Why Choose the Partex HSMB32CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB32CLEAR is a versatile and reliable clear heat shrink tubing designed to provide electrical insulation, cable protection and a neat, professional finish to wiring installations. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing contracts to approximately half its original diameter when heated, allowing it to fit securely around cables, wires and electrical connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, HSMB32CLEAR is suitable for cable identification, wire insulation, conductor protection and general electrical assembly work. Its transparent finish allows underlying cable colours, identification markings and labels to remain visible, making it particularly useful where visual inspection and identification are important.
With a supplied internal diameter of 3.2 mm, a recovered diameter of approximately 1.6 mm and a 15 m pack length, this clear heat shrink tubing offers a practical solution for electrical contractors, panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial automation specialists. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for smaller wires, cable identification sleeves and low-voltage wiring assemblies.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a secure fit around suitably sized wires and cable components.
- 3.2 mm supplied diameter reduces to approximately 1.6 mm after full recovery.
- Clear, transparent finish allows cable markings, identification labels and conductor colours to remain visible.
- Provides an additional layer of electrical insulation and mechanical protection when correctly selected and installed.
- 15 m pack length allows tubing to be cut to suit individual installation requirements.
- Suitable for professional cable management, wiring assemblies and electrical panel installations.
- Helps produce tidy, organised and easily identifiable cable connections.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Identification Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of protecting and organising electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect against abrasion, handling damage and accidental contact with insulated connections. The Partex HSMB32CLEAR uses a 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing its nominal internal diameter to reduce from 3.2 mm to 1.6 mm when fully recovered.
The clear finish is especially advantageous for applications where identification markings must remain visible. It can be positioned over compatible cable markers, printed identification sleeves or small wiring assemblies to provide an additional protective covering without obscuring the information beneath. For reliable results, the tubing should be selected according to the dimensions of the cable or component and installed using appropriate controlled heating equipment.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and protection.
- Protection of cable identification markers and printed labels.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Low-voltage electrical wiring assemblies.
- Small conductor and wire joint insulation.
- Automation equipment and control system installations.
- Electrical equipment maintenance and repairs.
- OEM cable harnesses and wiring assemblies.
- Protective sleeving where underlying markings must remain visible.
- General electrical installation and workshop applications.
