Why Choose the Partex HS21016CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS21016CLEAR is a high-quality 2:1 clear heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and professional cable management in industrial, electrical and automation applications. This transparent heat-shrinkable sleeving provides a practical protective covering for cables, connectors and electrical components while allowing the underlying surfaces, labels and identification markings to remain visible.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the HS21016CLEAR has a nominal supplied internal diameter of 101.6 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 50.8 mm. When heated using suitable equipment, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, providing a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its large diameter makes it particularly useful for covering substantial cable bundles, wiring harnesses and electrical assemblies.
Supplied in a convenient 15 m pack, the Partex HS21016CLEAR is ideal for electrical contractors, control panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial manufacturers requiring reliable protective sleeving. The clear finish allows existing cable markings, identification labels and component details to remain visible, making it particularly useful for applications where inspection and identification are important.

Reliable Cable Protection with Clear Identification
The Partex HS21016CLEAR heat shrink tubing provides an effective method of protecting electrical cables, wire connections, cable harnesses and electrical components. When heated using suitable equipment, the tubing contracts around the underlying assembly, creating a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and mechanical damage.
Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it particularly useful for covering larger electrical components and cable assemblies where a substantial reduction in sleeve diameter is required. The tubing can be cut to the desired length before installation, allowing engineers and installers to produce neat, consistent protective coverings without complicated fitting procedures.
The transparent finish is especially beneficial in industrial control cabinets, electrical installations and cable identification systems where existing markings must remain visible. It can also help protect printed labels and identification sleeves against handling and abrasion without concealing the information beneath. This general-purpose tubing should not be assumed to provide a waterproof seal unless the installation includes an appropriate sealing system.
Typical Applications
