Heat shrink tube with adhesive

Heat shrink tubing with adhesive is an adhesive-coated shrink tubing that has a layer of hot melt glue on the inside that essentially fulfills two functions. To create a moisture barrier and a better grip between cable and shrink tubing. Adhesive-coated heat shrink tubes are sometimes called Dual wall.

What is shrink tubing with adhesive?

Heat-shrink tubing is a special type of plastic tubing whose diameter shrinks when heated Heat shrink tubing with adhesive and heat shrink tubing without adhesive are used to insulate wires and at the same time protect them from abrasion. The application of heat is done with a heat gun. There is shrink tubing with or without glue, where the glue in addition to attaching to the cable sheath and conductor also seals extra. The shrink tubing is divided into shrinkage conditions, ie how much the diameter of the hose can shrink to a maximum when heat is applied. The most common ratios are between 2:1 to 6:1. The greater the shrinkage ratio of a shrink tubing, the larger the non-shaped application it can be shaped around. One effect of this is that in such a way that the wall thickness and diameter change when shrinking a shrink tube. Heat shrink tubing with glue can be found in KACAB’s ever-growing range.

Information about KACAB

KACAB was founded in 1993 and we have specialized in the sale of heat shrink tubing, heat shrink tubing with glue and therefore have solid knowledge and a large stock. We are today one of Sweden’s most complete companies in the industry. We therefore offer the market’s widest and best product range of shrink tubing, molded goods, protective tubing and cable ties.
Because we have a close collaboration with our suppliers, our product development is constantly adapted to the wishes of the industry. With the help of the latest technology from our suppliers in the planning and production stages (R&D), the time to adapt our products to a ready-to-assemble product is minimized. Contact us because we have a large stock of heat shrink tubing.

KACAB’s large inventory of primarily heat shrink tubing is available in a wide variety of materials developed to operate in temperatures between -75°C and +260°C at constant operating temperature. The tubings can be thin, medium or thick-walled and are delivered with or without adhesive inside. All standard shrink tubing is flame retardant or self-extinguishing.

They therefore have a shrinking capacity from 2:1 and up to 6:1 and can be delivered in a variety of colors and sizes (0.6 mm – 1500 mm). Our heat shrik tubing also range from economical, to high-tech, and are approved to UL224/CSA and specified to a variety of MIL standards. Product quality is thus our keyword. All our products meet or exceed all approvals / environmental requirements such as RoHS and REACH, and where applicable, UL, Mil, ASTM, VDE and Cenelec HD623 (for “LV joints kits”). Finally, contact KACAB, which has, among other things, a large stock of heat shrink tubing.
