As vehicle designs evolve to meet the demands of electrification, lightweighting, and increased safety, engineers face growing challenges in protecting and organizing complex electrical systems. Traditional insulation and bundling methods often fall short in high-performance environments, leading to inefficiencies and potential failures.
This 60-minute webinar explores how advanced heat shrink technologies are transforming vehicle design and manufacturing. Attendees will learn how these solutions enhance durability, streamline assembly, and improve thermal and electrical performance across automotive applications — while also supporting sustainability goals through material innovations.
This session also will cover best practices for installation to ensure long-term reliability and highlight common pitfalls that can compromise performance or increase costs. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
Key topics include:
- Challenges in modern vehicle electrical system design
- Benefits of advanced heat shrink materials
- Integration strategies for manufacturing efficiency
- Sustainability innovations in materials and processes
- Installation best practices and common pitfalls
