What is shrinkable tube?

Shrinkable tube is a cylindrical piece of material that can be easily shrunk in size by applying heat to it. It is made from various types of polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyolefin, and fluoropolymer. The tube comes in various sizes, lengths, and colors depending on the intended use.

Shrinkable tubing is used in a variety of industries, including electrical, automotive, and aerospace. It is used to insulate and protect wires and cables, provide strain relief, and create a watertight seal. The tube can also be used for labeling and marking cables and wires.

The shrinking process typically requires a heat source, such as a heat gun or oven, to apply heat evenly to the tube. The tube then contracts in size, conforming to the shape and contours of the object it is covering. Shrinkable tubing is not only easy to use and install, but also provides a durable and lasting protection to the vulnerable areas of wires and cables.
