Customer Questions & Answers
What is the main function of PVC heat-shrink tubing and what benefits does it offer over traditional adhesive tape?
PVC heat-shrink tubing provides electrical insulation and uniform mechanical protection, sealing the item tightly when heat is applied. Unlike adhesive tape, it offers greater resistance to moisture, dust and abrasion, as well as a neat, uniform finish. It is especially useful for encapsulating battery packs and components that require stability and long-lasting insulation.
Can it be cut to a shorter length without affecting its performance?
Yes, the tubing can be easily cut with scissors or a craft knife to the desired length before application, while retaining its heat-shrink properties. It is important to ensure the cut is clean to avoid fraying or heat loss during shrinking.
What types of batteries or components is it compatible with, considering the diameter and shrink temperature?
This tubing, with a flat diameter of 180 mm (before shrinking), is compatible with large battery packs, cell bundles or groups of components of up to approximately 114–120 mm cylindrical diameter (considering a shrink of ≥48±5%). It withstands operating temperatures of -40 °C to 105 °C and must be exposed to at least 80 °C to shrink properly.
What safety precautions should be taken when installing the heat-shrink tubing?
It is recommended to use a hot air gun or a heat-resistant dryer to heat the tubing evenly, avoiding direct heat sources such as open flames on tubing of this size. It should be used in ventilated areas to avoid inhaling PVC fumes. Do not use it while the equipment is energised and avoid burns from contact with the hot tubing.
What is the estimated service life of PVC heat-shrink tubing compared with alternatives such as polyolefin?
The service life of PVC heat-shrink tubing is usually several years in indoor environments, although it is less resistant to UV radiation and extreme temperatures than polyolefin tubing. In applications without direct sunlight and within its range (-40 °C to 105 °C), it maintains its mechanical and dielectric properties stably, although it may become brittle after many years or when exposed to aggressive chemicals.
What is the PVC heat shrink tube 1m x 180mm used for?
It is used to protect and insulate battery packs, capacitors and electronic components, providing electrical insulation and protection against moisture and dust.
What is the shrink temperature of the tube?
The shrink temperature is 80 °C, with an approximate shrinkage of 48±5%.
How do you apply the heat shrink tube?
It is recommended to heat the tube with a hot air gun or a lighter so that it shrinks and fits tightly around the object. Using electrochromic iron is not recommended.
Is it resistant to high temperatures?
Yes, the tube supports a temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C, with a temperature class of 105 °C.
What is included in the package?
It includes 1 metre of blue PVC heat shrink tube with the stated specifications.
