Why Choose the Partex HS232BLUE 2:1 Blue Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS232BLUE is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed to provide electrical insulation, cable identification and mechanical protection for wires and electrical connections. Supplied in blue, this heat shrink sleeving is suitable for professional electrical installations, control panel assembly, cable harness manufacturing and industrial maintenance applications.
Manufactured as part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, HS232BLUE provides a practical solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When heated appropriately, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, producing a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and everyday handling damage.
With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 3.2 mm, a fully recovered diameter of approximately 1.6 mm and a 2:1 shrink ratio, HS232BLUE is particularly suited to small electrical wires, cable joints and compact electrical connections. Supplied in a 150 m pack, it offers a convenient solution for repetitive wiring operations, electrical assembly and industrial production environments.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Protection for Electrical Installations
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable joints and terminations. The Partex HS232BLUE uses heat-activated contraction to form a close-fitting sleeve around suitable wiring, helping to improve cable organisation and reduce exposure to abrasion during normal service.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract from its nominal 3.2 mm supplied diameter towards a 1.6 mm fully recovered diameter. Its blue colour can assist with cable identification in electrical panels and wiring harnesses, while the generous 150 m supply is convenient for repeated cutting and installation. Select the tubing diameter to suit the finished cable assembly, apply heat evenly using an appropriate heat gun and allow the sleeve to cool before handling.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
