Our natural and colored heat shrink tubing conforms to all major commercial and military specifications, including MIL-I-23053, Underwriters' Laboratory (UL) VW-1 flame test, and CSA. Where Is Heat Shrinkable Tubing Used?
Since we have such a diverse offering, our heat shrink tubing can be used for many different applications, and in various environments from -270°C to 260°C, in a wide variety of chemicals. Our colored heat shrink tubing is available in thin, medium or heavy wall configurations, with melt-and-flow adhesives, weatherproofing encapsulates, and more than 15 different colors, including Yellow/Green stripes for ground identification. Whether you want to purchase colored heat shrink tubing by the foot or in large economical bulk spools, we can accommodate your needs.
Types Of Heat Shrinkable Tubing The most common heat shrink tubing is sold in a 2:1 or 3:1 expanded form; with many other shrink ratios and adhesive linings readily available to suit your unique needs in military and commercial electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, rail/transit and many other industries, including your home. Whether your application is above or below ground, under water, or in space, we have the right heat shrink tube for you. Due to recent requests for Battery Heat Shrink, we have recently added red 3:1 Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tube for identification of positive charge on battery cables.
Custom cutting and printing services are also available.
