear Curious-

Yes, toads are frogs, although I am loath to admit it.  My skin is moist and beautiful and toads are so ... well let's put it this way, we don't hang out in the same places.  Frogs love water and at first, so too do Ultrinium™ 732/733 fluid and Perficio™ 011 fluid.  These fluids react with water consuming it, and then they keep the water away as they preferentially wet the polymeric cable insulation.  My colleagues at Novinium patented a new generation of catalyst technology (U.S. Patent 7,700,871) used in both the Ultrinium and Perficio fluids that eliminates the need for the unsavory soak periods.  Soak periods are undesirable for a variety of safety and economic reasons.

Perpetually wet and proud of it,

Thermo
