Answer: Our Wraparound Sleeves are for insulating, sealing or as rejacketing material for 1000V power cables, as well as cable jacket repair for medium voltage power cables. They may also be used as protection on various substrates, where installation space is tight or difficult to reach.
Question: What are the heat shrink Wraparound Sleeves made of?
Answer: The Wraparound Sleeves are made of our Raychem heat shrink material. This specially-formulated medium-wall, cross-linked polyolefin shrinks to its original smaller extruded diameter when heat is applied. 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. 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. Above this temperature, heat shrink can be expanded and formed in shapes that will remain in position while the temperature decreases below the crystalline melting point again.
When properly installed our Raychem heat-shrinkable repair sleeves are long-lasting products that will help you improve your grid connectivity and reliability for decades.
