Heat shrinkable tube 8mm

The Heat Shrinkable Tube 8mm is a durable and flexible tubing designed to insulate wires, provide strain relief, and protect components from environmental factors. This tubing shrinks to fit tightly around materials when heated, ensuring a secure and professional finish.

Key Features:

• Material: High-quality polyolefin for durability and flexibility.
• Shrink Ratio: Typically 2:1, meaning it shrinks to half its original diameter when heated.
• Diameter: 8mm before shrinking.
• Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C.
• Insulation: Excellent electrical insulation and mechanical protection.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to common chemicals, oils, and solvents.
• Colors: Available in various colors for easy identification and color-coding of wires.

Technical Specifications:

• Inner Diameter (before shrinking): 8mm
• Inner Diameter (after shrinking): 4mm (2:1 shrink ratio)
• Wall Thickness (after shrinking): 0.5mm to 0.8mm
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Shrink Temperature: Starts at 70°C, fully shrinks at 125°C
• Material: Polyolefin
• Length: Available in various lengths, commonly sold in 1-meter or 5-meter rolls

Applications:

• Electrical Insulation: Insulating and protecting wires and electrical connections.
• Strain Relief: Providing strain relief for soldered and crimped connections.
• Environmental Protection: Protecting components from moisture, dust, and chemicals.
• Cable Management: Bundling and organizing cables and wires.
• Repair: Repairing damaged insulation on wires and cables.

Usage:

1. Cut to Length: Cut the heat shrinkable tube to the desired length.
2. Slide Over Connection: Slide the tube over the wire or connection to be insulated.
3. Apply Heat: Use a heat gun or lighter to apply heat evenly to the tube, starting from one end and working towards the other.
4. Shrink and Secure: The tube will shrink tightly around the wire or connection, providing a secure and insulated finish.

Caution:

• Ensure even heating to prevent overheating and damage to the tube.
• Use appropriate heat sources such as a heat gun for uniform shrinking.
• Avoid direct contact with flames to prevent burning.
