Notes on recovering Pebax® tubes

  1. Recovery temperature is 170°C(338°F); however, set the temperature to 165°C(329°F) if you are using an electric furnace. If the temperature exceeds 170°C(338°F) the thin tubes may be melted.
  2. If you are using a heat gun, point the gun from the edge of the tube. Pebax® is hot-melt resin, thus, be careful with the temperature above 170°C(338°F).
  3. The walls of the tubes with the shrink ratio of 4:1 are extremely thin. The outer wall tends to stick together because of static electricity. When using the tube, put air into the tube to blow it before covering the target.
    A few centimeters of both ends of a tube are recovered before shipping for preventing the wall to be stuck together. Use an air gun with a nozzle to blow the tube.

Appearance

As the wall thicknesses of Palladium™ are extremely thin, the tubes may be bent or kinked because of the static electricity during transportation.
Cobalt Polymers are trying hard for improving the appearances; however, some of the tubes still have such appearances.
Even though the appearances are not good, they do not affect the shrinking abilities of the tubes, as Cobalt Polymers guarantee that. Penn&Nitto also confirmed the ability of the tubes with bad appearances that they do not affect the tubes recovering abilities. However, if a target cannot fit in a tube properly because of the bad appearances, please contact us.

Storage and validity period

●Store with the temperatures lower than 40°C.

●Validity period: Within three (3) years from the shipment are warranted.
(Three (3) years is the period when tubes were stored in the condition above. This validity is warranted by Penn&Nitto.)
