This will allow the heat shrink tubing to come to room temperature while assisting in full recovery of the tubing.

Follow the guidelines for recommended recovery.

If there is not-uniform heating of the tubing, you may see wrinkles, which can be called chill marks. The wrap melts when tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface. Apply it like tape around wire and cable, then slide the tubing over the wrap.

When using a heat gun to shrink the tubing, make sure to heat the tubing uniformly. Use this wrap with heat-shrink tubing to create a moisture-resistant seal.

You may run into problems if the tubing is not heated high enough (it may not fully recover) or if heated too high, the tubing could split or possibly show burn marks.

Don’t forget to verify the temperature guidelines before heating the tubing.

If you are trying to insulate material that is jagged or has a sharp edge, watch that it does not cause a cut or puncture to the tubing which could result in splitting or cracking during the installation process.

Watch out for jagged or sharp edges that you are covering.

The tubing can shrink more than the recovered ID specified, but will always meet the maximum specified dimension.

Not all heat shrink tubing is alike! Heat shrink tubing does not always shrink to the same fully-recovered dimensions while shrinking.Ĭheck the dimension specifications for the recovered internal diameter of the heat shrink tubing before heating.

Heat shrink tubing is supplied at a minimum expanded diameter and will remain consistent.

Use the specified expanded ID dimension to determine the correct size tubing.

was started in 1992 with its goal since day one being to provide customers with the advantage of having one supplier for all your premium shrink wrap and installation accessories. You will see more longitudinal change the more the heat shrink tubing is heated. Shrink has grown from a small operation in Northern Michigan to a global shrink wrap giant.

If cutting into pieces, don’t forget to factor in longitudinal change before cutting the pieces.ĭon’t forget to factor in longitudinal shrink (especially for smaller pieces), the tubing will shrink back or change length during the recovered state.

Sometimes when heating, the heat shrink tubing may tear during recovering if it is not the correct size before heating. Capabilities: - Up to 19 mm tubing diameter. Semi-automatic unit designed to seal products for wire bundles, splice terminals and ring terminals.

Try not to force the tubing over an object by stretching or pulling it. TE Heat Shrink Processing Machine Lineup.

You want a secure and tight fit of the heat shrink tubing, make sure the tubing after shrinking is smaller than the diameter of the object you are insulating or splicing.

Select the proper size of heat shrink tubing for your application.

Even though it’s a commonly used product, there are still some things that you will need to remember when choosing and installing heat shrink tubing to get the best coverage.
