Why Choose the Partex HSMB12WHITE 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB12WHITE is a compact 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, fine-wire protection and conductor sleeving in industrial, commercial and general electrical applications. Featuring a clean white finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 1.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 0.6 mm, making it particularly suitable for appropriately sized miniature electrical wires, fine conductors and compact wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB12WHITE provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting small-diameter electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying conductor or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the white colour supports neat cable organisation and visual identification within appropriately designed wiring systems.
Supplied in a convenient 20 m pack, the Partex HSMB12WHITE is suitable for electrical panel builders, electronics technicians, cable harness manufacturers and maintenance engineers. Its 1.2/0.6 mm diameter specification makes it particularly useful for precision sleeving applications where compact dimensions, protective insulation and organised wiring are important.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio: Allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original nominal diameter when fully recovered.
- 1.2 mm supplied diameter: Suitable for installation over appropriately sized miniature wires and fine electrical conductors.
- 0.6 mm recovered diameter: Provides close-fitting protective sleeving around compatible small-diameter wiring.
- White colour: Provides a clean, professional appearance and supports visual wire identification.
- 20 m pack length: Offers a practical quantity for electrical assembly, production and maintenance applications.
- Compact protective insulation: Supports the insulation and protection of suitable fine-wire assemblies.

Reliable Fine-Wire Insulation and Protective Sleeving
The Partex HSMB12WHITE provides a convenient method of applying protective heat shrink tubing to miniature electrical conductors and compact wiring assemblies. The tubing is positioned over the required section of wire before suitable heat is applied. As it contracts, the tubing conforms to the underlying conductor insulation or component, creating a close-fitting protective covering.
With a 1.2 mm supplied diameter and a 0.6 mm nominal recovered diameter, the HSMB12WHITE is particularly suited to applications involving fine electrical wires where larger heat shrink tubing would be unsuitable. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to accommodate compatible conductor dimensions while providing a neat and compact finished sleeve.
The white finish supports visual differentiation of wiring within appropriately designed cable identification systems. For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the wire or component and a recovered diameter small enough to provide a secure fit. Apply heat evenly using suitable equipment, follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and confirm that the tubing meets the electrical and environmental requirements of the application.
