<p>The invention relates to a multi-layer foam heat-shrinkable tube comprising a hot-melt adhesive layer as the innermost layer, at least one non-foam layer and at least one foam layer provided on an outside surface of the hot-melt adhesive layer. The invention also relates to a method for producing a multi-layer foam heat-shrinkable tube comprising extruding a hot-melt adhesive layer as the inner most layer, at least one non-foam layer, and at least one foam layer to form a multi-layer foam tube, heating and expanding the inner diameter of the multi-layer foam tube, and cooling the expanded multi-layer tube while an inner diameter of the tube at the expanded state is maintained. The non-foam layers and foam layers can be provided in any number and any order. The multi-layered foam heat-shrinkable tube easily adheres to and covers the surface of an article such as a metal pipe, a metal rod, or the like, and provides good heat and electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, water - resistance, and so on, to thereby protect the article. The tensile strength of the multi-layer foam heat-shrinkable tube is not lessened even if the foaming ratio of a foam layer is made high. <IMAGE></p> |
