• Industrial and Commercial Industry
• Maintenance and Repair (MRO)
• Marine Industry
• Rail Industry

Features and Benefits

This heat shrinkable tubing is woven from polyethylene/ polyester materials which offer excellent abrasion resistance for rubber, plastic pipes and harness wiring bundles. The woven fabric offers flexibility and is easy to install onto irregular surfaces, as well as having the ability to provide water, heat and humidity resistance.

Features and Benefits

• Highly flexible heatshrink woven fabric tubing
• Polyolefin/Polyester construction for excellent abrasion resistance
• 125°C operating temperature (excellent abrasion resistance to 135°C)
• Heat shrinkable to grip substrates tightly without additional fixing
• Easy to install

What does a heat shrink ratio of 2:1 mean?
A ratio of 2:1 means when the tube is heated it shrinks to half of its original diameter

How can I shrink the tubing?
A heat gun or a heat shrink oven are ideal ways to shrink your tubing. Before heating always check to ensure you know the correct heating temperature of your tubing.

Remember to ensure all health and safety precautions have been taken prior to using a heating devise.
