Frequently Asked Questions about Heat Shrink Tubing:

Are there special variants of heat shrink tubing available, such as flame-retardant, waterproof, or high-voltage heat shrink tubing?2024-11-04T14:09:47+01:00

Yes, there are special variants of heat shrink tubing available for specific applications. Flame-retardant heat shrink tubing is designed to resist the spread of flames. Waterproof heat shrink tubing provides protection against moisture and water ingress. High-voltage heat shrink tubing is suitable for applications with high voltages.

What factors should be considered when selecting the right heat shrink tubing for a specific application?2024-11-04T14:10:53+01:00

When selecting the right heat shrink tubing, factors such as the application, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, chemical exposure), the size of the wire or cable, and the desired properties (insulation, protection, flame retardancy) should be considered. It is also important to take into account the relevant standards and regulations that apply.

How is heat shrink tubing applied, and what methods are used to activate the shrinking?2024-11-04T14:12:20+01:00

Heat shrink tubing is typically applied by sliding it over the wire or cable to be protected and then heating it. This can be done using a heat gun, an oven, or a specialized heat shrink machine. The heat activates the shrinking mechanism of the tubing, causing it to shrink tightly around the wire or cable.

What materials are used in the production of heat shrink tubing and what are their properties?2025-07-02T15:05:19+02:00

Various materials are used in the production of heat shrink tubing, such as polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene or polypropylene), fluoropolymers, elastomers, and PVC. These materials have different properties, such as insulation, flexibility, chemical resistance, and heat resistance.

What is heat shrink tubing?2025-07-02T15:05:16+02:00

Heat shrink tubing is a flexible material that shrinks when heated. It is typically made from a polymer, such as polyolefin, which undergoes controlled shrinkage when exposed to heat. This allows it to encase and protect wires, cables, or other components.

Our Brands in Heat Shrink Tubing

At the establishment of Idétrading Electronics, we started with our very first brand and product line: Raychem – the inventor of heat shrink tubing.

Raychem, now part of TE Connectivity, manufactures products primarily based on plastics with special properties: heat shrinkable shapes, connectors, specialty wire and cable, and more. In addition to our main brand, we also offer products from Panduit and our own private label products.
