Hilltop Products Ltd Heat Shrink Tubing Kit - 50 Clear Tube Sleeving pack

Product Information

For thin wall tubing with a shrink ratio of 2:1 (standard tubing) the diameter is usually in inch sizes 25.4 mm equals 1 inch. Strain relief:By shrinking around the wires or cables, it helps relieve stress on the connection points and prevents the wires from bending or breaking.

RMSare heat shrinkable wrap-around sleeves used in cable repair and splicing applications.The wrap around sleeves are a fast, labour saving and permanent cable repair and sealing system. The sleeve is simply wrapped around the cable and held in place using a rail and channel closure.

Heat shrink tubing should shrink by at least 20% and not more than 80% of the supplied diameter to achieve the optimal result. Dual-Wall Heat Shrink Tubing: Dual-wall tubing consists of an inner layer of adhesive and an outer layer of heat-shrinkable material. When heated, the tubing shrinks, and the inner adhesive layer melts and creates a moisture-resistant seal.

Electrical insulation:It creates a protective barrier around wires, preventing short circuits and electrical hazards. Fluoropolymer (e.g., Teflon):Fluoropolymer heat shrink tubing offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and solvents. Note 2:Heat shrink tubing will also shrink longitudinally. This has to be considered when cutting the tubing.The sleeve provides excellent corrosion protection,abrasion and weather resistance making it also ideal for LV cable joint outer protection. The high shrink ratio limits the number of sizes to only 6. Each size covers a range of cable sizes. RMS is available in various standard lengths. Other lengths available on factory request. Note 6:When choosing the tubing size it is important to consider the 80%/20% rule. This means the tubing size should be chosen to allow minimum shrinkage of 20% and a maximum of 80%. Discover a complete application overview in our product catalogue. The operating temperature varies per tubing type. This is dependent of the compound used for the tubing type Heat Shrink Connectors https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/wire-terminals-splices/splice-connectors/

heat shrink tubing is a type of plastic tubing that shrinks when heated, hence the name "heat shrink." It is commonly used for electrical insulation, protection, and bundling of wires, cables, and other components. The tubing is typically made from materials like polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or fluoropolymers. It is available in various sizes and colours to accommodate different applications. When heat is applied to the tubing, either through a heat gun or an oven, it undergoes a shrinking process. The tubing's diameter reduces, and it conforms tightly to the shape of the object it is covering. This provides an effective barrier against moisture, dust, chemicals, and physical damage. What are the benefits of heat shrink Tubing? HellermannTyton provides workers and decision-makers involved in manufacturing with a solution fit to their specific needs, which is tailor-made for their specialist area or, to put it another way, every piece of HellermannTyton heat shrink tubing makes problems shrink, even before they arise. Note 4:If the object to be covered is metal or heat conductive care must be taken to ensure the object is pre-heated to avoid “cold spots” or “chill marks” so to ensure a tight and smooth fitting of the tubing. The shrink ratio indicates the rate, the product shrinks (supplied diameter in relation to recovered diameter). The shrink ratio varies from 2:1 to 6:1. The higher the shrink ratio, the more varying diameters of the object can be covered. Thus, fewer sizes of heat shrink tubings are needed.Environmental protection:The tubing provides resistance to moisture, chemicals, abrasion, and UV radiation. In our application overview for heat shrink tubings you will find the recommended heat shrink tubing size for every cable diameter. From adhesive lined heat shrink tubing to transparent heat shrink tubing which allows the identifying elements to remain visible on cables to be insulated, HellermannTyton offers a comprehensive range of heat shrink tubing products that meets the highest international standards. Polyolefin (PO):Polyolefin tubing is the most widely used and versatile type of heat shrink tubing. This means HellermannTyton sets the pace with each new piece of heatshrinkable tubing when it comes to providing protection against mechanical, environmental, chemical or electrical effects.
