Gel-Filled Adhesive Heat-Shrink Sleeves

A gel-lined adhesive sleeve is a double-wall heat-shrink sleeve whose inner adhesive layer melts when hot, filling the gap between the sleeve and the cable as it shrinks. It is used on outdoor and moisture-exposed cable splices, on lug and connector necks, and in vehicle and boat installations to seal the connection against moisture and water. In this category, Woer's black models with a 3:1 shrink ratio in 1.22-meter lengths and rolls and the Isıso IDM-YPK series are available in sizes such as 9 mm, 19 mm, 33 mm and 70 mm. Choose the sleeve so that its inner diameter before shrinking passes over the thickest part of the splice and its shrunk inner diameter grips the cable sheath tightly, and according to wall thickness and the required length. In Woer product names, the first dimension is the inner diameter before shrinking and the second dimension, written with ø, is the inner diameter after shrinking. An adhesive-lined sleeve and a standard thin-wall heat-shrink sleeve are not the same product; the standard type insulates and marks but does not provide a watertight seal.
