Heat shrinkable tape width from 25 to 150mm

To achieve perfect grip and joint WaterproofPlease follow these steps :

• clean, degrease or even scratch the surface of the support to be covered by abrasive means,
• coil the tape in a helical manner, by tightening it firmly around the material to be treated and covering at least one third the width of the previous tower,
• The beginning end must be stuck under the first round, and the end should be folded under the previous turn as shown in the video,
• For optimal guidance of the tape, you can heat it slightly, so that the resin softens and pre-pastes on the previous turn.
• If the lens is to mount strongly in thickness, you can wrap the ribbon back towards the beginning and overlap the beginning end with the end end. Then the end end is folded and stuck under the first ribbon winding.
• Implementation of this ribbon heat shrinkable is done with a hot air gun or generator, or an oven, for retraction from 130°C, to form a continuous, insulating and Waterproof on the object it covers. At a fixed position, you have to make a circular heater and a complete turn, so that the whole resined surface softens and comes sticking on support. Otherwise, unheated or underheated areas will not beWaterproofs.

Below is a short sampling of examples of the application of the tape heat shrinkable for use in areas where Heat-retractable ducts can no longer be used :

• This product is suitable for repairing carbon fishing rods or other composite tubes.
• Reconstruction of insulation on junction or bypass of insulated cables,
• Bypass on wiring beams,
• Problems with the sealing of cables, tubes or other objects,
• In case of metal contact on metal to remove, with risk of damage, you can apply the tape heat shrinkable, so that the contact is metal on plastic. For example, a car tailgate that opens and risks hitting the metal of a bike holder,
• For a rusty tube of a portillon, rather than replacing the portillon, the tube is reinforced and completely re-isolated with moisture with tape heat shrinkable.
• Making the seal of a chimney solin,

At an industrial site, the power cable of a large section of a harbour crane suffered a tearing of its tubing outside on about 30 cm, without the possibility to release enough free length to thread a heat shrinkable tubing. A technician then surrounded the damaged area several times with tape heat shrinkable self-adhesive (width of about 50 mm) over a length of 50 cm, pressing each tower in a helical way to match the shape of the cable. After hot air heating, the tape retracted by compressing the damaged area, filling the vacuum around the defect and ensuring perfect contact Waterproof (vacuum setting effect). Result : a tubing compact insulation, Waterproof and resistant to abrasion and vibration, which restores the mechanical integrity of the cable and protects the installation against moisture.

The main characteristics of the ribbon heat shrinkable :

• The inner resin to the tape sticks to the holder, creating a resistant seal, and protects against moisture and dust,
• Made from polyolethin crosslinked for a long life.
• Also suitable for various domestic, commercial and industrial uses, and application within the reach of any technician or even tinkerer,
• Available in a variety of sizes.
• The ribbon is ideal for electrical insulation of cables and power lines.
• The ribbon is highly resistant to UV rays, friction and atmospheric or chemical agents.
• When the tape tightens under heat, it retracts in width of the order of 5%,

The ribbon heat shrinkable perfectly completes the range of heat-retractable ducts. Where a heat shrinkable tubing cannot be put in place, a tape heat shrinkable should be able to adapt. Thus, you find all the advantages specific to heat-retractable ducts such as insulation, strength, UV resistance, sealing.

As you just discovered, the ribbon heat shrinkable is versatile, and will overcome many of your technical problems. If you need advice, feel free to contact ACLP by email, chat or phone.
