Why Choose the Partex HSMB64RED Red Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB64RED is a versatile 2:1 red heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire identification in industrial, commercial and electrical installation applications. Featuring a nominal diameter of 6.4 mm before shrinking and 3.2 mm after shrinking, this heat shrink sleeve provides a neat, close-fitting solution for protecting cables, conductors and electrical connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB64RED offers a practical solution for cable management and electrical wiring protection. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, helping protect against abrasion, mechanical wear and everyday handling. Its distinctive red colour also supports colour-coded cable identification, making it particularly useful for wiring systems where clear visual identification is important.
Supplied in a convenient 12 m pack, the Partex HSMB64RED is ideal for electricians, electrical panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial automation professionals. Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it suitable for a wide range of cable insulation, connection protection and electrical assembly tasks.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Electrical Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HSMB64RED provides a convenient method of insulating electrical conductors, covering wire joints and protecting cable assemblies. By applying controlled heat, the tubing contracts around the cable or connection, forming a close-fitting sleeve that helps improve wiring organisation and reduce exposure to everyday mechanical wear.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce from its nominal 6.4 mm supplied diameter to approximately 3.2 mm when fully recovered. For effective installation, the tubing should be large enough to pass over the widest section of the connection before heating and capable of shrinking securely around the smallest section. Its red colour makes it particularly useful for identifying selected conductors, marking positive DC connections where applicable and maintaining organised electrical wiring systems.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and conductor protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and electrical cabinet assemblies.
- Red colour-coded cable identification and wiring organisation.
- Positive DC conductor identification where red is specified by the applicable wiring convention.
- Protection of soldered wire joints and compatible electrical terminals.
- Industrial automation equipment and machinery wiring.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and cable assembly work.
- Low-voltage electrical installations where the tubing's insulation rating is suitable.
