Heat Shrink Coupler is a Tubing used for jointing the posttensioning ducts to ensure leak tightness of connections between two consecutive portion of duct.
These tubes are manufactured from high quality Cross-linked Polyolefin material. Hot melt adhesive lining provides 100% sealing according to IP 68 (Ingress Protection). Heat Shrink Couplers ensure a tight seal around the pre-stressing duct connections.
