Hilltop Products Ltd Heat Shrink Tubing Kit - 50 Clear Tube Sleeving pack

Product Information

Note 4:If the object to be covered is metal or heat conductive care must be taken to ensure the object is pre-heated to avoid “cold spots” or “chill marks” so to ensure a tight and smooth fitting of the tubing. Dual-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing: Dual-wall tubing consists of an inner layer of adhesive and an outer layer of heat-shrinkable material. When heated, the tubing shrinks, and the inner adhesive layer melts and creates a moisture-resistant seal. HellermannTyton provides workers and decision-makers involved in manufacturing with a solution fit to their specific needs, which is tailor-made for their specialist area or, to put it another way, every piece of HellermannTyton heat shrink tubing makes problems shrink, even before they arise. Environmental protection:The tubing provides resistance to moisture, chemicals, abrasion, and UV radiation.

The key factors to which we owe our success are the unique and quite specific properties of our heat shrink tubing . Starting with the choice of material, for example, the different requirement demands raised by being used in the sensitive aerospace industry orrail transportation sector are focused on the self-extinguishing fire protection properties of heat shrink tubing. Heat Shrink Connectors https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/wire-terminals-splices/splice-connectors/Specialty Heat Shrink Tubing: There are various specialty heat shrink tubing options available for specific applications. Fluoropolymer (e.g., Teflon):Fluoropolymer heat shrink tubing offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and solvents. This means HellermannTyton sets the pace with each new piece of heatshrinkable tubing when it comes to providing protection against mechanical, environmental, chemical or electrical effects. The operating temperature varies per tubing type. This is dependent of the compound used for the tubing type Identification and colour coding:Heat shrink tubing is available in various colours, allowing for easy identification and colour coding of different wires or cables.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): PVC heat shrink tubing is known for its flexibility, durability, and flame-retardant properties. It is commonly used in applications where resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals. The sleeve provides excellent corrosion protection,abrasion and weather resistance making it also ideal for LV cable joint outer protection. The high shrink ratio limits the number of sizes to only 6. Each size covers a range of cable sizes. RMS is available in various standard lengths. Other lengths available on factory request. The cable repair sleeveRMS is especially useful for repair of long and buried cables where it would be difficult or impossible to use a shrink tubing. Strain relief:By shrinking around the wires or cables, it helps relieve stress on the connection points and prevents the wires from bending or breaking.

Polyolefin (PO):Polyolefin tubing is the most widely used and versatile type of heat shrink tubing. According to the requirements set, the shrink ratio, that is to say the precise size to which heat shrink tubing is capable of shrinking, can be just as important in this process as dispensing with halogeneous materials in the manufacturing of heat shrink tubing. The 80-20 rule means that a heat shrink tube should shrink by a maximum of 80% and a minimum of 20%. Every single piece of heat shrink tubing has to match its specific area of work to the highest degree of accuracy – from batch production, for example as the insulating handles of tools, to heat shrink tubing sleeves for maintaining underground cables which have already been laid and which would be extremely expensive to repair in terms of resources and costs without using corresponding specialised heat shrink tubing (heat shrink cable repair sleeves). Note 5:When cutting heat shrink tubing and wrap around sleeves to the desired length special care has to be taken to ensure smoothly cut ends. Poorly cut and irregular edges can cause heat shrink tubing and sleeves to split during shrinkage.
