Why Choose the Partex HS216BLACK 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS216BLACK is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and professional cable management applications. Featuring a black finish and heat-activated shrinking properties, this tubing provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting electrical conductors in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS216BLACK is designed to contract when heated, forming a close-fitting sleeve around compatible wires, cables and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its original internal diameter, providing flexibility when selecting insulation and protective sleeves for different conductor sizes.
With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 1.6 mm and a recovered internal diameter of approximately 0.8 mm, the HS216BLACK is particularly suitable for small electrical conductors, fine wiring and compact cable assemblies. Supplied in a convenient 150 m pack, it is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial production environments.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
The Partex HS216BLACK provides an effective method of insulating and protecting small electrical conductors and wiring assemblies. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect the underlying surface against incidental abrasion and contact.
The 2:1 shrink ratio offers flexibility when working with different conductor diameters, while the black finish provides a tidy appearance in electrical control panels, cable harnesses and industrial equipment. The 150 m pack is particularly useful for repetitive cable preparation, electrical manufacturing and maintenance applications where tubing is cut to individual lengths as required.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and conductor protection.
- Protection of small electrical cables and wiring assemblies.
- Electrical control panel assembly and cable preparation.
- Cable harness manufacturing and wire loom organisation.
- Insulation of compatible electrical joints and connections.
- Industrial machinery and automation wiring.
- Electronics assembly and low-voltage electrical installations.
- Electrical equipment servicing and maintenance.
- Professional finishing of cable assemblies and wiring terminations.
