Applications
A flexible, thick-wall,
heat-shrinkable tubing to
be used in conjunction with
-100 molded parts and
Zerohal cable to form
System 100. This material
exhibits excellent fire safety
characteristics combined
with low smoke emission
and low evolution of acid
gases while retaining good
mechanical and fluid-
resistance properties.
Used for insulation and
protection of cables,
harnesses, and electrical
and electronic components
in enclosed spaces, such
as in marine applications,
mass transit systems, and
offshore installations, to
reduce toxicity risks, or
where equipment would
be irreparably damaged
by corrosive products
of combustion.
