Heat shrink tubing: what is it and how to use it?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Heat
\nHeat shrink tubing – also called electrical shrink tubing – is an important protective and regulatory product used in various electrical arrays.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This blog will answer the question: What are heat shrink tubing used for?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In general, heat shrink tubing is a common element in most electrical installations that insulates electrical components from external factors such as moisture, dust, corrosion and sharp objects that may damage wiring and electrical components.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This type of damage eventually results in shortcomings and failures.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It will also tie loose wires, connectors, joints, terminals and connections together, creating more organized and manageable bundles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The use of color-coded heat shrink tubing helps make wires and components easier to identify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"What is heat shrink?<\/span><\/span>
\nCable Type Heat shrink tube is a thermoplastic tube that shrinks when exposed to heat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When placed around wiring arrays and electrical components, heat shrink tubing collapses diagonally to fit the perimeter of the device, creating a protective layer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They may cover sections of individual wires or entire arrays and protect against abrasion, low impact, cuts, moisture and dust.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To create heat shrink tubing, plastic manufacturers first use extrusion to make a tube from a thermoplastic material.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The materials used for heat shrink tubing vary depending on the intended application.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once the desired plastic has been extruded, the material is heated and forced to expand, increasing the diameter of the tube.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The expanded tubes are allowed to cool to room temperature and set.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This expanded thermoplastic tube is then placed around wires or other desired components and heated to a specific temperature.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The heat causes the tube to soften and shrink back to its original extruded size, effectively enclosing the wires or other components within an airtight layer of protective plastic.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits of Heat Shrink<\/span><\/span>
\nVersatile and easy to use, heat shrink tubing offers many unique advantages, including:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Protection against abrasion, low impact and sharp cutting edges<\/span><\/span>
\nDefense against water, chemicals, dust and other intrusive contaminants<\/span><\/span>
\nOrganize wires and cables into easy-to-handle bundles<\/span><\/span>
\nSmoother feel and finish<\/span><\/span>
\nElectrical and thermal insulation<\/span><\/span>
\nEnhanced structural support to reduce stress on wires, connectors and components<\/span><\/span>
\nCompatible with color additives to aid wire identification<\/span><\/span>
\nHeat Shrink Tubing Materials<\/span><\/span>
\nHeat shrink tubing can be manufactured from a wide range of thermoplastic materials and is often combined with… Added to enhance specified properties.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Common materials used for heat shrink tubing include:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Polyolefin:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Polyolefin is the most popular material for shrink tubing due to its thermal resistance. It is more expensive than PVC but is able to withstand temperatures of up to 125-135\u00b0C.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This property makes it ideal for manufacturing, industrial and mechanical applications with high operating temperatures.<\/span><\/span>
\nAdhesive-lined polyolefin:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To provide a safer tube that does not slip in critical conditions,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturers have created polyolefin heat shrink tubing with an adhesive inner layer that melts and adheres to the wires and components inside the tube to fill voids and ensure a close fit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Added adhesive provides additional support and increased protection from moisture and harsh conditions.<\/span><\/span>
\nPVC:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PVC is less expensive than polyolefin but has a lower temperature threshold of about 105\u00b0C. PVC material is durable, strong and highly abrasion resistant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It can be manufactured with high definition, bright colors, flame retardant properties,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Making it a very versatile and cost-effective option for low temperature applications.<\/span><\/span>
\nOther materials used in heat shrink tubing include PTFE, FEP, elastomers, silicone rubber, and Viton.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The best material type depends primarily on the conditions in which the equipment will operate and the shrinkage required to create the desired seal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

High quality heat shrink tubing from standardized electronic wire and cable<\/span><\/span>
\nWhether for low impact indoor applications or heavy duty industrial settings,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Heat shrink tubing materials can protect and organize wires, connectors and other electrical components.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At Uniform Electronic Cables & Wires, we offer a comprehensive range of heat shrink-wrapped wires, cables and parts to meet the needs of almost any application.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
