It is designed to reduce in size when exposed to heat, creating a tight fit around whatever it is covering. This ensures that the item is safe from water damage or any other external threats.
Types of Heat Shrink Tubing
Heat Shrink Tubing comes in many different sizes and colors to suit the needs of various projects. For instance, 0 gauge heat shrink tubing provides extra thick insulation for larger wires while 1/4 inch heat shrink tubing rolls are best suited for smaller wires or connections. Dual wall heat shrink can be used to protect against extreme temperatures or corrosive materials while clear shrink wrap tubes are perfect for adding an extra layer of protection without hiding what’s inside.
How Heat Shrink Tubing are Made
Heat Shrink Tubing is made using a combination of polyolefin, fluoropolymer elastomers (such as FEP or PTFE), adhesives, and other compounds. The tubing itself typically has two layers: an inner lining which shrinks when heated and an outer jacket that provides additional protection against abrasion or harsh environments.
