Dual-wall tubings, with their adhesive linings, offer an economical and highly effective method for permanently sealing and protecting splices, fusible links, terminals and inline components.
As the tubing is heated and shrinks down onto its host, the adhesive lining melts and flows to fill all voids and create a complete seal against moisture, oils, chemicals etc.
The dual-wall FL2500 comprises a tough crosslinked flame-retardant polyolefin tubing lined with the new flame-retardant adhesive lining to provide the optimum solution for applications where LFH products are preferred or specified.
Rated to 135C for 3000h it is suitable for use in the automotive harness market and harsh environments.
FL2500 is available in a comprehensive range of sizes, to meet most component sealing requirements, and is compatible with a wide range of application equipment. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics - Wire, Harness and Protection ...
