SHRINK TUBING JT-125

MIL-I-23053/4

DESCRIPTION:
DESCRIPTION: JAGUAR JT-125 TUBING IS AN ELECTRICAL GRADE FLEXIBLE POLYOLEFIN OVER A THIN LAYER OF THERMOPLASTIC ADHESIVE. IT IS RATED FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION AT -55°C TO 110°C. WHEN HEATED ABOVE 121°C, THE ADHESIVE MELTS AND IS FORCED INTO CONTACT WITH THE COVERED PRODUCT AS THE OUTER TUBE SHRINKS. WHEN THE JT-125 TUBING COOLS, THE ADHESIVE SOLIDIFIES AND FORMS A FLEXIBLE WATERPROOF BARRIER. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE COVERING OF MARINE AND WIRE SPLICES AND PROTECTION OF COMPONENTS. BLACK IS FLAME-RETARDANT.

About Shrink Tubing JT-125 - MIL-I-23053/4

Jaguar Industries' JT-125 heat shrink tubing represents the premium standard for adhesive-lined heat shrinkable protection, meeting rigorous MIL-I-23053/4 Class 2 specifications for military and aerospace applications. This electrical grade flexible polyolefin tubing features a thin layer of thermoplastic adhesive that creates a waterproof environmental seal when heated. Rated for continuous operation from -55°C to 110°C, the JT-125 is designed to provide superior protection for wire splices, cable terminations, and sensitive components in harsh environments. When heated above 121°C, the adhesive melts and flows into intimate contact with the substrate as the outer polyolefin tube shrinks with a 2:1 shrink ratio. Upon cooling, the adhesive solidifies to form a flexible, waterproof barrier that provides excellent strain relief, mechanical protection, and environmental sealing. Available in nine standard sizes from 1/8 inch to 2 inches to accommodate various wire gauges and cable diameters. Black tubing is flame-retardant and meets UL 224 flammability requirements for self-extinguishing performance. Clear tubing is also available for applications requiring visual inspection of underlying connections. The adhesive layer provides exceptional peel strength: 30 PLI on polyethylene, 10 PLI on PVC, 15 PLI on lead, and 40 PLI on aluminum surfaces. Outstanding physical properties include 2100 PSI tensile strength, 450% ultimate elongation, and excellent low temperature flexibility with no cracking after 4 hours at -55°C. Superior chemical resistance to fuels, oils, solvents, and hydraulic fluids makes JT-125 ideal for marine and automotive applications. Non-corrosive and non-nutritive to fungus growth. Electrical properties include 800 V/mil dielectric strength and 10¹⁵ ohm-cm volume resistivity for reliable insulation performance. Standard packaging in convenient 4-foot lengths with custom cut pieces available upon request. Other colors available for special orders subject to minimum quantities. Perfect for military aircraft, naval vessels, spacecraft, ground vehicles, marine electronics, automotive wiring harnesses, outdoor telecommunications equipment, and any critical application requiring MIL-SPEC adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing with proven environmental sealing and long-term reliability in extreme conditions.
