3M Heat Shrink Heavy Duty End Caps Data Sheet July 2013 Product Description Heat shrinkable end caps are typically used to seal cable ends and provide mechanical and environmental protection. When heated in excess of 121C (250F), SKE Heat Shrink Heavy Duty End Caps rapidly shrinks, forcing the melted adhesive lining to flow and cover the substrate. The adhesive forms a flexible bond with a wide variety of rubbers, plastics and metals. Upon cooling, the adhesive solidifies, forming a permanent, non-drying, flexible and water resistant barrier. Adhesive reflow will occur at temperatures above 80C (176F). Agency Approvals & RoHS 2011/65/EU Self Certifications RoHS 2011/65/E means that the product or part does not contain any of the substances in excess of the maximum concentration values (MCVs) in EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The MCVs are by weight in homogeneous materials. This information represents 3M s knowledge and belief, which may be based in whole or in part on information provided by third party suppliers to 3M. Applications The operating temperature range is from -55C (-67F) to 110C (230F), with a shrinking temperature minimum of 121C (250F).
