3M HDCW heat-shrink repair sleeve 35/10mm.

The 3M HDCW 35/10mm heat-shrink repair sleeve is a high-performance wraparound solution designed to repair or reinforce damaged cable jackets. Engineered for durability and ease of use, this product is part of 3M’s HDCW (Heavy-Duty Cable Wrap) series, widely used in electrical maintenance and utility sectors. With an expanded diameter of 35mm and a recovered diameter of 10mm, it accommodates a wide range of cable sizes and is particularly suitable for low-, medium-, and high-voltage cable applications, including installations rated up to 35 kV.

This sleeve is constructed from cross-linked polyolefin material, which delivers excellent mechanical strength and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and UV radiation. The inner surface is coated with a hot-melt adhesive that melts during installation, bonding securely to the cable surface to create a water-resistant, environmental seal. This dual-layer design ensures long-lasting protection against moisture ingress, corrosion, and physical wear.

The wraparound format enables installation without disconnecting cable terminations, making it ideal for field repairs in confined or complex environments. A corrosion-resistant metal channel is provided to close the sleeve prior to heating, ensuring even compression and alignment. Heat is applied with a torch or industrial heat gun until the sleeve conforms tightly to the cable and the adhesive flows uniformly.

The HDCW 35/10mm sleeve meets ANSI C119.1 and is RoHS compliant, signifying compliance with industry safety and environmental standards. Its performance range spans from sub-zero to elevated temperatures, ensuring reliability across a wide variety of climates and conditions. Common applications include restoring damaged outer jackets, sealing joints or splices, and reinforcing aged insulation.

In summary, the 3M HDCW 35/10mm sleeve offers a versatile, rugged, and efficient solution for cable jacket restoration and protection, trusted by professionals for dependable in-field performance.The 3M HDCW sleeve withstands harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to oils, chemicals, and UV rays, ensuring durable cable protection.
