Why Choose the Partex HS232CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS232CLEAR is a versatile clear heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and professional cable management. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing reduces from a nominal internal diameter of 3.2 mm to 1.6 mm when correctly heated, providing a close-fitting protective sleeve around suitable wires, cables and components.
Manufactured by Partex, a recognised supplier of cable identification and electrical installation products, this transparent heat shrink tubing provides a practical solution for protecting electrical connections while maintaining visibility of the components or identification markings beneath. Its clear finish is particularly useful where cable labels, printed markers or colour-coded conductors need to remain visible.
Supplied in a 150 m pack, the HS232CLEAR is well suited to electrical contractors, control panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial manufacturers requiring a convenient bulk supply of heat shrink sleeving. Its compact nominal diameter makes it suitable for small cables, individual conductors and electrical connections in a wide range of installation and maintenance applications.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Identification
Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical and industrial installations to provide a protective sleeve around cables, wires and electrical connections. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying component, creating a neat, close-fitting covering that helps protect against abrasion and provides additional insulation where appropriate.
The Partex HS232CLEAR combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a transparent finish, making it particularly useful for applications where cable identification must remain visible. The tubing can be installed over compatible printed cable markers, identification sleeves or colour-coded wiring without unnecessarily obscuring the information beneath.
For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the component and a recovered diameter suitable for the intended fit. Apply controlled heat evenly using an appropriate heat gun, following the manufacturer's installation guidance and avoiding excessive heating of the tubing or underlying cable insulation.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire and cable insulation.
- Protection of small electrical connections and conductors.
- Transparent covering for cable identification markers.
- Control panel wiring and industrial automation installations.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and assembly.
- Wire harness assembly and cable management.
- Maintenance and repair of electrical wiring.
- Protective sleeving for suitable electronic components and connections.
