HEAT SHRINK TUBING FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS TE AUTOMOTIVE /// WHITE PAPER 12 Identification / Beautification Application Challenge facing Products: Application Tooling manufacturers Features + Benefits LSTT • Rapid recovery at low temperatures • Can be used with temperature sensitive materials • Excellent physical and electrical performance • Flexible Gas Pipes Vehicle manufacturers need to improve on the enviro- mental impact of materials. Replacing paint with heat shrink tubing is an effective way of reducing the use of solvents and chemicals. CGPT • Very good chemical and solvent resistance • Wide range of colours • Flexible • Excellent physical and electrical performance Model 105 • Closed-loop speed and tempera- ture control • Continuous controlled process • Adaptable for different applications • CE approved • Heater operation and over- temperature alarm lights +125° C -40° C 2:1 +110° C +135° C -40° C 2:1 and 3:1 +120° C RBK-RTP • Mechanical protection against flexing, abrasion and cut-through • Environmetal protection • Low profile Ring Terminals Identification of voltage, ground and signal wires is increasingly required within automotive har- nesses to prevent incorrect connections during the lifetime of the vehicle. More electrical aparatus results in an increased need to distinguish individual circuitry. IR-1891 Shuttle Machine • Automatic cycle start once heater is manually positioned over product, which gives improved process control (recommended for adhesive lined heat shrinkable tubing e.g. sealing applications) • Automatic heating head retraction at end of cycle prevents damage to components • Multiple product fixture assem- blies give increased process rates • Cooling fan above each fixture assembly maintains holding fixture at an acceptable temperature • Compliant with latest CE and RoHs requirements CGPT • Very good chemical and solvent resistance • Wide range of colours • Flexible • Excellent physical and electrical performance +125° C -55° C +135° C +135° C -40° C 2:1 and 3:1 +120° C
