About Heat Shrink Tubing

Heat shrink tubing conforms to the size and shape of wires, connections, open coils, and other electrically conductive elements to insulate and protect them from adverse environmental conditions.  Heat-shrinkable products can be found in all major markets, such as the automotive industries, electronics industries, power stations, cable and wire industries, appliances, audio and video, power distribution, shipbuilding, communications and telecommunications, off-shore industry, spacecraft, military industry, aviation industry, do-it-yourself stores, medical industries, rail and rapid transit, building and construction and many other markets.  Typical applications for heat shrink tubing can be found in the field of insulating, terminating, splicing, cable bundling, color coding, strain relief, wire marking, mechanical protection, environmental protection, corrosion protection and moisture sealing.  Heat shrink tubing can be used instead of standard approaches to insulation, such as taping or molding in place.  The tubing often comes in a wide range of sizes, colors, and materials. When heated, it shrinks to conform to the size and shape of the underlying material.
