Customer Questions & Answers
Which applications or cables are each size of the heat-shrink tubes in the set best suited to?
The smaller-diameter heat-shrink tubes (1.0 to 4.0 mm) are ideal for insulating and protecting fine cable connections and electronic components, while the larger-diameter ones (6.0 to 14.0 mm) are commonly used for power cables, thicker splices or wiring looms. Selection depends on the conductor gauge and the level of insulation required.
Which tools or heat sources are compatible for efficient shrinking of these tubes?
It is recommended to use hot air guns or adjustable heat blowers, ensuring even heat distribution. Although powerful hairdryers may also work, open flames are not recommended to avoid damage or localised overheating. Efficient shrinking occurs between +70°C and +110°C.
Does the polyolefin material of these tubes offer suitable resistance to outdoor environments and chemical agents?
Polyolefin provides good resistance to abrasion, oils and most common solvents, and also withstands operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C. However, prolonged exposure to UV rays can degrade the material, so it is not the most durable option for permanent outdoor use.
Are there any safety or certification differences compared with heat-shrink tubes from other brands on the market?
This set complies with RoHS regulations, which guarantees the absence of hazardous substances in its composition. The dielectric strength of 15 kV/mm and tensile strength of 10.4 MPa are at the higher end compared with similar products, providing good electrical insulation and mechanical resistance.
How much does the tube diameter actually reduce after shrinking, and how can compatibility with the cable to be insulated be checked?
The shrink ratio is 2:1, so for example a tube with an internal diameter of 4.0 mm reduces to 2.0 mm after heat is applied. To choose the right tube, it is recommended that the shrunk diameter is slightly smaller than the cable or joint, ensuring a firm, snug fit.
What is heat shrink tubing used for?
Heat shrink tubing is used to insulate, protect and organise electrical connections and cables, offering resistance to moisture and wear.
What sizes are included in this heat shrink tubing set?
It includes tubing in 8 sizes: 1.0mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm, 10.0mm and 14.0mm internal diameter before shrinking.
What material is this tubing made from?
It is made from polyolefin, a durable material that withstands temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.
What is the shrink ratio of the tubing?
The shrink ratio is 2:1, which means it shrinks to half its original diameter when heat is applied.
Does this set comply with any standards?
Yes, it complies with RoHS, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances.
