Why Choose the Partex ECHS224WHITE 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS224WHITE is a versatile and reliable 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed to provide electrical insulation, cable protection and professional wire identification in electrical installations and industrial automation systems. Supplied in a clean white finish, this heat shrink sleeve offers a practical solution for insulating and protecting electrical conductors, connections and cable assemblies.
Featuring an initial internal diameter of 2.4 mm and a fully recovered internal diameter of 1.2 mm, the ECHS224WHITE has a 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing the tubing to contract to approximately half its original diameter when heated under suitable conditions. This provides a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible wires and components, helping improve electrical insulation and cable organisation.
Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the Partex ECHS224WHITE is particularly suitable for electrical panel builders, wiring harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and production environments requiring consistent heat shrink tubing for repeated applications. Its white colour also supports visual cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, wire joints and cable assemblies. The Partex ECHS224WHITE 2:1 heat shrink tubing is designed to contract when suitable heat is applied, forming a close-fitting sleeve around appropriately sized cables and components. This helps provide an additional protective layer while supporting neat and organised electrical installations.
The 2.4/1.2 mm diameter configuration makes this tubing particularly useful for small electrical conductors, electronic wiring and compact cable assemblies. Its white finish enables visual identification of wiring groups and circuits where white is specified by the installation's identification scheme. For best results, select tubing that fits over the component before shrinking and can recover sufficiently to grip it after heating. Use a suitable controlled heat source and follow the manufacturer's installation guidance.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Electronic components and small-diameter conductor insulation.
- Wiring harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Colour-coded cable identification systems.
- Electrical connection and solder joint covering.
- Automation equipment and instrumentation wiring.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and production assembly.
