Molded Parts Pre-coated
with Thermoplastic
Adhesive
Connector Boot
1. Degrease the area of
the adapter to which
the boot will be bonded,
using appropriate
solvent on a paper
tissue or clean cloth. Do
not abrade the adapter
or inside surface of the
boot.
2. Lightly abrade the
bonding area of the
cable jacket with #320
emery cloth, then wipe
off loose particles with a
tissue or clean cloth
dampened with solvent.
3. Position the boot on the
adapter and cable.
Apply heat starting at
the connector end.
4. Recover the connector
end of the boot onto the
adapter and continue
heating until the area is
fully recovered and the
adhesive is properly
melted.
5. Complete the recovery
of the boot, continuing
toward the cable end of
the boot until the part is
fully recovered and the
adhesive is properly
melted. The adhesive
should form a bead or
fillet between the cable
and boot when fully
melted.
6. With a clean cloth,
remove excess
adhesive from all
areas immediately.
7. Follow the curing
conditions outlined in
this guide.
Transition
1. Lightly abrade the
bonding area of the
cable jacket with #320
emery cloth, then wipe
off loose particles with a
tissue or clean cloth
dampened with solvent.
2. Center the molded part
over the transition area.
3. Apply heat to the center
of the transition. Recover
one leg of the transition,
moving heat from the
center of the transition
to the adhesive opening
of the leg. Repeat the
procedure on each leg
of the transition.
4. Continue heating each
end until the part is
fully recovered and the
adhesive has properly
melted. The adhesive
should form a bead or
fillet between the cable
and transition when
fully melted.
5. Follow the curing
conditions specified
for “thermosets” in the
“Adhesive/Sealant
Product Characteristics
Table” on pages 5-2 and
5-3.
