Why use heat-shrinkable sleeving?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heat-shrinkable sleeving<\/strong> is easy to install, flexible and adaptable. They shrink when heated, allowing a perfect fit around cables and components.<\/p>\n

Heat-shrinkable sleeving improves the aesthetics of installations, facilitates maintenance and offers cables significant mechanical protection<\/strong>. They also protect cables from moisture, dust, chemicals and abrasion, while providing effective electrical insulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I choose heat-shrinkable sleeving?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heat-shrinkable sleeving comes in a variety of materials. Depending on the type of sleeving chosen, they may have specific properties: halogen-free, self-extinguishing, heat resistance, heat-transfer marking, shrink ratio, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the following criteria when choosing the right sheath for your needs:
   \u2022<\/em> wall thickness: thick or thin and flexible
   \u2022<\/em> shrink ratio: 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1 (depending on the sheath)
   \u2022<\/em> colour, for better cable identification
   \u2022<\/em> packaging: coil, reel, bar, distribution box, sleeves, etc.<\/p>\n

To make your choice, consult the table<\/a> summarising the characteristics of our heat-shrinkable sleeving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
