THERMOFLUX (TMX) – SHRINKABLE INSULATION TUBE

UNIQUE, SHRINKABLE INSULATION FOR MULTIPURPOSE USE
  • Consists of two layers.
  • Outside layer shrinks. Inside layer of adhesive melts.
  • The adhesive seals the connection completely, making it strong and perfectly waterproof.
  • Excellent corrosion, U.V., water, chemical and acid resistance.
  • Can be applied directly to copper.
  • Durable.
  • Thermoflux moulds to any shape.
  • Fast, simple and safe to use.
  • Flame retardant and permanently flexible.
  • Easy to apply.

Features

Thermoflux is a flexible, heat shrinkable dual wall tubing with an integrally bonded meltable adhesive inner lining, designed to provide permanent moisture proof encapsulation to a wide variety of substrates and uses. Thermoflux has a unique inner wall which melts when heated and is forced into the crevices and interstices by the shrinking of the outer wall. When cooled the entire mass becomes a flexible, tough homogeneous covering with a controlled wall thickness. Thermoflux is manufactured from radiation cross-linked polyolefins. Thermoflux shrinks to 1/3 of its supplied diameter and thus only a few sizes (8) are required to cover a full range of irregular shapes in a wide variety of applications.

Why use Thermoflux?

  • insulation and protection of wires and components
  • wire terminal protection
  • reinforcement of wire splits
  • prevention of electrolytic corrosion
  • insulation and protection of automotive electrical parts
  • protection of coaxial cable connectors
  • synthetic, fuel and hydraulic oil resistant applications
  • can be used on all electrical applications (cables – cables splycing – connections), to insulate, to protect and to seal. Can be used in contact with chemicals. Is not resistant to earth alcalines. Protects metal tubing against corrosion and wear.
