Detailed Description:
This premium heat-shrinkable tubing is supplied in a continuous 100-metre roll, with a nominal undeployed internal diameter of approximately 8 mm (Φ8 mm) before shrinking. The tube is produced in brown colour—ideal for colour-coding wiring bundles, matching enclosure aesthetics, or distinguishing particular circuit groups. Made from high-quality cross-linked polyolefin (or equivalent heat-shrink material), it offers dependable electrical insulation, mechanical protection and environmental sealing for wires, cable joints, splices or connectors.
Key features:
-
Nominal inner diameter: ~8 mm before shrink — chosen so the tubing can be slid over the conductor or joint and then shrunk to a snug fit.
-
Colour: Brown — useful for visual differentiation or matching panel/loom colour standards.
-
Roll length: 100 metres — provides cost-effective coverage for moderate installations, service stock or smaller lots.
-
Material & performance: Polyolefin heat-shrink tubing provides strong electrical insulation, mechanical durability and a wide operating temperature range. For example, typical polyolefin tubing is rated for use from –55 °C to +135 °C.
-
Shrink behaviour: The tubing shrinks radially when heated (commonly 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1 shrink-ratios) to securely conform around the underlying substrate, insulating and protecting it.
-
Applications: Ideal for electrical wiring insulation, cable bundling, protecting splices and terminations in industrial, automotive, control-panel or general wiring harness applications where brown colour is required.
-
Installation guidance: Slide the tubing over the wire or splice before making the connection. After the connection is made, position the tubing to cover the joint and apply uniform heat (e.g., a hot-air gun) until the tubing fully contracts and conforms. Avoid direct open flame heating and ensure even heat application for best results.
