Categories : Polywater: Cable Lubricant & Repaired Kit
The Polywater® Fiberglass Wax & Buff Kit is designed to help keep equipment safe and companies compliant as part of regular live line tool and insulated boom truck cleaning and inspection processes. The carnauba-based wax is formulated to restore the surface luster of insulated fiberglass and to help protect the gel coat from degradation between cleanings or testing.
- Best Practice: Once a boom has been properly cleaned with Polywater® BOOM™ Prewash Wipes, Polywater Wax should be used. This will protect the gel-coat surface and force water beading during misty or wet weather. All products used on boom trucks, including cleaners and protectants designed specifically for fiberglass booms, should be approved by the aerial lift manufacturer. Polywater products are approved by boom truck manufacturers. Refer to our boom truck cleaning and maintenance best practice for more detailed information to keep fleets in proper working order.
- Industry Recommendations: Companies should follow boom truck manufacturer guidelines on the frequency of dielectric testing, proper cleaning practice, and other maintenance procedures. The ANSI A92.2-1990 Standard (Section 5.4.3) also addresses proper dielectric testing intervals and field inspections for aerial truck testing. Follow manufacturer and industry guidelines on the maintenance of boom trucks for safe and long-lasting aerial fleets.
