Heat shrink sleeving is a versatile and essential component in various industries, including electrical, automotive, and telecommunications. It is used for insulation, protection, and sealing of cables, wires, and joints. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to heat shrink sleeving, focusing on polyolefin and PVC type sleeves, jointing kits, wrap-arounds, and cable protection for low-temperature (LT) and high-temperature (HT) applications.

Polyolefin and PVC Type Sleeves

Heat shrink sleeves are available in two primary materials: polyolefin and PVC. Each material has its unique properties, making them suitable for different applications.

• Polyolefin Sleeves: Polyolefin sleeves are known for their excellent chemical resistance, high dielectric strength, and superior mechanical properties. They are ideal for use in harsh environments and can withstand temperatures ranging from -65°C to +125°C. Polyolefin sleeves are available in various colors, sizes, and wall thicknesses to cater to diverse applications.
• PVC Sleeves: PVC sleeves are more economical than polyolefin sleeves and are suitable for applications that do not require high chemical resistance or dielectric strength. They are available in a wide range of colors and sizes and can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C.

Jointing Kits

Jointing kits are essential for creating secure and reliable connections between cables and wires. These kits typically include heat shrink tubing, adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing, and heat shrink connectors. The adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing provides an additional layer of insulation and protection against moisture and contaminants.

Wrap Arounds

Wrap-arounds are used to protect and insulate cables and wires from mechanical stress, abrasion, and environmental factors. They are available in various materials, including polyolefin, PVC, and rubber. Wrap-arounds can be applied to individual wires or entire cable bundles and are available in different sizes and colors.

Cable Protection

Heat shrink sleeving is an effective method for protecting cables and wires from damage caused by mechanical stress, abrasion, and environmental factors. The sleeves can be applied to individual wires or entire cable bundles and are available in various materials, sizes, and colors.

LT & HT Applications

Heat shrink sleeving is suitable for both low-temperature (LT) and high-temperature (HT) applications. The sleeves can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making them ideal for use in various industries, including electrical, automotive, and telecommunications.

• 1.1KV/11KV/15KV/22KV/33KV Low Temperature (LT) Applications: Low temperature applications require heat shrink sleeves that can withstand temperatures as low as -65°C. Polyolefin sleeves are ideal for LT applications due to their excellent chemical resistance, high dielectric strength, and superior mechanical properties.
• 1.1KV/11KV/15KV/22KV/33KV High Temperature (HT) Applications: High temperature applications require heat shrink sleeves that can withstand temperatures as high as +125°C. Polyolefin sleeves are also suitable for HT applications due to their excellent thermal stability and resistance to high temperatures.
