What is Cold Shrinkable Tube?

2024-05-13

Most people are familiar with heat shrink, but many have not heard of cold shrink. So what is cold shrink and when and where do you use it? We'll use this article to answer those questions.

1. What is cold shrink?

Cold shrink is a type of rubber tube or bushing that can be shrunk to a size many times smaller than its original size. Unlike heat shrink, the term "cold" indicates that it does not require any type of heat to shrink in size.


2.How to Shrink Cold Shrinkable Tube?

We want to shrink the cold shrinkable tube, but it is held in place by an internal plastic core which stopped it from shrinking. That plastic core is perforated and has a section of tube that can be pulled to make removal very easy. Once you start pulling the inner core out, the tube shrinks immediately.

3.What is cold shrinkable tube made of?

Cold shrinkable tube is usually made of one of two types of rubber: EPDM or silicone.They all have their advantages: EPDM rubber tends to be stronger and able to withstand impact, making it ideal for cold shrinkage that may come into contact with other materials, such as internal machinery. Silicone will shrink to a smaller, tighter size than EPDM, making it ideal for applications such as weatherproofing cell phone towers.

4.Where cold shrinkable tube can be used?

One of the most popular uses for cold shrinkable tube is cell phone towers, which are often used to protect cable connections from water ingress and weather. Cold shrinkable tube is also used for various types of cable protection, including cable trough applications, and in very confined or hazardous spaces where hot air guns or blowtorches are difficult to use. Cold shrinkable tube is very popular in the telecom market as well as in the oil, energy, cable TV and satellite industries.
