What is Heat Shrink Tubing?
Heat shrinking means: The process of applying heat, for example using an electric or gas heat gun, to shrink expanded plastic tubing or shapes down to its original size. A distinction is made in this respect between recovered dimension (original size) and supplied dimension (expanded size). Heat shrinking is used in various industries and electrical applications – for instance to insulate and protect cables against heat, abrasion, chemicals or water. Watch this video with our heat shrink experts Barry and Mark to see how easy heat shrink tubing is to handle.
Heat Shrink Tubing for your Application
Not sure if our heat shrink product fits your specific application? Enter the known dimensions in the HellermannTyton online heat shrink calculator. It will check the size. We recommend that the heat shrink tubing should shrink by at least 20 % and not more than 80 % of the supplied dimension.
When heatshrink tube shrinks, the diameter as well as the wall thickness will change. Our wall thickness calculator gives you an indication of the theoretical wall thickness for a given diameter.
