China Silicone Cold Shrink Tube Factory - High-Performance Insulation Solutions by Trusted Suppliers
Product Features
-
◎ Cold Shrink Installation, Convenient & Safe
Eliminates traditional heat-shrink methods. Installation requires no special heating equipment or open flame, simplifying and speeding up the process while removing fire hazards. Ideal for explosive atmospheres or confined spaces.
-
◎ Exceptional Elasticity & Radial Pressure
The tubing possesses strong resilience and constant radial contraction force, ensuring a tight seal remains intact despite cable thermal expansion/contraction or vibration, providing long-term, stable moisture and water resistance.
-
◎ Extreme Temperature Range & Superior Weather Resistance
Continuous operating temperature range from -60℃ to 200℃, with higher short-term tolerance. The silicone material offers excellent resistance to natural aging, UV radiation, ozone, and salt spray corrosion, ensuring long-term stability in extreme conditions like frigid zones, humidity, coastal areas, and industrial pollution.
-
◎ High Insulation Reliability & Mechanical Protection
The material provides high insulation resistance and dielectric strength, suitable for power cable systems up to 35KV. It also features excellent tear resistance and puncture resistance; a small cut on the surface will not propagate easily, offering reliable mechanical protection.
-
◎ Adaptable Shrink Ratio
With an expansion ratio up to approximately 4:1, a single tube size can fit connectors within a range of outer diameters, simplifying inventory and enhancing application flexibility.

◎ Communications & Network Infrastructure: Waterproof and moisture-proof sealing for communication base station connectors, CATV connectors, and fiber optic splice closures.
◎ Rail Transit & Tunnel Engineering: Protection for cable and signal line joints in subway and high-speed rail tunnels, meeting low-smoke zero-halogen and long-term reliability requirements.
◎ New Energy & Industrial Sectors: Cable connections in wind and solar power plants, equipment cable sealing in chemical plants, mines, and other heavily polluted, high-humidity environments.
◎ Construction & Municipal Engineering: Insulation and protection for cable joints in building wiring, urban grid renovation, and street lighting systems.
Installation & Usage Guide
-
◎ Preparation: • Ensure the cable joint is properly prepared, with a clean, dry, and smooth surface free of burrs. Verify the cold shrink tubing size matches the cable outer diameter.
◎ Installation Steps: • Slide the cold shrink tubing over the cable and position it at the desired sealing location.
• Evenly pull the internal support core (or plastic strip) in the direction indicated.
• Observe the tubing shrinking uniformly from one end until it tightly encapsulates the cable joint.
• After complete shrinkage, check that both ends of the tubing are properly seated, forming uniform skirt-like seals.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat is cold shrink tubing and how does it differ from heat shrink tubing?
ACold shrink tubing is pre-expanded silicone rubber tubing supported by a removable inner core. Unlike heat shrink tubing, it requires no heat source or open flame — simply remove the core and the tubing contracts tightly around the cable joint. This makes it safer, faster, and suitable for use in hazardous or confined environments.
QWhat voltage levels is this cold shrink silicone tubing rated for?
AThe tubing is available for power cable systems rated at 1KV, 10KV, and up to 35KV, covering a wide range of low and medium voltage applications including substations, distribution cabinets, and outdoor overhead lines.
QWhat is the operating temperature range of this silicone cold shrink tubing?
AThe tubing has a continuous operating temperature range of -60℃ to +200℃, with higher short-term tolerance. This makes it suitable for extreme environments including arctic conditions, high-humidity zones, coastal areas, and industrial pollution environments.
QWhat cable outer diameter range can this tubing accommodate?
AThe applicable outer diameter range is Φ1mm to Φ70mm (or larger with customization). With a shrink ratio of up to approximately 4:1, a single tube size can cover connectors within a broad range of outer diameters, simplifying inventory management.
QIs this product compliant with international standards and certifications?
AYes. The cold shrink silicone tubing complies with IEEE, IEC, GB, and other international and national standards. It is also ROHS compliant, ensuring it meets environmental and safety requirements for global markets.
QCan custom sizes, colors, or packaging be arranged?
AYes. While standard products are available in black with common sizes, custom colors, special dimensions, and tailored packaging can all be arranged upon request. Please contact us with your specific requirements for a customized quote.
