Heat Shrink Tube, Black 6mm Sleeve 3:1 Shrinking Ratio

Product details

Heat Shrink Polyolefin Tubes, 3: 1 Ratio

We provide a range of high quality, easy to use general purpose--heat shrink tubing made from flexible and flame retardant polyolefin. This heat shrink tubing has a low shrink temperature of just 70 ° C (minimum) and a high 3: 1 shrink ratio, which means it shrinks to one third of its original diameter and is ideal for covering irregular or awkward shapes

What are heat shrink tubing?

Heat shrink tubing is a type of extruded plastic tubing that can be cut to size and attached to wire or cable to protect and insulate the connection. When heated, the tube continuously contracts to provide a protective seal. The degree of shrinkage depends on its shrinkage factor. When you buy a tube, it is in a stretched state, this stretched tube has a memory so that it will return to its original state when heated. Higher shrinkage factors are needed to cover materials with greater dimensional variation.

How to use the heat shrink tubing?

The diameter of the wire or cable is measured and the appropriate size of the heat shrink tubing is selected. A piece of pipe is cut to a length long enough to cover the joint or joint when heated. This then passes over the wire. After connecting the cable or wire, a piece of heat shrink tubing slides over the joint and is heated with a heat gun until it contracts and forms a tight wrap around the joint.

Features and Benefits of Flexible Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing

Flexible polyolefin is a material derived from polyethylene and one of the most widely used insulating materials, very flexible, quick-shrinking and durable. When heated, this polyolefin tubing shrinks radially to one-third of its original diameter, so the 3: 1 ratio of flexible polyolefin tubing has the following properties:

• Very flexible

• 3: 1 shrink ratio, reduced to a third of its original diameter, ideal for larger and more irregular shapes

• Flame retardant (except the transparent version)

• Operating temperature range from -55 to + 135 ° C

• Low shrinkage temperature of 70 ° C (minimum)

• Minimum temperature for full recovery: 110 ° C

• Excellent electrical insulation properties

• Resistant to common fluids and solvents

• Excellent abrasion resistance

What are polyolefin heat shrinkable tubes used for?

This polyolefin heat shrink tubing is very versatile and is used in commercial and industrial applications to protect and seal joints in cable and line components such as detachable terminals and wire connectors. It can also be used to repair cables or insulation of worn or torn wires. The high 3: 1 shrink ratio means this heat shrink tube can cover larger and more irregular shapes, for example, it can fit the cable and connector at the end to provide a fully sealed protective cover for the connector. Applications include:

• Electrical insulation

• Protects the environment from humidity, dust and chemicals.

• Mechanical protection of pipes and small parts against abrasion

• Mechanical strain relief on cable connections and connectors to prevent damage due to bending or bending

• Binding and organization of wire harnesses, cables and pipes

• Identification by color code of cables, wires and components
