Heat-shrinkable Tubing
Applications
Designed to provide
consistent sealing for cable
bundles and the back of
connectors. The wires are
placed within the channels
of a specially formulated
hot-melt adhesive profile,
then covered by dual-wall,
heat-shrinkable tubing with
a flame-retardant, radiation-
crosslinked outer wall and
hot-melt-adhesive inner
wall. When the tubing is
heated, the hot-melt
adhesive melts and the
tubing shrinks, forcing the
molten adhesive to fill all
the voids within the wire
bundle and tubing. The
result is a solid plug of
adhesive molded around
each wire in the bundle,
creating a moisture-
resistant seal.

Heat-shrinkable Tubing
Applications
Rugged, heavy wall RHW
tubing is specifically
designed for insulating,
protecting and sealing
electrical connections and
joints in low-voltage cables.
It provides splice insulation
thickness equal to or
greater than standard wire
insulation manufactured to
common industry standards.
RHW is a suitable choice
for applications where
maximum reliability and
product performance, and
simplified installation are
required. Because RHW is
heat-shrinkable, a minimum
number of sizes are needed
to cover a wide range of
cables and splice diameters.

Heat-shrinkable Tubing
Applications
Medium wall, general
purpose RMW tubing is
specifically designed for
use in a broad range of
low-voltage applications.
