Heat Shrink Products
Heat shrinkable products
Heat-shrinkable products include, for example, the so-called heat-shrinkable tubing. When exposed to heat, these special tubes contract and enclose damaged wires or cables. The resulting insulation reliably protects against damage, but also against environmental influences such as dust and moisture. Heat-shrinkable products therefore sometimes prevent short circuits. Depending on the material, temperatures of around 120 to 200 degrees Celsius are required for the shrinking process. Hot air guns with special nozzle attachments are often used for the heating process. Heat-shrinkable tubing is generally used wherever cables have to be repaired or laid. Heat-shrinkable products are also used for the electrical insulation of open solder joints. Precisely because of their water-repellent properties, shrink tubing is also popular with automotive workshops for repairs. In addition to heat-shrinkable tubing, there are also heat-shrinkable sleeves. Damaged areas are enclosed with the aid of an adhesive tab. The sleeve is then heated and fits tightly around the area to be repaired, reliably sealing it.
