Cold Shrink Insulation Tube

Heat shrink tubing is a product that everyone is familiar with. Today, let's learn about cold shrink tubing-Cold Shrink Cable Accessories.

Cold shrink insulation tubing is a tubular cable accessory that uses a special cold shrink technology. It is generally used in conjunction with cold shrink terminals and has insulation, sealing and protection functions. Cold shrink technology is a pre-expansion technology. At room temperature, it can shrink through elastic retraction force, while heat shrink tubing needs to be heated and shrunk by heating tools. Common materials for cold shrink insulation tubing are silicone rubber and EPDM rubber.

What are the characteristics of cold shrink insulation tubing?

1. Cold shrink insulation tubing is easy to install. It only requires manual operation and can be easily installed without special training and professional tools. During construction, the support tube can be tightly attached to the cable and the joint, without open flame heating or tape or hot melt adhesive to strengthen the seal at the joint;

2. Cold shrink insulation tubing has excellent mechanical properties, electrical properties, aging resistance and corrosion resistance. It can be widely used for the connection and sealing of cables of different specifications, and can be used for power and communication cables in indoor, outdoor, overhead, underwater or buried occasions;

3. The cold shrink insulation tube has excellent resilience and "elastic memory", and "breathes" with the coated cable and connector, so it can play an excellent sealing effect, and still maintain a very good sealing effect in the dynamic environment of wind blowing and swaying; good resilience, "elastic memory", small permanent deformation, large radial contraction force, tight sealing under thermal expansion and contraction, excellent dustproof, waterproof and moisture-proof effect, no gaps caused by thermal expansion and contraction;

4. The cold shrink insulation tube has strong rebound, large radial retraction force, and is not easy to deform. Even if used for a long time, it still maintains permanent radial pressure and tight sealing, is not hard or brittle, and has good resistance to ultraviolet and ozone aging; has excellent dustproof, waterproof and moisture-proof performance;

5. The cold shrink insulation tube has excellent high and low temperature resistance, a wide range of operating temperatures. High flexibility, excellent anti-buckling performance, and strong sealing in a dynamic environment of long-term swinging.
