Why Choose the Partex HSMB95CLEAR Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB95CLEAR is a practical clear 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for protective cable sleeving, wire insulation and the protection of identification markings in electrical installations. Supplied in an 8 m pack, this transparent heat shrink tubing is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders, maintenance engineers and cable assembly specialists.
Featuring a nominal supplied internal diameter of 9.5 mm and a nominal recovered internal diameter of 4.7 mm, the tubing contracts when suitable heat is applied to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible cables, conductors and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows substantial diameter reduction, making it useful for electrical insulation, cable protection and wiring assembly applications.
The clear finish offers an important advantage where underlying cable colours, identification labels or markings need to remain visible after installation. As part of the Partex HSMB heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB95CLEAR provides a convenient solution for protecting compatible wiring while retaining visual access to the underlying identification.
Key Advantages

Transparent Cable Protection and Visible Wire Identification
Clear heat shrink tubing offers a convenient method of protecting electrical cables and identification markings without completely concealing the underlying surface. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component to form a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion, handling damage and general mechanical wear.
The Partex HSMB95CLEAR features a 9.5 mm nominal supplied internal diameter and a 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing recovery towards a nominal internal diameter of 4.7 mm. This makes it suitable for compatible cables, wiring assemblies and identification sleeves where a protective covering is required.
The transparent finish is particularly useful for protecting printed cable markers, identification labels and existing conductor markings while keeping them visible. Select tubing that passes over the largest section of the cable or connection before shrinking and can contract securely around the intended surface. The tubing should not be assumed to provide a waterproof seal or a particular electrical rating unless those properties are separately confirmed.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and protective sleeving.
- Protection of printed wire identification labels and cable markers.
- Transparent covering for existing cable identification markings.
- Industrial electrical wiring and cable assemblies.
- Electrical control panels and automation equipment.
- Wiring harnesses and machinery electrical assemblies.
- Electrical maintenance, workshop repairs and cable preparation.
- General cable management where underlying markings need to remain visible.
