•Adhesion Epoxy-Metal: 20-30MPa (ISO = 10 MPa)
•Adhesion PU-Metal:10-15 MPa (ISO = 10MPa)
•Adhesion PU / Epoxy - PE

•Not compliant with ISO 21809-3

•Adhesion of Heat Shrinkable Sleeves on Steel is the same as Adhesion on PE

Heat-Shrink

Sleeves

- PE 3 layers
- PP 3 layers
- FBE
- PU

Liquids (Epoxy/PU)

- FBE

- PU 

Heat-shrink Sleeves

•Surface Preparation
•Pre-heating
•Mixing and application of Epoxy
•Sleeve Application
•Shrinking (Torch)
•Dielectric Testing (identical voltage)

(Irrelevant of the ambient conditions)

Liquids

•Applicator Protection (Spray)
•Prepare equipment (Spray)
•Surface preparation
•Pre-heating (especially PE)
•Appropriate mixing
•Roll or Spray
•Check and build up thickness (3 x 500 microns)
•Polymerization & Protection
•Dielectric Test (different voltages)

(Ambient Conditions RH < 80% to avoid Blistering)

Pinholes are a consequence of entrapped air and moisture
