Steps for Using Heat Shrink Boot

2025 10/18

1. Product Selection and Inspection

  • Select the model and specification of Heat Shrink Boots according to requirements.
  • Inspect the appearance: the surface must be smooth and free of defects, the ports should have no gaps, and the size must meet the requirements.

2. Pre-treatment

  • Confirm the construction location, and polish and clean the location.
  • If using Heat Shrink Boot without pre-applied adhesive, wrap 2-3 layers of hot-melt tape around the construction location.

3. Heating and Shrinking

  • Slide the Heat Shrink Boots onto the construction location.
  • Use a heat gun to start heating from the large port to fix the boots, then move the heat gun in a 360° spiral direction towards the small port for heating.
  • Continue heating until the small port is fully shrunk, and the inner hot-melt adhesive melts and overflows.

4. Cooling

  • Allow the cable to cool down to room temperature naturally before moving it.
  • If quick movement is required, use a damp cloth to assist in cooling until it reaches room temperature.

5. Quality Inspection

  • Both ends of the Heat Shrinkable Boot must be tightly wrapped around the application area, with hot-melt adhesive overflowing from the ends.
  • There should be no gaps, bubbles, cracks or aging phenomena.
