Why Choose the Partex HS216WHITE 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS216WHITE is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire identification in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a white finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 1.6 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 0.8 mm, making it suitable for small-diameter electrical conductors, wires and connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS216WHITE provides a practical solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying conductor or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps provide electrical insulation and a neat, professional finish. Its white colour also supports visual identification and organised cable management.
Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the HS216WHITE is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the compact tubing dimensions make it particularly suitable for small electrical wires used in control panels and equipment assemblies.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Wire Identification
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors and small cable connections. The Partex HS216WHITE contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing it to conform to compatible cable diameters and create a neat protective covering. Its 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter under appropriate heating conditions.
The white finish makes this tubing particularly useful for wiring installations where visual identification, cable organisation and a clean appearance are important. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for small electrical wires used in control panels, cable harnesses and equipment assemblies. For reliable installation, select the correct tubing diameter and follow the manufacturer's recommended heating procedure.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protective sleeving.
- Control panel wiring and conductor identification.
- Industrial cable harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Small-diameter cable protection and wire management.
- Colour-coded electrical wiring and identification systems.
- Electrical equipment maintenance and repair work.
