In Egypt, companies like</span> <span style="font-weight: 400">EG Core</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> often use hydrophilic polyurethane resins designed for heat. These resins expand on contact with water, seal even small cracks, and stay flexible after curing. Teams usually adjust accelerators and keep materials cool to control the reaction, and they inject during cooler hours when possible. </span></p>]]></content:encoded>
