COBERTURA DE RESINA SINTETICA TERMICAMENTE CONTRATIL

摘要

This invention relates to a heat shrinkable synthetic resin cover (10) adapted to cover a joint between two pipes or an electric cable, the cover comprises a heat shrinkable synthetic resin member (12) in which is embedded a flexible electric heating element (13) made of a conductor coated with a crosslinked polymer having heat shrinkability in substantially one direction such that the electric heating member does not peclude heat shrinkage of the heat shrinkable synthetic resin member in said direction. In use the cover can be heated uniformly from within, thereby promoting substantially uniform shrinkage thereof.
