Partex heat shrink tubing is manufactured from cross linked polyolefin material providing excellent insulation and mechanical protection
It typically has a shrink ratio of 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 allowing it to fit a wide range of cable diameters
Operating temperature range is usually from minus 55 up to 125 degrees Celsius with higher ratings available for special grades
Shrink temperature is around 90 to 120 degrees Celsius ensuring quick and uniform shrinking during installation
It offers high dielectric strength for reliable electrical insulation in low and medium voltage applications
The material is flame retardant with a common rating of UL224 VW 1 ensuring safety in electrical environments
Heat shrink tubing is resistant to chemicals oils moisture and abrasion which increases durability in harsh conditions
Available in different colors for identification and phase marking of cables
Adhesive lined versions provide additional sealing against water and environmental contaminants
Products typically comply with international standards such as UL RoHS and IEC ensuring quality safety and environmental compliance
