In order to provide a tight-fitting protective seal around stranded and solid wires, connections, joints, and terminals, electrical installers often choose shrink tubes. When it comes to shrinkable products, we will say 2 different kinds of shrinkable product, they are heat shrink and cold shrink. These products can be widely used in electrical insulation, mechanical protection, environmental sealing and stress relief industries, such as back-end connector sealing, branching and transition from connector to cable.
The well-known heat shrink product utilizes materials in the form of artificially expanded plastic tubes. When exposed to heat, the tube shrinks to insulate the cable joint or terminal from water, dust and other debris. And for a wide range of applications, cold shrink tube provides similar functions as heat shrink tube, but does not require a heat source.
Cold shrink cable accessories are usually made of materials such as silicone rubber material, which have high elasticity at ambient temperature. What all applications have in common is that they are designed with a removable internal support system to prevent recovery before installation.
For cold shrink products, the inner supporting core of the extended will be removed when installation. Then, the cold shrink tube narrows around the remaining material inside and the product is completed with a tightly supporting core whose diameter is much smaller than the original cold shrink product. It allows neat installation on the prepared cable in a compact environment.
We have our own factory, can control the quality easily through the whole production process from the raw material to finished products. Silicone rubber and EPDM are main two kinds of material for our cold shrink tube, used for different application field. In most cases, silicone cold shrink tube mainly used for communication industry, while EPDM cold shrink tube used for electric power field of some coaxial cables and power cables, etc. Up till now, we have cooperated with the customers from more than 88 countries and regions all over the world!
