The 1kV Silicone Cold Shrink Tubing stands as a revolutionary insulation solution for low-voltage electrical connections, eliminating the need for heat sources during installation while delivering superior environmental protection.
Crafted from high-grade silicone rubber with exceptional elasticity, this tubing expands during manufacturing to accommodate easy positioning before shrinking to a tight, conformal fit around cables and connections. Compliant with international standards for low-voltage applications, it provides reliable insulation for electrical joints in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its unique cold shrink technology makes it ideal for hazardous locations where open flames are prohibited, supporting conductor diameters from 7.6 mm to 24.1 mm after shrinkage while maintaining consistent performance in extreme temperature fluctuations.
Manufactured from high-purity silicone rubber with a Shore A hardness of 60±5, the tubing offers excellent electrical insulation properties (volume resistivity ≥10¹⁴ Ω·cm) and superior resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and chemical exposure. This formulation ensures the tubing remains flexible even at extreme low temperatures, preventing cracking or brittleness that could compromise insulation integrity.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing expands during production to allow easy installation over connectors and splices without requiring heat guns or torches. After positioning, it naturally contracts to form a permanent, void-free seal around the connection, eliminating air gaps that can lead to moisture ingress or corona discharge in high-humidity environments.
Engineered to operate across an exceptional temperature range of -55°C to 260°C, the tubing maintains its insulating properties in both Arctic and industrial high-heat applications. This wide operating window makes it suitable for diverse climates and industrial environments where temperature extremes are common.
In underground distribution systems, the tubing insulates and protects splices in medium-voltage cables, preventing moisture ingress that can cause insulation breakdown and service interruptions. Its cold application method eliminates fire risks in confined underground spaces.
Solar farms and wind energy facilities utilize the tubing for insulating connections in array cabling and inverter hookups, where it withstands UV exposure and temperature cycling between day and night operations. Its chemical resistance makes it suitable for coastal installations with salt spray exposure.
In manufacturing plants and processing facilities, the tubing protects electrical connections on motors, drives, and control panels from oil, coolant, and chemical exposure. Its flame-retardant properties (UL 94 V-0 rating) enhance safety in industrial environments with potential fire hazards.
The tubing provides essential insulation for electrical connections in hazardous areas classified as Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust), where its cold application method eliminates ignition risks associated with heat-based installation tools.
The tubing supports post-shrink inner diameters ranging from 7.6 mm to 24.1 mm, making it suitable for most 1kV power cables and control wiring commonly used in industrial and utility applications. Always verify the nominal conductor diameter against the tubing's post-shrink dimensions for proper fit.
Silicone offers superior temperature resistance (-55°C to 260°C) compared to EPDM or PVC alternatives, maintaining flexibility and insulation properties across a wider range of operating conditions. It also provides better resistance to UV radiation and ozone, extending service life in outdoor applications.
When installed correctly in rated applications, the tubing provides a service life of 20+ years. The high-grade silicone formulation resists aging and degradation, maintaining its insulating properties through 10,000+ thermal cycles without performance degradation.
