1. Heat Shrinkable Insulation Tubing
As part of the termination, Heat Shrinkable Insulation Tubing is suitable for a variety of low voltage electrical and mechanical applications:
Insulating and sealing systems for power cables have to perform to a range of exacting requirements; to be uneffected by years of weathering and ultra-violet light, to stand up to continuous temperature changes, to keep out moisture and corrosive liquids for a generation, to be immune to oils and solvents, and to combine lasting insulating properties with low weight, toughness, impact strength and flexibility.
The need for modern standards of efficiency and simplicity of installation is a further significant consideration.
To meet these demands, CIAC developed heat shrinkable insulation tubing
now in widespread use in terminations, joints and cable repairs.
Heating with a commonly available gas torch activates the tubing's ”elastic memory” causing it to recover in diameter. The tubing's high shrink ratio enables it to shrink and tightly fit a wide range of cable sizes and accessories.
CIAC Heat Shrinkable Insulation Tubing is fast and easily installed, and has proven its long term reliability in harsh climatic conditions and polluted environments.


2. Breakout- Heat Shrinkable Breakouts seal and protect multi-conductor
cable and conduit breakouts:
low voltage breakouts are an easily installed, light weight insulation for sealing the crutches of plastic, paper and rubber insulated cables up to 1 kV. CIAC cable breakouts offer savings in weight, space and time over conventional methods and make overhead installation and cable transport easier.
Requiring no special tools or skills, installation is completed within minutes by simply heating the breakout. The diameter then reduces to tightly grip the outer jacket and the cores.
The heat shrinkable feature also means smaller inventories, as each breakout
size will shrink to fit several different sizes and types of cables. Made from
semi-rigid cross-linked polyolefin, these breakouts also offer resistance to abrasion, weathering, and atmospheric pollution.
