The Ancor Heavy Wall Heat Shrink Tubing is a high-quality solution for insulating and protecting wires and connectors in a variety of applications. This package contains a trio of black tubing segments, each designed with dimensions suitable for a range of cable diameters.
This robust tubing is crafted from a durable cross-linked polyolefin material, which is a superior alternative to traditional PVC tubing due to its higher resistance to heat and potential flame retardancy. Notably, the tubing is enhanced with a special heat-activated adhesive lining, ensuring that it forms a weatherproof seal that can withstand harsh environmental conditions including exposure to salt water, oil, acids, and direct sunlight. This feature is especially beneficial for maritime, automotive, or outdoor installations where elements could compromise cable integrity. Moreover, the tubing also offers outstanding strain relief protection which helps preserve the connection points from mechanical stress.
The tubing boasts a significant 3:1 shrink ratio, allowing for a snug and secure fit over irregular shapes or bulky connectors. It requires a comparatively moderate heat source of 257°F / 125°C to activate the shrinking process. The operating temperature range for the Ancor tubing is expansive, spanning from -40°C to 110°C, which testifies to its resilience under extreme temperatures. Additionally, it adheres to stringent industry standards, holding UL 224 certification for safety and reliability.
As a precaution, it's advised to be aware that this product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical that falls under California's Proposition 65 warning list due to potential health concerns it may pose. It's recommended that users exercise caution and inform themselves about the hazards by visiting the provided P65Warnings website.
Beyond its technical specifications, the Ancor Heavy Wall Heat Shrink Tubing is suitable for use in numerous settings, including but not limited to electrical repairs, automotive wiring, marine electronics, and in environments where cables are exposed to potentially damaging substances.
