Heat Shrink Polyolefin Tubing

2:1 SHRINK RATIO, FLEXIBLE, FLAME RETARDANT, POLYOLEFIN TUBING



Polyolefin heat shrink tubing is a type of plastic tubing that can shrink when heat is applied to it. Polyolefin is a type of polymer that is commonly used for heat shrink tubing because it is resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and UV light.


Polyolefin heat shrink tubing is popular due to its versatility and durability, and it can be found in a range of sizes, colors, and shrink ratios to accommodate different applications. It is also easy to install, as it can be cut to length and shrunk in place using a heat gun, oven, or other heat source.


Heat shrink tubing is used in a variety of applications, such as electrical insulation, cable bundling, strain relief, and protection of electronic components. When heated, the tubing shrinks to a smaller diameter and conforms tightly to the object it is covering, creating a snug fit that protects and secures the object.


Here are some common applications of polyolefin heat shrink tube:


Electrical insulation: Polyolefin heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical applications to insulate and protect wires and cables from moisture, dust, and mechanical damage.



Cable bundling and protection: Heat shrink tubing can be used to bundle and protect cables and wires from abrasion, strain, and environmental factors.



Connector and component protection: Heat shrink tubing can be used to protect connectors and electronic components from dust, moisture, and corrosion.



Strain relief: Heat shrink tubing can be used to relieve strain on cable connections and protect them from damage due to tension, vibration, and flexing.



Identification and marking: Heat shrink tubing can be used to label and identify cables, wires, and other components.



Automotive and marine applications: Heat shrink tubing is used in automotive and marine applications to protect wires and cables from water, chemicals, and abrasion.



Medical and food industries: Heat shrink tubing is used in medical and food industries to protect and insulate sensitive equipment
