Why Choose the Partex HS264GREEN 2:1 Green Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS264GREEN is a versatile 2:1 green heat shrink tubing designed to provide electrical insulation, cable identification and mechanical protection for wires and electrical connections. Supplied in green, this heat shrink sleeving is suitable for professional electrical installations, control panel assembly, cable harness manufacturing and industrial maintenance applications.
Manufactured as part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, HS264GREEN provides a practical solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When heated appropriately, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, producing a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and everyday handling damage. Its green finish also supports visual identification of wiring and cable assemblies where this colour is appropriate for the installation.
With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 6.4 mm, a fully recovered diameter of approximately 3.2 mm and a 2:1 shrink ratio, HS264GREEN is suitable for appropriately sized electrical wires, cable joints, conductor bundles and electrical connections. Supplied in a 75 m pack, it offers a convenient solution for repetitive wiring operations, electrical assembly and industrial production environments.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Protection for Electrical Installations
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable joints and terminations. The Partex HS264GREEN uses heat-activated contraction to form a close-fitting sleeve around suitable wiring, helping to improve cable organisation and reduce exposure to abrasion during normal service. Its nominal 6.4 mm supplied diameter makes it useful for cable assemblies requiring a larger initial opening than smaller heat shrink tubing sizes.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract from its nominal 6.4 mm supplied diameter towards a 3.2 mm fully recovered diameter. This provides flexibility when covering conductors and components with modest variations in diameter. The green colour can assist with cable identification in electrical panels and wiring harnesses, although colour selection must follow the applicable conductor identification requirements. In UK and European electrical installations, protective conductor identification normally requires the green/yellow combination rather than plain green.
The 75 m pack is convenient for repeated cutting and installation in electrical workshops, control panel production and industrial maintenance environments. For reliable results, select tubing that can pass over the cable or connection before shrinking and recover sufficiently to grip the finished assembly. Apply heat evenly using an appropriate heat gun and allow the sleeve to cool before handling. Where environmental sealing is required, select a suitable sealing or adhesive-lined product rather than assuming standard heat shrink tubing provides a watertight joint.
