What's special about this heat shrink tubing ?
This high flowing adhesive heat shrink tubing is ideal for joining multiple wires or cables. The very active hot melt adhesive flows between wires and cables to create a weatherproof seal that is highly puncture resistant and provides a superior strain relief. |
- Shrinks 4:1 ratio so it can be used on multiple cables and provide a tight seal
- Color coded dashes on clear tubing for easy identification
- Strong adhesive and polyolefin tubing combined create a puncture resistant
- Operating temperature from -55°C to 110°C (67°F to 230°F)
- Ideal for use on:
- Joining multiple wires
- Identifying wire gauge
- Color coding wires or wire combinations
- Waterproofing permanent connections
- Creating sealed splices

Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI)
The ratio of how much oxygen - as compared to other gases - needs to be present in the air surrounding a particular material in order for that material to burn. The fact that Earth's normal atmospheric air contains around 21% oxygen is used a reference point when materials are classified into burn categories that are based on Limiting Oxygen Index. Substances that are combustible in air containing less than 21% oxygen are considered flammable, while those that burn in the range of anything greater than 21% but less than 28% are typically labeled "slow burning". Any material with an LOI that exceeds 28% is classified as self-extinguishing.
In the table below, you'll find a list of polymers commonly found in our heat shrink tubing and braided sleeving products, along with their LOIs and the burn categories each falls into.
