🔷 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. -

📋 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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard shrinkage ratio of PE heat shrink tubing?▾
The standard shrinkage ratio of PE heat shrink tubing is 2:1, meaning the inner diameter is reduced by half after heating. This ensures a tight, uniform fit around objects of various shapes and sizes, providing reliable insulation and mechanical protection.
What is the operating temperature range for standard PE heat shrink tubing?▾
Standard PE heat shrink tubing has a continuous operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. High-temperature enhanced models are also available and can withstand up to +135°C or even +150°C, suitable for demanding environments such as automotive engine compartments.
Does PE heat shrink tubing comply with ROHS and REACH environmental requirements?▾
Yes. Mainstream PE heat shrink tubing products comply with EU environmental directives including ROHS and REACH. They are free of harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. The products are also certified by international safety standards such as UL and CSA.
How do I choose the right size of heat shrink tubing?▾
First, measure the maximum outer diameter of the object to be protected. Then select a product with a pre-shrink inner diameter that is 20%–30% larger than that measurement. After heating, confirm that the shrunk inner diameter tightly fits the object. Also consider the required temperature rating, flame retardancy, and voltage rating based on your application environment.
What is the difference between single-wall and dual-wall heat shrink tubing?▾
Single-wall heat shrink tubing provides standard insulation and mechanical protection. Dual-wall adhesive-lined tubing has an inner layer of hot-melt adhesive that melts during shrinkage, creating an excellent waterproof, moisture-resistant, and sealed bond. Dual-wall tubing is ideal for outdoor applications, humid environments, and cable joints requiring watertight sealing.
What tools are recommended for shrinking PE heat shrink tubing?▾
A heat gun, oven, or propane torch is recommended for even heating. When using a heat gun or torch, apply heat evenly from the middle towards the ends, or from one end to the other. Avoid concentrating heat on one spot for too long to prevent burning or charring. Heating is complete when the tubing is fully and smoothly shrunk against the object with no bubbles or wrinkles.
