HEAT SHRINK TUBING FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS TE AUTOMOTIVE /// WHITE PAPER 6 RPT-120 • Provides a tough resilient layer to protect the component beneath • Good surface finish giving a professional look to the final product • Easy to install with conventional heating equipment • Low shrint temperature for fast installation Air Conditioning Automotive aluminimum air-conditioning lines must be thermally insulated to ensure maximum efficiency of the vehicle's air-con- ditioning system. These lines must also be protected from metal-to-metal contact with the vehicle's frame and other components to prevent noise and vibration from being transmitted into the vehicle interior. Corrosion can also be a problem particularly where lines are subject to road spray, and at the points where lines are clipped to the vehicle frame or other components. +120° C -40° C 2:1 +115° C Protection: Chemical / Mechanical Abrasion Application Challenge facing manufacturers Products: Features + Benefits Application Tooling +110° C -55° C 3:1 and 4:1 +110° C Model 105 • Closed-loop speed and temperature control • Continuous controlled process • Adaptable for different applications • CE approved • Heater operation and over- temperature alarm lights AP-2000 See page 6 ATUM • ATUM tubing provides excellent noise dampening performance • Reduced production times as tubes can be bent or formed on the pipe • Moisture proof sealing - adhesive melts and flows to provide permanent bond • High strength bonding to substrates Diesel Injection Clusters Manufacturers are constantly searching for new ways to reduce engine noise, particularly in diesel vehicles where higher mechanical noise levels are perceived as a major disad- vantage compared to petrol engines. Research has shown that high pressure diesel fuel injection clusters, which take fuel from the fuel pump to the injector can emit a significant "rushing" noise as fuel is transferred along the pipes. *(black and colours only)
