Product Data
Sheet |
|
Characteristics |
This data sheet
covers the requirements for heat shrink end caps whose
dimension will shrink to a predetermined size up on the
application of heat above 125 deg. C. Color of the end
caps is black. The end caps are pre-coated on the
machine in film form or spiral form, with a hot melt
adhesive of translucent, yellowish color. |
|
Typical
Applications |
End caps are used
for protecting the unused cable end from the
environmental effects. They also offer insulation on the
unused end of electrical cable connected to supply.
IKEBANA end caps with film form coating are suitable for
pressurized and with spiral form coating for
unpressurized telecommunications cables and full range
of electrical cables of PVC, XLPE, PILC or rubber type
jackets. The application table gives the end cap
dimensions and cable diameter range of usage for each
model. For pressurized telecom cables, the end caps are
fitted with a non return air valve. |

Materials |
The base material of
the end caps is thermally stabilized, cross linked
polyolefin. The end cap is coated inside with a
polyamide based hot melt adhesive. The raw material is
compounded with a package of chemical additives offering
protection against oxidation, ozone , UV radiation etc. |
|
Ordering for
End Caps Manufactured from Special Materials |
End caps can be
supplied against specific orders manufactured from
semi-conducting or non-tracking high voltage (Red)
materials. Non-tracking HV end caps are coated with
butyl rubber based mastic, which is water-proof,
insulating and non-tracking. Semi-con end caps are
coated with semi-conductive mastic or poly-amide based
hot melt adhesive or suitable combination of both. |
|
|
Printing on
the Product |
Each Ikebana end cap
is printed with a heat resistant printing ink of white
color. Printed information includes:
1. Ikebana logo
2. Product code
3. Applicable cable diameter usage range. |
|
Packaging |
For export, the end
caps are packed telescopically, in a convenient way
inside a polythene bag, in order to reduce consignment
volume. End caps of models IXL 100S to IXL 140 are
packed end to end in a tubular polythene bag sealed on
both ends. Larger end caps sizes IXL 150, IXL 160 and
IXL 170 are packed in individual polythene bags with
both ends sealed. Outer packing is a standardized
Ikebana corrugated carton with strapping and a label
with information of customer and contents. It also has
QA approval seal. |
