What is a cold shrink tube? I've only heard of it before, but never used it.

Cold shrinkable tube is a special cable accessory or electronic component, which is different from traditional heat shrinkable tube in shrinkage and material characteristics. The following is a detailed introduction about cold shrinkage tube:

What's the price of heat shrinkable tubes?

First, the definition of cold shrinkage tube

Cold shrinkable tube, also known as cold shrinkable tube, is a tubular cable accessory made of elastic materials (such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, etc.) injected and vulcanized in the factory, expanded and lined with plastic spiral brackets. At room temperature, it naturally shrinks by elastic retraction force, so it is tightly wound on cables or wires to play the role of insulation, protection and sealing.

Second, the characteristics of cold shrinkage tube

Shrinkage mode: the cold shrinkable tube naturally shrinks at room temperature without heating. This feature makes the installation process simpler and faster, and avoids cable or wire damage that may be caused by improper heating.

Material characteristics: Cold shrink sleeves are usually made of elastomer materials such as silicone rubber or ethylene propylene rubber. These materials have excellent electrical properties, mechanical strength and aging resistance, which can ensure the stability of cables or wires during long-term use.

Insulation protection: the cold shrink tube can completely wrap the wire or cable, and isolate the air and other substances between the outside and the wire, thus playing a good insulation role. At the same time, it can effectively prevent impurities such as moisture and dust from entering the cable or wire, and protect the safe and stable operation of the cable or wire.

Third, the comparison between cold-shrinkable tube and heat-shrinkable tube

Shrinkage method: the heat shrinkable tube needs heating to shrink, and the cold shrinkable tube can naturally shrink at room temperature. This makes the installation process of cold shrink sleeve simpler and faster.

Material characteristics: heat shrinkable tubes are generally made of polyurethane, polypropylene and other materials, while cold shrinkable tubes are made of elastomer materials such as silicone rubber or ethylene propylene rubber. These materials are different in electrical properties, mechanical strength and aging resistance, and are suitable for different application scenarios.

Application scenario: Cold shrink sleeves are usually used in places that require high insulation performance, mechanical strength and aging resistance, such as electric power, communication, rail transit and other fields. Heat shrinkable tubes are mostly used in some occasions that need high-speed diameter reduction, such as rapid maintenance and replacement of electronic equipment.
