Heatshrink tubes

StockCap has added a range of low-voltage medium-wall heatshrink tubes.

Specifically designed for protecting low-voltage terminations as well as insulating LV connectors in straight-through joints, the tubes are manufactured from cross-linked polyolefin and are hot-melt adhesive lined.

The hot-melt adhesive melts and flows as the tube is shrinking and creates a strong, permanent environmental seal between the cable jacket and the tube.

Once shrunk, the cable joint is ready for direct bury or outdoor applications. Tubes can be supplied unlined for mechanical protection applications like adhesion to plastic and metal.

Tubes are flame resistant, quick to install even in confined spaces and provide long-term resistance to weathering, moisture and dust contamination.

Polyolefin has an unlimited shelf life and complies with the requirements of ESI 09-11.

The tubes cover a range of cable diameters and are available in shrink ratios of 10-4, 16-6, 27-8, 30-12, 40-16, 50-20, 70-22, 100-28, 120-38, 140-42 and 160-50 mm.
