1. What is Cold
Shrink Technology
and What is it
Used for?

2. What is Cold Shrink Technology and What is it Used for?
Cold shrink has emerged as a convenient technique for
making connections between a cable and another cable, the
terminal of an equipment or the terminal of an electrical
junction. Electrical installers often utilize this technology to
provide a tightly fitted, protective seal around stranded and
solid wire conductors as it is safe and easy to use.

3. Traditionally, cable jointing was done with heat shrink
technology which involved applying heat to artificially
expanded plastic tubes. Upon the application of heat, these
plastic tubes shrunk to provide electrical insulation or
jointing cables. However, heat shrink technology could not
be utilized safely in all kinds of environments. For example,
it was quite risky to use heat-producing tools in areas with
flammable gasses, such as gas pipeline projects. Cold
shrinking was developing as a safer alternative for
terminating & jointing in areas with such issues.

4. In cold shrink technology, accessories such as joint body,
terminal body and tubes are made with materials such as
rubbers and silicones that offer a high level of elasticity at
ambient temperatures and are excellent at connecting and
sealing power cables. The cold shrink tubes have a
removable inner support system, which, when pulled out,
causes the tube to shrink to its pre-stretched size. The tube
wraps the cable perfectly and constantly exerts radial
pressure for the lifetime of the joint or termination.

5. For correct utilization of cold shrink tubes, technician must
only remove the inner core during the installation stage and
not before. The cold shrink tubes must remain in their
expanded state before they are actually being used for
installation.

6. Cold shrink technology is optimized for field use and can
withstand environmental conditions such as UV, pollution
and chemicals, and salt fog. It can be utilized easily in
onshore, offshore, indoor and outdoor environments.
Furthermore, it is more suitable than heat shrink technology
in places with space constraints where electrical tools and
equipment cannot be used easily. Owing to these excellent
practical features, cold shrink technology is experiencing
widespread adoption in the electrical industry.
