Reaction between isocyanate groups and active hydrogens is induced preferentially to reaction with a small amount of water in the mixture by means of a catalyst, for example a mono-organic-mercuric compound. When the mixture attains a viscosity of at least 50,000 centipoises, its composition is so chosen that reaction between the water and the isocyanate groups now takes place aided by a further catalyst, producing carbon dioxide sufficient to expand the mixture to 105-125% of its original size, so that the cable is firmly blocked.
