Heat-shrink Tubing FITCOTUBE®

Shrink Tubing with Adhesive Lining: Reliable Insulation and Protection

Shrink tubing with adhesive lining is indispensable in numerous industrial and technical applications. It provides mechanical protection and ensures watertight insulation of cables and wires. GREMCO GmbH, a leading manufacturer in this field, offers high-quality solutions for diverse applications through its FITCOTUBE® product line.

What is Shrink Tubing with Adhesive Lining?

Shrink tubing is made of thermoplastic materials, such as polyolefin, that shrink when exposed to heat. The special variant with adhesive lining features an inner adhesive layer. When heated, the adhesive melts and bonds permanently with the covered surface. The result is a secure, watertight, and mechanically durable connection that effectively protects cables and wires.

Key Technical Advantages

• Watertight Insulation: The combination of shrinkable material and adhesive lining creates a reliable seal that protects against moisture and other environmental influences. This is particularly important in the automotive industry and outdoor installations.
• Mechanical Protection: Shrink tubing with adhesives protects cables and connections from abrasion, tensile stress, and mechanical damage, thereby extending the lifespan of the covered components.
• Compliance with Standards: Many of GREMCO GmbH’s shrink tubing products meet international standards such as UL-224, MIL-Standard 23053, or other industry-specific certifications, ensuring quality and reliability in safety-critical applications.
• Temperature Resistance: Shrink tubing from the FITCOTUBE® series is suitable for use in a wide temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for extreme conditions.

Applications for shrink tubing with adhesive lining

Shrink tubing with adhesive lining has a wide range of applications:

• Automotive Industry: Protecting wire harnesses and electrical connections from moisture and vibrations.
• Electrical Engineering: Securing solder joints and connectors for optimal electrical insulation.
• Outdoor Installations: Sealing and protecting cable connections in damp or extreme environments.
