Demonstration of Dual Wall Heat Shrink Tubing Installation
DWP-125 Heat Shrink Tubing: Environmentally friendly mechanical protection and sealing against moisture and chemical.
Adhesive-lined, medium-wall DWP-125 heat shrink tubing is a versatile, environmentally friendly choice for many commercial applications that require mechanical protection and sealing against moisture and chemical ingress.
Overview
Typical applications include environmental sealing and protection of irregular shapes, such as wire splices and break-outs, in demanding industries such as appliance and satellite communication. DWP-125 tubing has an outer jacket of radiation-crosslinked, flexible, flame-retardant polyolefin. Unlike other typical flame-retardant tubings, DWP-125 tubing is free of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated biphenyl oxides (PBBOs). In Europe, these chemicals are classified as environmentally hazardous substances.
As DWP-125 shrinks, the inner adhesive liner melts and flows to seal and encapsulate components or splices contained within. Because DWP-125 has a three-tone shrink ratio, only a few sizes are needed to cover a wide range of substrate diameters, enhancing inventory efficiency. DWP-125 is UL-recognized and CSA-certified at 125°C, 600 V.
