A heat-shrinkable tubular article for forming a wire splice is both resistant to high temperatures and capable of rapid installation. The heat-shrinkable tubular article includes a heat-shrinkable jacket material and an inner adhesive layer having a thixotropic heat-flowable additive. The tubular article having at least one of a maximum internal diameter of no more than 15 mm or a maximum length of no more than 100 mm.

Article and method for forming a wire seal

An apparatus for heating a splice seal includes structural members defining a heating area that receives a splice seal. At least one of the structural members is moveable between an open position and a closed position. At least one heat source is arranged in the heating area. The heat source directs infrared radiation toward the splice seal when the structural member is in the closed position. At least one cooling device cools the heating area when the structural member is in the closed position.
