19052 Used for IR Test on Adhesive Heat-Shrink

Many companies that splice wire and cable need to verify the integrity of the spliced areas of wiring. Adhesive heat shrink is used for insulating the spliced sections of wire. Adhesive heat shrink is an elastomeric compound applied to the outer surface of the cable, heated and shrunk to tightly fit the joint or splice. The compound’s rubber-like properties enable the joint to follow the thermally induced dimensional changes/contours of the cable insulation. Adhesive heat-shrink is not a cable jacket, sheath or armor; it is a post-production fix for insulating a wire splice or tear.■
