Our Heat Shrinkable Compounds are specially engineered polymer blends designed to deliver consistent shrinkage and outstanding protection when exposed to heat. Widely used across electrical, automotive, aerospace, and telecom sectors, these compounds ensure insulation, sealing, and mechanical reinforcement in the most demanding environments.
Key Benefits
Consistent Shrink Performance Uniform shrinkage that fits tightly over wires, joints, and terminals.
High Electrical Insulation Safeguards components against electrical failures and short circuits.
Environmental Resistance Protects against moisture, UV rays, chemicals, and mechanical abrasion.
Thermal Stability Performs reliably in extreme temperatures.
Optional Adhesive Lining Dual-wall options available for watertight seals and enhanced bonding.
Applications
Insulation for wires, cables, and terminals
Sealing and protection of splices and connectors
Automotive and aerospace harnessing
Fiber optic cable protection
Corrosion protection in outdoor installations
Material Options
Polyolefin (most widely used)
Crosslinked EVA
Fluoropolymers (PVDF, PTFE)
Elastomers and modified polyamides
Flame-retardant and halogen-free variants available
How It Works
Extrusion – Compound is shaped into tubing or sleeves
Crosslinking – Enhances memory and heat responsiveness
Expansion – The tubing is expanded while hot
Cooling – Locks the expanded shape until applied
Upon heating during application, the material shrinks to conform tightly to the underlying surface—sealing and protecting it.
