Glenair has started manufacturing of some Environmental Shrink Boots, the new Glenair’s Series 77 called "FULL NELSON"
New series 77 Full Nelson Environmental Shrink Boots. Properly applied, these adhesive-lined shrink boots provide a dependable, leak-proof seal for interconnect cable assemblies. So if you’re worried about sealing effectiveness, if you want long-lasting environmental protection, if you want an ingress prevention solution that won’t lose it’s grip after years and years of service, get a Series 77 Full Nelson— the environmental shrink boot.
Shrink boots provide mechanical and environmental protection to connectorto-cable transitions. Specially formulated polymers are injection-molded, then heated and expanded. The shape-memory property of the material allows it to return to its original shape when heated with a hot air gun. Optional adhesive coatings on the inside of the boot provide a watertight, high-strength bond to the cable jacket and the connector or adapter.
Shrink boots are available in three materials: Type 1 high performance elastomer provides improved resistance to heat, oils and fuels. Type 2 zero halogen material is intended for applications where low toxicity is a must. Type 3 general purpose flexible polyolefin is a good choice for occasional exposure to heat and chemicals.
