Polyolefin heat shrink tubes are finding increasing applications in the automotive industry as the quality standards getting tougher and the automobile manufacturers are competing to deliver the best reliable and performing vehicles. The presence of leading automobile manufacturers in the global marketplace also makes it a must to use the best technology to minimize the possibility of recall.

The Challenge: All the top automobile manufacturers usually face a common problem: The repeatedly occurring electrochemical reaction with metallic connections triggered by friction welding. The result is corrosion that often leads to operational system failures; even, sometimes an expensive recall. The Approach: Various innovative solutions were tested but the use of heat shrink cable accessories including heat shrink sleeves and heat shrink molded shapes to protect automobile cables and connections against several hazards including mechanical, chemical, and environmental emerged as the most effective and feasible solution.
