TAT-125
Flexible, adhesive-lined, polyolefin
heat-shrinkable tubing
TAT-125 is an adhesive-lined, flexible,
thin-wall, heat-shrinkable tubing.
It provides one-step electrical
insulation and moisture sealing for
a wide variety of applications.
must withstand flexing or other
physical abuse. Because both tubing
and adhesive are flexible, the
moisture seal is resistant to bending
of the substrate.
TAT-125 is especially suitable for
applications where the moisture seal
The thin adhesive lining of TAT-125
melts and flows with the heat of
application to form a positive
environmental seal. The adhesive
will adhere to a wide variety of
plastics, rubbers, and metals,
including PVC, polyethylene,
neoprene, lead, and steel.
