Features

• RS Pro Soft Polyolefin Thermal Shrinkage Tube, Shrinkage Ratio 2:1
• RS Pro offers high-quality, easy-to-*** soft polyolefin thermal shrinkage tubes made from soft, flame-retardant polyolefin. This heat-shrink tube shrinks to 1/2 of its original diameter at a high shrinkage rate of 2:1. This heat-shrinkable tube meets the requirements of a wide range of high-tech and industrial standards, including SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5 Class 1.
• What is a heat shrink tube? A heat-shrink tube is a type of extruded plastic tube that can be cut to fit the size of a wire or cable joint to protect and insulate the connection. When heated, the tube shrinks to form a fixed protective seal. The amount of shrinkage dep***s on the heat ratio. When you buy a tube, it is stretched, and this stretched tube remembers its shape, and when it is heated, it returns to its original state. The larger the size variation, the greater the shrinkage to cover.
• Features and Advantages of Soft Polyolefin Thermal Shrinkage Tubes • Soft polyolefin is a material derived from polyethylene and is one of the most commonly ***d thermal insulation materials. High flexibility, fast contraction and excellent durability. When this polyolefin tube is heated, it shrinks in half radially from its original size beca*** the shrinkage ratio is 2:1. Soft polyolefin tubes have the following characteristics:
• Very flexible Shrinkage ratio of 2:1, reduced to half original diameter Flame retardant Operating temperature range: –55→+135°C, maximum temperature 200°C (short duration) Shrinkage temperature: 90°C (minimum) Excellent electrical insulation characteristics General liquid and solvent resistance SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5 Class 1 compliant
• Polyolefin heat shrink tubing What is it ***d for?
• This polyolefin heat shrink tube is highly versatile and is ***d in military, aerospace, automotive, industrial, electronic, and construction equipment applications. Heat-shrink tubing is ***d to protect and seal cable joints and inline components such as shut-off terminals and wire splices. It can also be ***d to repair insulation from existing worn or torn cables and wiring. Main application:
• Electrical insulation and protection of resistors and capacitors Protection of wires and small parts against moisture, dust, and chemicals Mechanical strain relief to the joints of cables and connectors prevents damage by b***ing and stretching Harness wires, cables, and tubes Tie and organize identification colored cables, wires, and components
• Use of heat-shrink tubes
• Measure the diameter of the wire or cable and select a heat-shrink tube of the appropriate size. Cut the tube long enough to cover the heated connections or joints. Then slide it into the wire. After connecting the cable or wire, cover the joint with a heat-shrink tube and heat with a heat gun until the tube shrinks and wraps tightly around the joint.
