Glue Lined Heatshrink -
TFADW is a Thin Walled Heatshrink Tube with a Glue Lined inner surface. It is made from a dual extrusion of polyolefin and adhesive. It is commonly referred to as 'dual walled .
Highly flexible
Very high shrink ratio 3:1
Flame retardant
Good mechanical adhesion
This is a heatshrink with many applications in the electrical and mechanical protection areas Since the glue holds the tubing in place it is commonly used for brake and fuel pipe protection in the automotive industry. Typical electrical applications are strain relief on cords, and insulation repair. In general this heatshrink is not recommended for waterproofing since the glue layer is primarily a mechanical adhesion and is thin.
Use Thermofix's TFMDW medium wall heatshrink for fail safe waterproof Joints

THERMOFIX Medium Wall Heatshrink
Thermofix Medium Wall is adhesive lined cross linked polyolefin Tube which is primarily used for waterproof jointing and sealing cable terminations. The hot melt liner creates a strong bond between the cable jacket and the tube. This keeps it water, weather and dirt resistant. It can be used on joints from 1 Kv to 36Kv. It has excellent impact and abrasion resistance. The product is a 3:1 shrink ratio and is only available in Black. It is UV Resistant.
Cost Effective and quick waterproof jointing

Installation recommendations are virtually the same as for TFMDW. When applying heat, check that carbonisation or crazing does not occur and do not apply heat directly onto the stainless steel channel. When shrinkage has been completed, the stippled effect on the tube surface will not be noticeable since Thermochroic paint has changed colour

Thermofix Heatshrink – Boots
Heatshrink Boots are used to seal and waterproof cable terminations, by sealing the insulated conductors to the cable jacket
They have a hot melt glue liner which melts while the boot is shrinking and creates a strong bond between the boot and the cable.
Quick and simple installation of waterproof termination
High resistance to tearing and high tensile strength
Resistant to decay, chemicals and corrosion
To select a boot, measure the outside diameter of the cable and order the next size up by checking dimension 'A' in the accompanying table. To install the boot, ensure that the insulation of the cable and conductor are clean and grease free, and roughen with emery paper for a good glue bond. Shrink the boot from the middle out with a heatgun or soft yellow gas flame until adhesive extrudes. Avoid local overheating during shrinkage process.

Quick reliable seal of cable ends
Watertight and unlimited storage life
Highly resistant to ultraviolet rays, aggressive soils, chemicals and corrosion
Capping of Hydraulic and Pneumatic tubes to prevent ingress of both dust and moisture
The TFEC Heatshrink cap should be shrunk onto the cable end starting the shrinkage from the closed end. Once shrink is complete glue should extrude from the edges of the cap.
