42075005 - Arcair Sea-Dragon 3/8 x 18 Underwater Exothermic Cutting Rods (Box of 50)

Professional Underwater Exothermic Cutting Rods

The Arcair Sea-Dragon 42-075-005 represents the pinnacle of underwater cutting technology, designed specifically for commercial divers and marine salvage operations. These 3/8-inch by 18-inch exothermic cutting rods are engineered to deliver maximum thermal energy to the workpiece, allowing for the rapid severance of steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and even non-conductive materials like concrete and rock when used with an oxygen supply. The Sea-Dragon line is renowned for its reliability in the most challenging subsea environments, from offshore oil platform maintenance to emergency hull repairs.

Each rod features a specialized exothermic coating that, once ignited via an electric arc, continues to burn using the flow of oxygen and the rod's own material as fuel. This reaction generates intense heat, far exceeding the melting point of most structural materials. The 3/8-inch diameter is a standard size compatible with the Arcair Sea-Dragon torch as well as other industry-standard underwater cutting torches equipped with the appropriate collet. The 18-inch length offers an optimal balance between burn time and maneuverability, reducing the frequency of rod changes during critical bottom time.

Safety and durability are paramount in the design of the 42-075-005 rods. The exterior insulation is formulated to resist water absorption and prevent side-arcing, which protects the diver and the torch components from damage. This package contains 50 rods, ensuring a substantial supply for extensive cutting tasks. Whether clearing debris, cutting piles, or removing marine growth to access base metal, the Arcair Sea-Dragon rods provide the consistent performance required by professional underwater contractors.
