Heat shrink tubing: Versatile protection in thin-walled, medium-walled and thick-walled with and without inner adhesive

Heat shrink tubing is an indispensable tool in many areas of electrical engineering, mechanics, and industrial applications. It provides excellent protection for cables, wires, and connections while ensuring clean and secure insulation. Depending on the requirements and application, heat shrink tubing is available in various wall thicknesses—thin-wall, medium-wall, and heavy-wall—and with or without an internal adhesive. These tubings are available in convenient 1-meter lengths or in roll-on boxes, allowing for flexible and needs-based application.

Thin-walled heat shrink tubing: Flexible protection for delicate applications

Thin-wall heat shrink tubing is ideal for applications requiring lightweight and flexible protection. These tubings have a thin wall thickness, making them particularly flexible and easy to process. They are the perfect choice for electronics applications, such as bundling cables, insulating solder joints, or marking wires. Despite their thin wall thickness, they offer reliable protection against mechanical influences, moisture, and chemical substances.

• Properties : Thin wall thickness, high flexibility, fast shrinkage performance
• Typical applications : electronics, cable bundling, insulation of solder joints, color coding
• Availability : In 1-meter pieces or as roll-off box

Medium-wall heat shrink tubing: The all-rounder for versatile applications

Medium-wall heat shrink tubing offers a balance of flexibility and robustness. They are thicker than thin-wall tubing, yet still offer enough flexibility for use in a wide range of applications. These tubings are ideal for protecting electrical connections, cables, and wires in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, and general electrical engineering. Available with or without an inner adhesive, they provide additional protection against environmental influences by ensuring a watertight seal.

• Features : Medium wall thickness, balanced flexibility and protection, optional internal bonding
• Typical applications : Automotive industry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, cable repair
• Availability : In 1-meter pieces or as roll-off box

Thick-walled heat shrink tubing: Maximum protection for demanding environments

Thick-wall heat shrink tubing is the most robust option, offering maximum protection for cables and connections in extreme environments. It's ideal for use in heavy industry, construction, or energy supply, where high mechanical stress, moisture, and chemical exposure can occur. Thick-wall tubing is particularly durable and resilient, making it the ideal choice for permanent installations. The adhesive-lined version provides a permanent, watertight seal and further enhances protection.

• Properties : Thick wall thickness, high mechanical strength, extremely durable, waterproof sealing with internal adhesive
• Typical applications : heavy industry, construction, energy supply, permanent installations
• Availability : In 1-meter pieces or as roll-off box

With and without internal adhesive: The right choice for every application

Heat shrink tubing is available with or without an inner adhesive to meet the specific requirements of your application:

• With inner adhesive : The inner adhesive melts as the hose shrinks, forming a strong, watertight seal. This provides additional protection against moisture, dust, and other harmful influences, extending the service life of the protected components.

• Without inner adhesive : These conduits are lighter and more flexible and are ideal for applications where additional protection against moisture is not required, such as in electronics or cable identification.
