Heat shrinkable sleeves
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION:
USE:
Thin wall, flame retarded radiation cross-linked polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing,
assembled as organized cut sleeves in a “ladder” configuration. 3:1 shrink ratio.
Identification of wires and cables by computer-based printing onto sleeves.
Sleeves can also provide terminal insulation and strain relief. Suitable for many
commercial applications.

See TE specification RW2510 for full RPS performance & dimensional details.
Some types of neoprene insulation used in jackets contain additives that can migrate to the surface and
discolor the polyolefin RPS sleeves. Any discoloration is dependent on the composition of the neoprene,
combined with application conditions. Users should independently evaluate the suitability of RPS sleeves
for applications involving neoprene-jacketed cables.
