Shelf life and service life of cold shrinkable cable accessories

2023-03-10
Because the cold shrinkable cable accessories are mainly made of silicone rubber vulcanized expansion, is a kind of polymer material, it can not avoid the problem of polymer material aging, aging factors are many, temperature cycle, ultraviolet, external substances and so on, this is the irresistible process of polymer materials. So from the beginning of raw material production, materials begin to enter the aging cycle. Especially after the expansion of cold shrinkable cable, aging will greatly increase the shrinkage permanent deformation rate of cold shrinkable tube.

Cold shrinkable cable accessories itself shrinkage range is limited, if the permanent deformation is too large, more than the design margin, it may occur shrinkage is not in place installation quality problems. Leading to shrinkage accessories is a product that will not have a long shelf life. Generally speaking, the shrinkage cable accessories will have obvious permanent deformation after half a year of expansion.

In addition, if the storage is not proper, such as long-term in the temperature change larger and faster place, long-term close to the heat source, long-term high temperature exposure and so on, will greatly affect the warranty period of cold shrinkable cable accessories. And when the weather is cold, such as the cold area of Russia, because the temperature is too low, the low temperature brittleness of silicone rubber will be obvious, will also greatly affect the shrinkage performance of the cold shrinkage cable head, even unavailable, after installation may also occur brittle crack. This is also the reason why the use of Cold shrinkable cable accessories can not be widely promoted in such cold regions as Russia.
