About Heat Shrink Tubing and The Heat Shrink Tubing Temperature Guide
Heat shrink tubing can be used to provide a layer of insulation, environmental protection, or abrasion resistance to cables, wires, or other components. This tubing can be easily applied. It can be measured, cut, and applied using a heat gun to provide uniform shrink and customized fit. Insultab’s heat shrink tubing is available in Polyolefin and PVC formulations. It is also available in multiple colors to help simplify the identification, and organization, of cables and wires. Insultab manufactures tubing using the highest quality. This shrink temperature guide displays minimum heat shrinking temperatures for each product. The guide helps determine the temperature required to get the best shrink fit for your project.
