M23053/4 Main Specs
The AS23053/4 mil-spec rating applies to adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing. This type of tubing has an inner thermoplastic adhesive layer for enhanced sealing, support, and long-term performance characteristics. M23053/4 heat shrink tubing features a polyolefin dual-wall, co-extruded, and cross-linked construction for fully integrated adhesion.
Depending on the desired shrink ratio and wall thickness, M23053/4 heat shrink provides the following ratings:
-
Operating temperature range: Minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit) to 130 degrees Celsius (266 degrees Fahrenheit)
-
Minimum tensile strength: 10.4 MPa
-
Voltage rating: 600V
-
Elongation at break: 300%
-
Heat shock: No cracking or dropping
-
Cold bend test: No cracking
-
UL VW-1 Flame test: Pass
These characteristics make M23053/4 ideal for outdoor environments, coastal applications, and industrial locations where corrosion and moisture are concerns.
Advantages of M23053/4 Adhesive-Lined Tubing
The dual-wall construction of adhesive-lined tubing offers performance advantages over single-wall products:
-
Corrosion resistance: Dual protective layers offer greater resistance against corrosive elements, including industrial oils, saltwater and brackish water, strong acids, solvents, and some fuels.
-
Strain relief: The skintight fit of adhesive-lined tubing supports wires under tension, enhancing strength for connections and splices.
-
Mechanical strength: A thicker protective layer offers greater resistance to abrasion, mechanical vibrations, external debris, and cut-through risks.
One of the main reasons to choose M23053/4 adhesive-lined tubing is to ensure a tight, waterproof seal for wires and other components. This is critical for many outdoor applications in the marine, municipal, and energy industries, such as hydroelectric power installations, wind generators, and transmission centers.
Applications and Industries
Common applications for M23053/4 heat shrink tubing include:
-
Field installations for telecom, energy, HVAC, etc.
-
Shipbuilding, off-shore, and marine environments
-
Large-scale commercial construction
-
Automotive and aerospace products
-
Transportation, mining, and heavy machinery industries
When applications require rugged protection against vibration, flexing, moisture, and abrasion, M23053/4 is ideal.
Types of M23053/4 Heat Shrink Tubing
M23053/4 flame-retardant heat shrink tubing is available in flexible and semi-rigid varieties. Flexible tubing is a good choice for nonstandard connections and applications where high moisture or submersion is a risk. Semi-rigid tubing offers greater mechanical strength and tension resistance.
Choose from a variety of dimensions, from 1/8 to 2 inches expanded and 0.039 to 0.748 inches recovered.
We also provide a host of value-added services:
-
Cut-to-length
-
Hot-stamp, thermal transfer, and barcode printing
-
Kitting
-
Custom packaging
-
Bundling and spooling
-
