Question: Which voltage range does the Thick-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing cover?Īnswer: This is suitable for insulation in low voltage cable accessories up to 1 kV, or for sealing and rejacketing on low, medium and high voltage cable accessories.Specializing in engineered, mechanical and high performance plastic sheet, rods and tubes. When properly installed, TE’s Raychem heat-shrinkable tubes are long-lasting products that will help you improve your grid connectivity and reliability for decades. Above this temperature, heat shrink tubing can be expanded and formed in shapes that will remain in position while the temperature decreases below the crystalline melting point again. Due to cross-linking, the heat shrink material loses its melting properties allowing it to be heated to temperatures beyond the crystalline melting point without melting. The heat shrink material is comprised of polymeric materials exposed to a high-energy electron beam that causes permanent cross-linking, or intermolecular joining, of adjacent molecules. It is a cross-linked, thick-wall polyolefin, that will shrink to the original smaller extruded diameter when heat is applied.
Question: What is Thick-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing made of?Īnswer: Our WCSM uses highly specialized heat shrink materials engineering. Question: With what type of cable can I use the TE’s Raychem WCSM Thick-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing?Īnswer: Our Raychem Thick-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing can be used with low, medium, and high voltage electrical joints and splices and terminations of a wide range of cable size diameter. This tubing offers the electrical and physical properties of cable over sheath and the core insulation of low voltage cables combined with ruggedness and ease of installation. It can be used to seal against moisture of cable splices and for mechanical protection of outer rejacketing in low, medium and high voltage applications. The mechanical strength of our Raychem Thick-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing enables immediate back-filling of cable trenches after jointing. At the same time, the tubing’s inner sealant wall gives a reliable moisture seal over even extremely irregular shapes.
Our Raychem WCSM Thick-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing is made of heat shrink polymer, which is halogen-free and stabilized against UV irradiation. It is field-proven for long-term reliability in harsh climatic conditions and polluted environments, and has a decades-long shelf life when stored under normal conditions.ĭuring heating, the thick-wall tubing shrinks to the original smaller extruded diameter, fitting tightly over a wide range of cable sizes and cable accessories because of its high shrink ratio.
