DW FR Thin wall adhesive lined shrinkable tubing, flame retardant

Brief description: Multipurpose thin wall shrinkable tubing is manufactured by extrusion method from radiation-crosslinked polyolefin, flame retardant. Hot-melt adhesive based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is applied to the inside.

Application: Multipurpose thin wall adhesive lined shrinkable tubing  is used for electrical insulation up to 1000V, sealing and mechanical protection of wires, wires splices, cable fittings, metal products subject to corrosion, etc. During thermal shrinkage of the tube adhesive is melting and distributed over the surface of the product, filling the voids, and after hardening it provides sealing and additional mechanical strength.

Tubes DW FR can be used in the production of low-voltage end and connecting heat-shrinkable couplings, protection of connections of water-submersible pumps, electrical contacts, connections, etc., operating in a humid environment and not requiring increased requirements for reliability and fire resistance

 

Packing specification: Tube is supplied in spools: 25, 50 or 100 meters (depending on diameter) which placed on carton cores or in pieces. Can be packed in carton boxes and packaging film

Storage: in clean, dry rooms in the supplier's packaging or in cardboard boxes, at a relative humidity of up to 70%, at temperatures from -10 ° C to +40 ° C, avoiding sudden temperature changes and exposure to direct sunlight. The distance to any heating sources should be at least 1 meter (without exceeding the maximum storage temperature). Storage conditions should exclude the influence of aggressive medium: acids, alkalis, fuels and lubricants, solvents, etc. Tubes with adhesive layer require storage in tight bags/boxes to avoid contamination of the adhesive layer of the tubes with dust and dirt inclusions of various origins, which can negatively affect the adhesion.

The shelf life is at least 2 years from the date of shipment subject to storage conditions.

Certification: Not subject to mandatory certification.
