Customer Questions & Answers
What is the shrink ratio of the 1 mm heat shrink tubing and at what temperature does it start to shrink?
The 1 mm heat shrink tubing usually has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning it can reduce its diameter by 50% when heat is applied. It starts to shrink from 70°C and reaches full shrinkage at around 120°C, depending on the manufacturer.
What are the dimensions, main material and approximate weight per metre of this tubing?
The tubing has an internal diameter of 1 mm before shrinking, is generally made of polyolefin and weighs around 1.2-1.5 g per metre. The wall thickness is usually about 0.2 mm before shrinking.
How is the heat shrink tubing installed correctly and which tools are recommended?
Cut the tubing to the desired length, slide it over the cable or part to be protected, and apply heat evenly with a hot air gun or, if necessary, a powerful hairdryer until it fits snugly. Avoid direct flames to prevent damage or burns.
What limitations does this tubing have against chemicals, UV or high continuous temperatures?
Polyolefin resists most oils and fuels well, but it can degrade under prolonged exposure to UV rays or continuous temperatures above 125°C. It is not recommended for outdoor environments without additional UV protection.
What is black 1mm heat shrink tubing used for?
It is used to insulate and protect electrical connections and solder joints, helping to prevent short circuits and mechanical damage.
How do you use heat shrink tubing?
Place it over the cable or connection and apply heat so it shrinks and fits tightly, providing insulation and protection.
Is it compatible with any type of cable?
Yes, it is compatible with most cables and components that need insulation and protection.
Is it sold by the metre?
Yes, this black 1mm heat shrink tubing is sold by the metre so you can order the amount you need.
Can I use it for automotive projects?
Yes, it is ideal for protecting cables and connections in automotive and electronics projects.
