2. Heat-shrink tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing

   Animation of heat-shrink tubing, before and after shrinking. Heat-shrink tubing (or, commonly, heat shrink or heatshrink) is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires, providing abrasion resistance and environmental protection for stranded and solid wire conductors, connections, joints and terminals in electrical wiring.

3. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

   The earth conductor is always stranded (unlike North American usage), with the exception of 1 mm 2 cables, and covered with green-yellow striped plastic insulation. In older cables the plastic insulation of the earth conductor is green. [6] Prior to the introduction of TPS cable, tough rubber sheathed (TRS) cable was used. Because of this, TPS ...

4. Silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

   Silicone caulk can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration. In organosilicon and polymer chemistry, a silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (−O−R 2 Si−O−SiR 2 −, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in ...

5. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

   A flexible coating of an insulator is often applied to electric wire and cable; this assembly is called insulated wire. Wires sometimes don't use an insulating coating, just air, when a solid (e.g. plastic) coating may be impractical. Wires that touch each other produce cross connections, short circuits, and fire hazards.

6. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

   Much of it is used by the construction industry, such as for vinyl siding, drainpipes, gutters and roofing sheets. It is also converted to flexible forms with the addition of plasticizers, thereby making it useful for items such as hoses, tubing, electrical insulation, coats, jackets and upholstery.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Rigid panel insulation, also known as continuous insulation [13] can be made from foam plastics such as polyisocyanurate or polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool. Rigid panel continuous insulation is often used to provide a thermal break in the building envelope, thus reducing thermal bridging.

8. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

   Silicone rubber is an elastomer (rubber-like material) composed of silicone—itself a polymer—containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone rubbers are widely used in industry, and there are multiple formulations.

9. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.
