Customer Questions & Answers
What advantages does this PVC heat-shrink tubing offer compared with alternatives such as polyolefin for protecting battery packs?
PVC heat-shrink tubing stands out for its greater mechanical resistance and better surface rigidity compared with polyolefin, making it easier to protect batteries from knocks and scuffs. However, polyolefin usually tolerates a wider temperature range and offers better flexibility, so the choice depends on whether robustness or thermal adaptability is the priority.
How should this heat-shrink tubing be applied correctly, and what are the risks if it is overheated?
The tubing should be placed over the item to be insulated and exposed to a heat source, such as a hot air gun, from 80 °C onwards. Excessive overheating can cause discolouration, PVC degradation or even combustion. It is important not to exceed 105 °C to maintain the integrity of the material.
Which electronic devices or components are compatible with this tubing diameter (120 mm), and is there tolerance for small measurement differences?
The 120 mm diameter makes it suitable for groups of 18650 cells or similar-shaped items. The shrink tolerance margin is ≥48 ±5%, so it allows slight variations, although if the item exceeds 120 mm before shrinking, coverage will be insufficient.
Does this tubing require any special maintenance after installation on lithium batteries?
No active maintenance is required once installed, but it should be checked periodically for cracks, cuts or deformation due to overheating or continuous exposure to aggressive chemicals. Durability is high if used within the -40 °C to 105 °C temperature range.
Does this tubing comply with electrical safety or fire protection regulations required for battery packaging?
The tubing supports a rated voltage of up to 300 V and has a temperature class of 105 °C, providing basic insulation functions. However, it is not certified as self-extinguishing or under specific standards such as UL94, so it does not replace mandatory flame-retardant coverings in regulated installations.
What is the PVC heat shrink tube 1m x 120mm used for?
It is used to insulate and protect battery packs, electronic components and other devices, helping to prevent moisture, dust and corrosion.
What is the maximum temperature this tube can withstand?
It can withstand up to 105 °C as its temperature class, and its shrink temperature is 80 °C.
How do you apply the heat shrink tube?
It is applied by heating it with a lighter or hot air gun so that it shrinks and fits the component.
Is this tube suitable for lithium battery packs?
Yes, it is ideal for protecting and improving the appearance of lithium battery packs and other electronic components.
Is the product currently in stock?
