Heat Shrink Tubing - Applications - Tube Joining - Materials Used

Heat Shrink Tubing
Advanced Polymers' thin-walled polyester heat shrink tube is used to form a joint between the two tubes. Also protects the tubes from the heat source.

Green Tube
Tubes to be joined together. For example: high and low durometer thermoplastics; Pebax®, Polyurethane, PE, etc.

Mandrel
The mandrel is used to maintain the inside diameter of the tubes to be fused. Also helps to form a smooth joint. We recommend the use of a PTFE (Teflon®) beading or a Teflon coated metal mandrel.

Orange Tube
Tubes to be joined together. For example: high and low durometer thermoplastics; Pebax®, Polyurethane, PE, etc.
