Why Choose the Partex HS264CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS264CLEAR is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and transparent wire sleeving in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a clear, transparent finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 6.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 3.2 mm, making it suitable for a range of electrical cables, conductors and wiring connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS264CLEAR provides a practical solution for protecting electrical wiring while maintaining visibility of underlying conductor colours, identification markings and cable labels. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps provide electrical insulation and a neat, professional finish.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the HS264CLEAR is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the 6.4 mm supplied diameter makes it suitable for electrical wiring applications requiring protective insulation without concealing underlying identification information.

Reliable Transparent Cable Insulation and Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable connections and wiring assemblies. The Partex HS264CLEAR contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing it to conform to compatible cable diameters and create a neat protective covering. Its 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter under appropriate heating conditions.
The transparent finish makes this tubing particularly useful where cable identification, conductor colours or printed markings must remain visible after installation. It can also be used as a protective sleeve over compatible identification labels, helping shield them from handling and abrasion. For reliable installation, select tubing that can pass over the component before shrinking and recover sufficiently to grip the underlying cable, following the manufacturer's recommended heating procedure.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and transparent protective sleeving.
- Control panel wiring and cable management.
- Industrial cable harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Protection of conductor identification labels and cable markings.
- Electrical equipment wiring and component sleeving.
- Electrical installation, maintenance and repair work.
