Customer Questions & Answers

What advantages does 8 mm heat-shrink tubing offer compared with other methods of insulating electrical cables?

Heat-shrink tubing provides uniform and secure insulation, protecting against moisture, abrasion and short circuits. Unlike insulating tape, once installed it does not move over time, which improves the durability and reliability of the covering.

What is the real reduction in diameter when heat is applied, and what tolerances should be considered in use?

This tubing has a nominal diameter of 8 mm before heat shrinking and can reduce to approximately 4 mm after heat is applied, indicating a 2:1 ratio. A tolerance of +/-0.5 mm should be considered due to manufacturing variations and shrink temperature.

What heat sources are suitable for installation, and what temperatures are needed to achieve shrinkage?

Optimum shrinkage is achieved between 90°C and 120°C. A heat gun or controlled hot air is recommended; a blowtorch or lighter is not advisable due to the risk of damaging the material or cables.

Which cable sizes is the 8 mm tubing suitable for, and how do you choose the right size for the application?

The 8 mm tubing is suitable for cables with an outer diameter of 5 to 7.5 mm before insulation, ensuring a snug cover after shrinking. For a tighter seal, it is recommended that the initial tubing diameter be 20-30% larger than the cable diameter.

What diameter is the tubing before and after heating?

The tubing has an initial diameter of 8mm and reduces to a maximum of 4mm when heated.

Is the tubing sold by the metre or in rolls?

It is sold by the metre, allowing you to buy the exact amount needed.

What is this red 8mm heat shrink tubing used for?

It is used to protect and insulate cables and electrical connections in electronics and soldering work.

Is it compatible with any type of cable?

Yes, it is compatible with most cables and electronic components that require thermal and electrical insulation.
