Reliable Cable Insulation and Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems

Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical engineering to provide insulation, protect conductors and improve the organisation of cable assemblies. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and everyday handling damage.

The Partex HSMB127GREY is designed for applications where grey cable identification and reliable heat shrink protection are required. Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it suitable for a range of appropriately sized conductors and cable assemblies, while the convenient 8 m pack allows electrical engineers and installers to cut the tubing to the required length for each installation.

Typical Applications

  • Electrical cable insulation and wire protection.
  • Control panel wiring and electrical cabinet assembly.
  • Industrial machinery and automation wiring.
  • Cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.
  • Protection of compatible cable joints and electrical terminations.
  • Electrical maintenance, servicing and repair applications.
  • OEM equipment manufacturing and cable harness assembly.
