3M™Medium-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing IMCSN

Product Description

3M™ Medium-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing IMCSN is designed to provide reliable

performance for electrical splices, connections, and terminations, as well as mechanical

and environmental protection. 3M IMCSN tubing is fabricated from cross-linked

polyolefin. The tubing is highly split resistant, and fast-shrinking to provide rapid

installation. The tubing comes standard with a factory-applied adhesive/sealant.
