What's special about this flame retardant heat shrink tubing?

  • 3 to 1 heat shrink ratio allows it to fit over the end of a large connector, but will still shrink down enough to seal to the cable.
  • Available in several colors, making it easy to match your wiring scheme or color-code cables and connectors.
  • Can be purchased small packages or in bulk spools, so you get as much as you need.

Our 3:1 heat shrink tubing is an effective way to insulate cables, provide extra strain relief, or professionally finish the ends of wire harnesses. The over-expanded tube slides easily over bulky connectors, and then shrinks down to 33% of its original diameter to fit snugly around both connectors and the wires attached to them. For an extra tight bond, choose adhesive heat shrink, which efficiently and attractively terminates cable snakes, and prevents fraying along the cut edges of expandable braided sleeving. Great for DIY home projects, automotive applications, and much more!

  • High shrink ratio helps to seal and protect awkwardly-shaped objects with varying diameters.
  • Flame retardant and heat resistant to protect cables against damage from high temperatures.
  • Less than 10% shrinkage in the axial (lengthwise) direction, so you can better estimate the length of material you will need.
  • Passes UL VW-1, CSA OFT, -F- MARK for safety specifications
  • 3:1 Heat Shrink is ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliant

    Adhesive Lined Tubing

    The adhesive version of our 3:1 heat shrink features "dual-wall" design, which is made up of an outer polyolefin (heat shrink) tube lined with a interior coating of heat-activated adhesive. During application, as the outer tubing shrinks, the inner layer melts, flows, and then resets when cooled, helping the tubing to achieve a snug, moisture-resistant fit around wire harnesses, cables and connectors. We recommend it for applications that require strain relief, watertight seals, or wire color-coding (for example, to help identify positive and negative battery connections).

    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.


    MATERIAL ALTERNATE NAME LOI CATEGORY
    ECTFE (Ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene) Halar 64% Self Extinguishing
    Nomex N/A 28% Slow Burning
    Nylon 6:6 N/A Ranges fron 24-29% Slow Burning to Self Extinguishing
    PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Mylar (film), Dacron (fiber) Ranges from 21-34% Slow Burning to Self Extinguishing
    Polyethylene (PE) N/A 17% Flammable
    Polypropylene (PP) polythene (in the UK) 17% Flammable
    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Teflon 95% Self Extinguishing
    Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) N/A Ranges from 45-49% Self Extinguishing
