Heat Shrink Tube
At LucasLED you can find protective and organisational products used in a variety of electrical areas – heat shrink tubes (also called ‘’electrical shrink tubing’’).
The material from which they are made is modified cross-linked polyethylene – the most popular material due to its thermal resistance. Despite being more expensive than PVC, it can withstand temperatures as high as 125-135 °C. Undoubtedly, this quality makes it perfect for manufacturing, industrial and mechanical applications with high operating temperatures.
Generally, heat shrink tubes are commonly used in most electrical installations. Their main task is to insulate electric components and protect them from external factors such as dust, abrasion, as well as sharp objects that could destroy wires and electrical components. When it comes to the colours, they are commonly in black, but some coloured versions are also available.
Heat shrink tubes are used by both professionals and amateurs solving many mundane problems at home. Apart from that they are of great use to those in technical professions. Therefore, they should be a must-have in your tool bag!
What benefits do they provide us with? Of course many, but the most significant is the protection, defence against water, chemicals, and many others. Additionally, they provide thermal and electrical insulation, enhance structural support on wires, connectors, components and a smoother texture and finished appearance is guaranteed.
