A recoverable article comprises a recoverable fabric, means for rendering the fabric impervious, and a shaped liner. The assembly can be used to form a pressure resistant splice case for telecommunications cables.

Method for making recoverable article for encapsulation

Recoverable article for encapsulation

A recoverable article comprising a recoverable fabric, optionally with a matrix material, is provided with a closure whereby it can be retained in the wrapped around configuration. The article is suitable for environmentally protecting cables and pipes and joins therein.

Wraparound recovery article

A recoverable article comprises a fabric having zones of different or uniformly varying recovery forces or ratios. The fabric can be made impervious and used for environmental protection.

Recoverable article

A method of environmentally sealing a pipe, cable or harness substrate by means of a recoverable fabric and a sheet of polymeric material.

Method of environmental sealing

A heat recoverable article comprises a recoverable fabric and a polymeric layer of at least 0.03 mm thickness, and preferably unstressed. Such an article can be recovered by means of a torch to provide an environmental seal around substrates such as cables and pipes.

Heat-recoverable article

A recoverable article comprising a recoverable fabric having a recovery of at least 40% may be used for providing environmental protection.
