Main functions of Heat Shrinkable Compound Tube

Heat shrinkable compound tube are a type of tubing that is used to protect and insulate cables against environmental factors such as moisture, vibration, and other types of physical damage.

Heat shrinkable compound tubes are typically made from a heat shrinkable polymer that contains different types of sealing compounds. These sealing compounds activate during the heat-shrinking process and create a watertight seal around the cables.

Heat shrinkable compound tubes are typically used in applications such as cable joints and terminations where underground or water immersion is present. Their watertight seal provides excellent protection against water ingress and/or electrical leaks.

Installation of heat shrinkable compound tubes is very easy. The tube is slipped over the cable center conductor, then it is heated to create a secure seal.

Heat shrinkable compound tubes are available in a range of sizes and lengths to suit different applications, and they meet the relevant industry standards for performance, such as being UV resistant and having high-temperature performance.

Insulation - Heat shrinkable compound tubes provide insulation to cables, protecting them from damage or failures due to exposure to moisture, dust, and other environmental factors.

Protection - The tubes offer protection to cables and wires from mechanical damage or abrasion caused by accidental impacts, friction against each other, or external objects. Additionally, they can help to prevent damage to the insulation layer caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, chemicals, or other corrosive substances.

Sealing - The sealing capability of heat shrinkable compound tubes can prevent water, dust, and other contaminants from entering into the cable, protecting equipment and preventing potential hazards.

Mechanical strength - Heat shrinkable compound tubes are capable of providing mechanical strength to the cable by supporting, absorbing stresses, and reducing the likelihood of the cable being damaged. This can help to extend the lifespan of the cable and reduce maintenance costs.

Heat shrinkable compound tubes are mainly used in electrical and telecommunications industries to protect a range of wires and cables. They come in different sizes, thicknesses, colors and materials for different applications.
