Corrosion Protection Tube

All dimensions are in mmDrawing depicts typical dimensionsE – as suppliedS – after free recoveryD – internal diameter without adhesive coatingL – Length as per requirement

Heat Shrinkable Corrosion Protection Tubes provide environmental sealing to the cable straight through joints for Plastic and Paper insulated cables up to 36kV. The Tubes are made from thermally stable cross linked polyolefin based and weather resistant polymeric material.

The Tubes are internally coated with Hot Melt Adhesive.
