HZD1611

RoHS-compliant 125 °C flame-retardant heat shrink tube compound

125 °CIrradiation cross-linked polyolefin UL / CSA UL224 UL758 / UL1581 (125 °C XLPE mechanical)
Light grey HZD1611 RoHS heat shrink tube compound pellets

Overview

HZD1611 is the RoHS-compliant version of our 125 °C irradiation cross-linked flame-retardant heat shrink tube master compound. Free of restricted substances, it keeps the mechanical performance required by UL758 and UL1581 for 125 °C XLPE while serving the same UL / CSA and UL224 tubing applications — cable joints, terminations, component insulation and conductor bundling.

Key features

  • RoHS-compliant, free of restricted substances
  • 125 °C irradiation cross-linked, flame-retardant
  • Meets UL758 / UL1581 mechanical requirements for 125 °C XLPE
  • Clean extrusion and consistent shrink performance
  • Colourable with strong cost-to-performance ratio

Typical applications

Cable joint and termination insulation Pipe and connector covering Insulation of electronic components Bundling of stranded conductors
