Advantages of heat shrink tube

2023-04-18
Heat shrink tube is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires and provide abrasion resistance and environmental protection for twisted and solid wires, connections, joints and terminals in wires. It can also be used to repair insulation on wires or tie them together to protect wires or small parts from minor wear and tear and to form cable inlet seals that provide environmental seal protection. Heat shrink tubes, usually made of polyolefin, shrink radially (but not longitudinally) to between one-half and one-sixth of their diameter when heated.

Heat shrink tubes are manufactured in a variety of varieties and chemical compositions, with the exact composition of each type depending on the intended application. From nearly microscopic thin-walled tubes to rigid thick-walled tubes, each type has precise designs and chemical additives that make it suitable to meet any of a variety of environmental requirements. The heat shrinkable tube is evaluated by its expansion rate, which is a comparison of the difference in expansion rate and recovery rate.

The key advantages of Heat shrinkable tube are:

1. Protect electric wires and cables

The main benefit of heat shrink tubes is to provide protection for cables and wires. Protect cable from wear and tear of moving devices and areas. In addition, protect cables and wires from the environment, including liquids such as oil, water and acids, and atmospheric factors such as humidity and temperature.

2. Reliability

Heat shrink tubes come in many different sizes to accommodate various construction requirements, ensuring a perfect fit to cables and wires. The heat shrink tube outperforms the basic insulation product, and due to the tight fit it provides, the heat shrink tube is also more reliable and does not fall off over time compared to other insulation solutions.
