Subsequently, the shaped heat-shrinkable material is stretched to a predetermined expanded state by heating at a temperature higher than the softening temperature of the resin or rubber and lower than the decomposition temperature. Thereafter, for example, the stretched heat-shrinkable material is attached to an object, and the heat-shrinkable material is irradiated with electromagnetic waves for a short period of time, so that the heat-shrinkable material is attached to the object in close contact with the object.

First, 5 parts by weight of iron powder and additives such as a vulcanizing agent were mixed uniformly with 100 parts by weight of EPDM. Note that if the iron powder is not mixed uniformly, heat generation will be uneven and heat shrinkage performance will deteriorate. In addition, in order to reduce the influence on the vulcanization reaction of EPDM, the particle size of the iron powder was adjusted to 0.05 to 0.1 mm.
I made it a little bigger. In addition, the particle shape of the iron powder is preferably spherical from the viewpoint of dispersibility during mixing. Next, by shaping this composition, a thin cylindrical unstretched molded article 1 as shown in FIG. 2 was obtained. Next, vulcanization treatment was performed by heating.

Next, a rubber hose 4 whose outer diameter is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the unstretched molded product 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 3 of the heat-shrinkable tube 2.
is inserted, and the electromagnetic wave irradiation device 5 irradiates electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 9 MHz and a current of 7 A. By irradiating this electromagnetic wave, the temperature of the heat-shrinkable tube 2 rises to 150° C., and heat-shrinkage treatment is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the heat-shrinkable tube 2 was shrunk and, as a result, recovered to its unstretched shape and was attached to the outer periphery of the rubber hose 4.

At this time, since iron powder with high thermal conductivity is evenly mixed in the heat-shrinkable tube 2, the heating rate of the heat-shrinkable tube 2 is fast, and the shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable tube 2 is completed in about 5 seconds. .

Furthermore, when EPDM foam is used as the heat-shrinkable tube 2, the heat-shrinkable tube 2 quickly rises to a temperature of 150°C, and the heat-shrinkable tube 2 completes heat shrinkage in about 10 seconds, although it is longer than the non-foamed one. did.

As mentioned above, since the heat-shrinkable tube 2 is almost uniformly mixed with metal powder that can be heated by induction, and electromagnetic waves are used as a means to shrink the heat-shrinkable tube 2, the metal powder inside the heat-shrinkable tube 2 is quickly generates heat, which causes the heat shrinkable tube 2 to shrink, shortening the time it takes to complete the shrinkage. In addition, since we adopted a method using electromagnetic waves as the heating means, the heating rate is fast as described above, and the temperature increase rate can be adjusted by changing the intensity of the electromagnetic waves, making temperature control easier than with conventional heating methods. It is. Furthermore, only the metal powder inside the heat shrink tube 2 generates heat due to electromagnetic waves, but the resin and/or rubber do not generate heat, and the rubber hose 4 itself, which is the object to be attached, is not directly heated. There is no risk of deteriorating the performance of the rubber hose 4 because it is heated only by heat transfer from the metal powder in the heat shrink tube 2 through the resin and/or rubber of the heat shrink tube 2.
