Characteristics

This data sheet covers the requirements for heat shrink end caps whose dimension will shrink to a predetermined size up on the application of heat above 125 deg. C. Color of the end caps is black. The end caps are pre-coated on the machine in film form or spiral form, with a hot melt adhesive of translucent, yellowish color.

Typical Applications

End caps are used for protecting the unused cable end from the environmental effects. They also offer insulation on the unused end of electrical cable connected to supply. Our end caps with film form coating are suitable for pressurized and with spiral form coating for unpressurized telecommunications cables and full range of electrical cables of PVC, XLPE, PILC or rubber type jackets. The application table gives the end cap dimensions and cable diameter range of usage for each model. For pressurized telecom cables, the end caps are fitted with a non return air valve.

Materials

The base material of the end caps is thermally stabilized, cross linked polyolefin. The end cap is coated inside with a polyamide based hot melt adhesive. The raw material is compounded with a package of chemical additives offering protection against oxidation, ozone , UV radiation etc.
