SEALING GROUND WIRES USING HEAT SHRINKABLE SLEEVES

摘要

A method of forming a seal between a heat shrinkable sleeve and an elongate substrate wherein at least a portion of the elongate substrate is provided with a sealing material and a discontinuous spacer adjacent thereto, and heat is applied to the sleeve to cause shrinkage of the sleeve and flow of the sealing material into interstitial spaces in the discontinuous spacer and to form the desired seal.
