Why Choose the Partex HSMB48GREEN 2:1 Green Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB48GREEN is a professional green 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and colour-coded identification of electrical conductors. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective covering around appropriately sized wires, cables and electrical components.
Designed for professional electrical installation, industrial automation and cable management applications, Partex heat shrink tubing is suitable for control panels, machinery wiring, electronic equipment and electrical assemblies. Its distinctive green finish supports visual identification and organised wiring, making it useful where designated conductors or cable groups need to be distinguished within an electrical installation.
Supplied in a convenient 12 m pack, the HSMB48GREEN provides material for repeated cable insulation, wiring repairs and electrical assembly tasks. Its 4.8/2.4 mm nominal dimensions make it particularly useful for small-diameter cables, individual conductors and electrical connections where a neat, professional finish and clear colour identification are required.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter.
- 4.8 mm supplied diameter accommodates appropriately sized conductors and electrical connections.
- 2.4 mm nominal recovered diameter provides a close-fitting covering around compatible wires.
- Green colour supports visual identification and colour-coded cable management.
- 12 m pack length provides material for multiple electrical installation and maintenance tasks.
- Helps protect electrical wiring against abrasion, handling and minor mechanical wear.
- Supports organised cable management and professional finishing of electrical connections.
- Heat-activated installation provides a close-fitting sleeve without additional fastening components.

Colour-Coded Cable Protection for Industrial Control and Automation Systems
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical wiring by contracting around a conductor or component when controlled heat is applied. The Partex HSMB48GREEN features a nominal 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing its diameter to reduce from approximately 4.8 mm to 2.4 mm when fully recovered. This makes it useful for small cable connections, conductor coverings and wiring assemblies where a close-fitting protective sleeve is required.
In industrial automation and electrical control systems, green heat shrink tubing can help identify designated conductors, organise wire harnesses and provide a tidy finish to completed electrical assemblies. The green colour is suitable for general identification where permitted by the applicable wiring standards, but green-only tubing must not replace green/yellow protective earth identification where that colour combination is required. Installers should ensure that the tubing passes over the largest part of the connection before shrinking and recovers sufficiently around the smallest section. Applications requiring a specified voltage rating, operating temperature, flame classification or environmental sealing should be checked against the applicable Partex technical documentation.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and conductor protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- Small cable joints and electrical connection coverings.
- Machinery wiring and industrial automation equipment.
- Green colour-coded identification of designated conductors where permitted.
- Wire harness assembly and cable organisation.
- Electronic equipment wiring and small cable assemblies.
- Electrical maintenance, cable repairs and professional wiring finishes.
