Heat-shrink tubing with black adhesive, 18 mm per meter

This is a sleeve designed for electrical insulation and mechanical protection of connections. It features an internal adhesive layer that melts when heated, providing enhanced sealing against moisture, water, and contaminants once shrunk.

The initial diameter of this sleeve is 18mm before heat application. It is designed to shrink and conform to smaller-diameter components, providing effective coverage.

The black color gives the sleeve excellent UV resistance, which is essential for outdoor or sun-exposed applications. It also provides a discreet and professional finish.

The integrated adhesive, which melts during retraction, creates a watertight and durable seal. It ensures perfect adhesion to the cable or connector, preventing any water, moisture, or contaminants from infiltrating, and providing anti-corrosion protection.

Yes, it is specifically designed to provide enhanced mechanical protection. It effectively protects splices and cable terminations from abrasion, impacts, and other physical stresses, thereby extending their lifespan in harsh environments.

For installation, slide the tubing over the area to be protected (cable, connector). Then apply a uniform heat source, such as a heat gun, across the entire surface of the tubing. Continue heating until it shrinks tightly around the component and the melted adhesive is visible at the ends.

The most suitable tool to shrink this sleeve is a heat gun. It allows controlled and uniform heat application, essential for optimal shrinkage and proper activation of the adhesive.

A heat-shrink tubing is properly retracted when it tightly conforms to the shape of the cable or connector, without folds or air bubbles. Additionally, a slight bead of melted adhesive should be visible at the ends, confirming adhesive activation and sealing.

Yes, this conduit is sold by the meter and can be easily cut to the exact length you need for your specific application. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors for a clean cut.

Yes, heat-shrink tubing of this type generally offers good resistance to a variety of common chemicals, oils, and solvents. This property contributes to the protection and durability of connections in potentially harsh environments.

Yes, it is perfectly suited for repairing damaged cable insulation, insulating splices, wire terminations, or bundling and protecting cable harnesses, providing a robust and durable solution.

Yes, its black color provides excellent resistance to ultraviolet (UV) rays. This feature is crucial for installations exposed to sunlight, as it prevents material degradation and significantly extends the lifespan of protected cables and connections.

Yes, the hot-melt adhesive used in this sleeve is formulated to create and maintain reliable, long-lasting waterproofing. It resists temperature variations and exposure to moisture, ensuring consistent protection against leaks over time.

Manufactured from robust and flexible polymer materials, this sleeve is designed to maintain its structural integrity and flexibility. It minimizes the risk of cracking or premature hardening, even when subjected to harsh environmental conditions.

This conduit is sold by the meter. This allows you to purchase exactly the quantity needed for your projects, avoiding waste and offering maximum flexibility for your requirements.
