The repair sleeve enables a quick and secure repair of outer sheath damage (max. length 180 mm) for all plastic-insulated wires and cables. The sleeve is shaped around the damaged area and closed by sliding on the metal rail. When shrunk with a heat device, the thermoplastic adhesive oozes out from the side of the sleeve, ensuring a tight connection. Halogen-free, pressure-tight up to 1.5 bar, coated with thermoplastic adhesive, high tensile strength, resistant to cold flow, UV-resistant, non-corrosive, and exhibits very good chemical and electrical properties.
