FACOT thermoshrinking bands are corrosion proofing, dielectric and with a high mechanic protection. They are made of 2 plastic layers : the outer part is made of a particular crossed fabric of high density polyethylene (HDPE) predrawn during its working, while the inner part, the wrinkled side, is coated with a special adhesive layer to highly adhere both on metals and plastics. Thanks to heat, the outer side shrinks in a longitudinal way tightening the surface to be sealed. At the same time, the adhesive softens levelling any possible unevenness on the parts to be joint together.
Clean the ends to be joint with a cloth to remove dirt and humidity. Put the part to be bonded on flames and then dry it. Wind up the FACOT band tight on the joint overlapping the ends so that the width is proportional to the diameter (about 10%) of the width. Fix the external edge using the adhesive band. Warm the band up by means of a hot air sprayer or simply by a gas patent blowpipe, until an adhesive filament comes out of the two edges and the band looks like humid. Suitable for couplings, Te joints, curves, uneven surfaces, ventilation and conditioning ducts.
