RMW Heat Shrink Tubing : Medium wall, general purpose polyolefin.
Medium wall, general purpose RMW tubing is specifically designed for use in a broad range of low-voltage applications. RMW is tough and flexible, making it particularly suitable for the insulation and protection of cable joints in low voltage electrical systems as well as for cable repair.
Overview
The RMW heat shrink is made from tough, abrasion-resistant, crosslinked polyolefin which is resistant to impact and abrasion. RMW withstands harsh mechanical environments for increased product reliability.
Adhesive-lined RMW provides a complete moisture-proof seal, preventing corrosion of underlying components. It is resistant to chemicals and moisture. The thermoplastic adhesive in RMW will adhere to most common polymeric- and elastomeric insulated cables as well as to metals such as lead and aluminum.
Installation is fast and easy and requires no special skills. When heated, RMW tubing shrinks quickly and conforms tightly to the substrate. While the adhesive-lined RMW tubing is shrinking, the internal adhesive coating melts and flows to environmentally seal the splice, cable jacket or termination on which it is being installed.
RMW is the ideal choice for applications where maximum reliability, product performance, and simplified installation are required. Because RMW is heat shrinkable, a minimum number of sizes are needed to cover a wide range of diameters.
