NMW is a medium wall semi-rigid sleeving, available in black 1.2mtr unlined lengths, It comes in a range of sizes up to 230mm diameter. NMW is available in a shrink ratio of typically 3:1 and benefits from the wall thickness where wear resistance and mechanical strength are important.
It is also available with a hot melt adhesive lining NMWA, or with a mastic sealant NMWA(S). These combine the attributes of the unlined material with the benefit of the lining, making it the ideal solution to cable jointing and repairs, both above and below ground where it protects against ingress of moisture, salt water and chlorine attack.
