China Excellent Flame Retardancy PE Heat Shrink Tube Factory

Product Overview

‌PE Heat Shrink Tubing, fully named Polyethylene Heat Shrinkable Sleeving, is a functional polymer tubing primarily made from specially formulated polyolefin materials such as Polyethylene (PE) or Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate copolymer (EVA). It is manufactured through a series of precision processes including compounding, extrusion, radiation cross-linking, expansion, and cooling. Its core functionality is based on the “glassy state – high elastic state” transition of polymer materials: at room temperature, the material is in a “glassy state” with a fixed form; when heated to its shrinkage temperature (typically between 84°C and 120°C), it transitions to a “high elastic state,” memory its pre-expansion size and rapidly shrinks to form a tight, insulating, sealing, and anti-corrosive protective layer around the object. Known for its excellent insulation, flame retardancy, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, this product is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive manufacturing, household appliances, communication equipment, and low-to-medium voltage power cables.

  • Physical: Tensile Strength: ≥10.4Mpa/UL224
  • Breakage Elongation: ≥200%
  • Tensile Strength after aging: 158±1℃,168hr/UL224
  • Breakage Elongation after aging: 158±1℃,168hr/UL224
  • Volume resistivity: UL224

Features

  • ◎ ‌Excellent Electrical Insulation

    • Provides superior insulation, with a standard voltage rating of up to 600V, effectively preventing current leakage and short circuits.
    • High dielectric strength meets the insulation requirements for most low to medium voltage electrical environments.

  • ◎ ‌Good Flame Retardancy and Safety

    • Products can achieve UL VW-1 or higher flame retardancy ratings through added flame retardants, being self-extinguishing and effectively slowing flame spread to enhance electrical safety.
    • Some eco-friendly models ensure no harm to humans or the environment during use and disposal.

  • ◎ ‌Broad Operating Temperature Range

    • Standard models have a continuous operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, suitable for most indoor and outdoor temperature variations.
    • High-temperature enhanced models can withstand up to +135°C or even +150°C, catering to applications in high-temperature environments like engine compartments.

  • ◎ ‌‌Reliable Shrinkage and Mechanical Protection

    • The standard shrinkage ratio is typically 2:1 (meaning the inner diameter halves after shrinking), ensuring a tight, uniform fit around objects of various shapes upon heating.
    • After shrinkage, it provides good mechanical protection, enhancing the abrasion and cut resistance of wire harnesses and preventing corrosion on metal parts.
    • The material is soft and elastic, facilitating bending and installation in complex routing situations.

  • ◎ ‌‌Outstanding Environmental Compliance and Certifications

    • Mainstream products comply with EU environmental directives such as ROHS and REACH, being free of harmful substances like lead, cadmium, and mercury.
    • Certified by international safety standards like UL and CSA which fully satisfying export requirements.

  • ◎ ‌‌Diverse Functional Designs

    • In addition to standard single-wall tubing, dual-wall adhesive-lined tubing is available. The inner layer of hot-melt adhesive melts during shrinkage, providing excellent waterproofing, moisture resistance, and sealing, ideal for outdoor or humid environments.
    • Available in various colors including black, red, yellow, green, and blue, facilitating circuit phase identification or product categorization.

‌Applications

PE-img1

Prodcut Applications

◎ ‌‌Electronics, Electrical & Communications‌: Insulation protection and bundling for various wire harnesses and terminals; encapsulation of components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors; mechanical and electrical isolation of solder joints; antenna protection.
◎ ‌‌Automotive Industry‌: Insulation protection for wiring harnesses in new energy and traditional vehicles; connection protection for battery modules; wrapping for sensor cables; waterproof sealing for cable joints.

PE-img2

Prodcut Applications

◎ ‌‌Power & Electrical‌: Insulation restoration for low-voltage cable joints and terminations; insulation protection for busbars; anti-corrosion coating for electrical hardware.
◎ ‌‌Household Appliances‌: Insulation reinforcement and organization for internal power cords and motor leads.
◎ ‌‌Military & Marine‌: Moisture-proof, mildew-proof, and insulation treatment for internal equipment cables; anti-corrosion protection for metal pipes and rods.

‌Usage and Selection Guide

  • ◎ ‌‌Selection Steps

    • Determine Size‌: Measure the maximum outer diameter of the object to be protected. Select a product with a pre-shrink inner diameter 20%-30% larger. Confirm the required final tightly-fitted inner diameter after shrinkage.
    • Confirm Performance‌: Determine the required operating temperature rating, flame retardancy rating (e.g., VW-1), voltage rating, and whether waterproof sealing is needed (choose dual-wall adhesive-lined tubing) based on the application environment.
    • ‌Choose Color & Certification‌: Select color based on identification needs and confirm the product possesses the necessary safety and environmental certifications.

  • ◎ ‌‌Shrinkage Process

    • Tools‌: A heat gun, oven, or propane torch is recommended for even heating.
    • Procedure‌: Slide the heat shrink tubing onto the object. Apply heat evenly from the middle towards the ends or from one end to the other. Avoid prolonged concentrated heat on one spot to prevent burning through or charring.
    • Completion‌: Heating is complete when the tubing is fully shrunk, with a smooth, flat surface tightly conforming to the object without bubbles or wrinkles.
