About Us · Since 2001

We Make the Material Not Just the Kit

Dalian United Polymer Material Co., Ltd. has developed produced and sold heat shrink products braided sleeving and other functional polymer materials for 24 years. Compounding extrusion radiation cross linking expansion molding and testing all happen at our own plant in Dalian.

Who We Are

A Functional Polymer Manufacturer Serving Seven Industries

Dalian United Polymer Material Co., Ltd. specialises in the research development production and sale of heat shrink products braided sleeving and other functional polymer materials. Our focus is covering and protection solutions for system components delivering insulation waterproofing abrasion resistance impact resistance colour coding wire bundling electromagnetic shielding and identification.

Products are used across automotive electronics telecommunications defence aerospace power marine and shipbuilding. This site covers the power industry range specifically because the requirements are different enough to deserve their own catalogue.

In 2019 we established a branch in Daman India to accelerate international market coverage. We supply SIEMENS GE EATON and CONTITECH among other international customers and hold Ford supplier approval against specification ES-LU5T-1A263-AA.

Advantages

Six Reasons Customers Move Their Supply to Us

Deep Technical Accumulation

24 years focused on heat shrink materials with mature radiation cross linking technology and an extensive formulation library that belongs to us rather than to a compound supplier.

Reliable Product Quality

Complete international certification and long term cooperation with globally known companies. Product consistency batch to batch is the thing our largest customers actually buy.

Customisation Capability

Wall thickness shrink ratio chemical resistance and dimensional parameters adjusted to customer requirement. Special sizes and unusual operating conditions are normal work here not an exception.

Responsive Service System

A flexible production scheduling system that responds quickly to small batch custom requirements rather than only serving long production runs.

In House Testing

More than 90 percent of product performance tests are carried out in our own laboratory which means a specification question gets answered in hours not weeks.

Continuous Development

New products introduced continuously including self closing braided sleeving and heat shrinkable braided sleeving alongside the power cable accessory range.

Factory

Inside the Plant

Every photograph is our own site. Each one is captioned so you know what you are looking at.

The Dalian Plant at the UPM Heat Shrink factory in Dalian China

The Dalian Plant

Shihe Industrial Park Puwan New District Dalian Liaoning. Compounding extrusion irradiation expansion molding and test all sit on this one site.

Extrusion and Processing at the UPM Heat Shrink factory in Dalian China

Extrusion and Processing

Extrusion lines running single wall dual wall and co extruded product. Line side stations let an operator check wall thickness and concentricity without stopping the run.

Braiding and Winding at the UPM Heat Shrink factory in Dalian China

Braiding and Winding

Braiding and winding lines feeding the sleeve and screen products. The same winding discipline lets us supply cable accessory tubing on spool rather than only in cut lengths.

Semi Finished Stock at the UPM Heat Shrink factory in Dalian China

Semi Finished Stock

Spooled semi finished product held between extrusion and expansion. Holding stock at this stage is how a made to order size still ships in 15 to 25 working days.

Finished Goods Warehouse at the UPM Heat Shrink factory in Dalian China

Finished Goods Warehouse

Packed and labelled finished goods staged for despatch. Every carton carries a batch record that traces back to the compound lot and process parameters.

Site Overview

One site one quality system one production record. Nothing in the electrical path of a UPM accessory is subcontracted to a third party.

More than 90 percent of product performance testing is carried out in our own laboratory. That covers tensile strength ultimate elongation heat aging water absorption low temperature flexibility heat shock dielectric strength volume resistivity dielectric constant loss factor tracking and erosion resistance flammability and colour fastness to light.

Every finished carton carries a production record that traces back to the compound lot and the process parameters that made it. If a question arises three years after delivery we can still tell you exactly what you received.

Manufacturing

How a Heat Shrink Accessory Is Actually Made

  1. 01

    Compounding

    Base polyolefin antioxidants flame retardants and functional fillers are mixed to a recipe held under our own formulation control rather than bought as a masterbatch.

  2. 02

    Extrusion

    The compound is extruded to the required wall and diameter. Co extruded products form two or three layers in a single pass so no interface can trap air.

  3. 03

    Radiation Cross Linking

    Electron beam irradiation creates the cross linked network that gives the material its shape memory. This step is what makes the product heat shrinkable.

  4. 04

    Expansion

    The cross linked part is heated expanded to its supplied diameter and cooled under tension so the expanded shape is locked in until heat is applied again.

  5. 05

    Test and Inspection

    More than 90 percent of product performance tests are carried out in our own laboratory including tensile elongation heat aging dielectric strength and tracking resistance.

  6. 06

    Packing and Traceability

    Each batch carries a production record so a delivered part can be traced back to its compound lot and process parameters.
