Demonstration of Dual Wall Heat Shrink Tubing Installation
QS1500 Heat Shrink Tubing : Flame-Retardant Jacket, Adhesive-Lined, Polyolefin tubing
QS1500 dual wall tubing comprises a flexible crosslinked, flame-retardant, polyolefin tubing lined with a hot-melt adhesive to provide faster installation times compared to other dual wall tubing, it is suitable for use in the automotive harness market and other harsh environments.
Overview
The QS1500 adhesive lining offers an economical and highly-effective method for permanently sealing and protecting splices, it will adhere to a wide variety of plastics, rubbers, and metals, including PVC, polyethylene, neoprene, lead, and steel. QS1500 has a 4:1 shrink ratio and is available in a comprehensive range of sizes to meet most component sealing requirements, and is compatible with a wide range of application equipment.
Features
- 2:1 shrink ratio.
- Operating temperature from –55°C up to +110°C.
- Minimum shrink temperature: 95°C.
- Minimum full recovery temperature: 121°C.
- Flammability Rating ASTM D2671.
- RoHS compliant.
Benefits
- Thin adhesive lining that bonds to outer tubing and surface below, forming a positive environmental seal.
- Flexibility of both tubing and adhesive.
- Moisture seal that is resistant to bending of the substrate.
- Good mechanical strength and cut-through resistance.
- Adhesive that bonds to a wide variety of plastics, rubbers, and metals, including polyethylene, neoprene, lead, and steel.
Applications
- Seals and protects simple in-line splices, bimetallic joints, and components from fluids, moisture, and corrosion.
- Repairs damaged wire insulation, especially where flexibility is required.
- Provides one-step electrical insulation and moisture sealing.
