BS EN 60684-3-246 is a British standard that requirements for dual wall, non-flame retarded, heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving. This sleeving has been found suitable for use up to 110 °C. The sleeving consists of an outer layer made of a semi-rigid cross-linked material.
BS EN 60684-3-246 guidelines provide general requirements, methods of test, and specifications for individual types of sleeving. The inner layer is a substantially non-cross-linked polyolefin that flows and fuses during the shrinkage process to provide a seal.
BS EN 60684-3-246 on heat-shrinkable polyolefin sleeving, dual wall, not flame retarded is useful for:
Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support, separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves and reduce the heating.
BS EN 60684-3-246 provides guidelines to manufacturers on how to select material for a specific application based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application.
When these flexible insulating sleeving are handled according to the standards provided in BS EN 60684-3-246, it ensures smooth workflow and safety an protection.
