What Is Silicone Cold Shrink Tube Used For?

Silicone cold shrink tube is made of special silicone rubber raw materials, with the advantages of large shrinkage ratio, excellent physical and mechanical properties, and puncture resistance, etc. It is suitable for waterproof and moisture-proof sealing of communication and cable TV connection joints, insulation sealing of wire and cable connections, and insulation protection of other types of connectors.

How Does Cold Shrink Tube Work

Silicone rubber cold shrink tube uses the memory principle of silicone rubber material, and can shrink back to its original size after expansion. During installation, just put the silicone rubber cold shrink tube on the cable, and then pull out the support tube to achieve sealing and insulation of the target component.

Unique Features

1. Insulation performance: Silicone rubber cold shrink tube has excellent insulation performance, which can effectively isolate the cable terminal from the external environment and prevent leakage accidents.

2. Weather resistance: Silicone rubber material has good resistance to high temperature, low temperature, ultraviolet rays, ozone and chemical corrosion, and is suitable for various harsh environments.

3. Easy installation: Silicone rubber cold shrink tube is easy to install, no heating is required, and the safety risk during installation is reduced.

4. Strong adaptability: It is suitable for cables of various specifications, and the corresponding size of cold shrink tube can be selected according to the cable outer diameter.

5. High reliability: In long-term operation, silicone rubber cold shrink tube can maintain good performance and reduce the cable failure rate.

Where To Use

1. Insulation protection of cable terminals

2. Waterproof and moisture-proof sealing of communication and cable TV connection joints

3. Sealing of cable joints

4. Insulation protection of cable branch boxes, switch cabinets and other equipment

5. Insulation protection of special parts such as power line crossing pipelines and bridges

Installation Instructions

Firstly, clean the cable surface to ensure that there is no dust, oil and other debris.

Secondly, select the appropriate size of cold shrink tube according to the cable diameter.

Then, put the cold shrink tube on the cable to cover the part to be protected.

Finally, tear off the support strip inside the cold shrink tube to allow the cold shrink tube to shrink naturally or use a heating gun or other tools to heat it to make it close to the cable.

The silicone rubber cold shrink tubing produced by Volsun has complete specifications, and has directional labels on the outside to facilitate customer operation. The expansion ratio can reach more than 5 times, and its radial shrinkage force is strong, which can meet the application requirements of most sealing scenarios. At the same time, this product also has excellent tear resistance and aging resistance, ensuring the reliability and timeliness of the seal, and is the best choice for sealing communication cables and wires and cables.

In addition, we can also produce various colors silicone cold shrink tube, including the transparent color. And the colorful cold shrink tubes have same performance as black ones, such as IP68 waterproof, sealing, insulation, etc. Welcome to contact us for more details!
