Why Choose the Partex HSMB64WHITE 2:1 White Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB64WHITE is a professional white 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and colour-coded identification of electrical conductors. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 6.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 3.2 mm, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective covering around appropriately sized wires, cables and electrical components.
Designed for professional electrical installation, industrial automation and cable management applications, Partex heat shrink tubing is suitable for control panels, machinery wiring, electronic equipment and electrical assemblies. Its distinctive white finish supports visual identification and organised wiring, making it useful where designated conductors or cable groups need to be distinguished within an electrical installation.
Supplied in a convenient 12 m pack, the HSMB64WHITE provides material for repeated cable insulation, wiring repairs and electrical assembly tasks. Its 6.4/3.2 mm nominal dimensions make it particularly useful for small-diameter cables, individual conductors and electrical connections where a neat, professional finish and clear colour identification are required.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter.
- 6.4 mm supplied diameter accommodates appropriately sized conductors and electrical connections.
- 3.2 mm nominal recovered diameter provides a close-fitting covering around compatible wires.

Colour-Coded Cable Protection for Industrial Control and Automation Systems
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical wiring by contracting around a conductor or component when controlled heat is applied. The Partex HSMB64WHITE features a nominal 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing its diameter to reduce from approximately 6.4 mm to 3.2 mm when fully recovered. This makes it useful for small cable connections, conductor coverings and wiring assemblies where a close-fitting protective sleeve is required.
In industrial automation and electrical control systems, white heat shrink tubing can help identify designated conductors, organise wire harnesses and provide a tidy finish to completed electrical assemblies. Its white surface may also provide a contrasting background for suitable printed identification markings, subject to compatibility with the chosen marking method. Installers should ensure that the tubing passes over the largest part of the connection before shrinking and recovers sufficiently around the smallest section. Applications requiring a specified voltage rating, operating temperature, flame classification or environmental sealing should be checked against the applicable Partex technical documentation.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and conductor protection.
