RMW Medium wall, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing Medium wall, general purpose RMW crosslinked polyolefin which is resistant RMW tubing shrinks quickly and tubing is specifically designed for use in to impact and abrasion. conforms tightly to the substrate. While a broad range of low-voltage appli- adhesive-lined RMW tubing is shrinking, Adhesive-lined RMW provides a cations. RMW is tough and flexible, the internal adhesive coating melts and complete moisture-proof seal, making it particularly suitable for the flows to environmentally seal the splice, preventing corrosion of underlying insulation and protection of cable joints cable jacket or termination on which it is components. It is resistant to chemicals in low voltage electrical systems as well being installed. and moisture. The thermoplastic as for cable repair.
