Heat shrink tubing

Heat Shrink Tubing

Heat shrink tubing, also known as shrink tubing or heat shrinkable sleeving, is a type of extruded plastic tubing that, when heated to a predetermined shrink ratio, shrinks in size to fit specific applications.

Heat shrink tubing is available in a variety of sizes and shrink ratios to suit required applications.
In addition to black heat shrink tubing you will find a wide range of colored heat shrink tubing, perfect for color coding different conductors or cables. You can find the following color range:

• Black
• Blue
• Green
• Transparent
• White
• Red
• and many others

The diameter and shrinkage ratio are two of the most important parameters for choosing the right heat shrink tubing:

• Wall thickness is indicated in mm (when fully shrinked), it can be thick, medium or thin.
• Shrinkage ratio indicates the ratio by which the product shrinks (i.e., the diameter supplied in relation to the final diameter), it varies from 2:1 to 6:1. The higher the ratio, the larger the diameter of the object the tube can cover.

In case you don't have a clear idea of what you need you will find heat shrink tubing in handy pre-packaged kits, in different diameters and lengths.
