    About Heat-Shrink Tubing
    industrial info icon

    Find tubing with the right shrink ratio, flexibility, and dielectric strength. Plus, compare materials by chemical resistance temperature, and more.

    Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Create a water-resistant seal—this tubing has an adhesive lining that melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface. Choose tubing with a larger shrink ratio to cover irregularly shaped objects or cable assemblies that have a large size difference between the cable and connector.
    2:1 Shrink Ratio

    Flexible—Use flexible tubing in applications where wire and cable need to bend around curves and corners.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    Extra-Thick Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Extra-thick walls provide better protection against abrasion and tears than standard moisture-seal tubing. It has an adhesive lining that melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal.

    Short tubing is good for sliding over terminals, wire ferrules, and compression lugs to insulate and protect them.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    High-Shrink-Ratio Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Shrink-Ratio Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Create a tight, water-resistant seal over irregularly shaped components. When heated, this tubing shrinks down to about 1/6th of its original ID, while an adhesive lining melts and forms a barrier around your component. For better protection against scrapes, tears, and punctures, it has thicker walls than standard tubing. And since it’s made from polyolefin, this tubing is a good pick for most other environments as well.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    Moisture-Seal Wrap for Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing Seal Wrap. Moisture-Seal Wrap for Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Use this wrap with heat-shrink tubing to create a moisture-resistant seal. Apply it like tape around wire and cable, and slide the tubing over the wrap. The wrap melts when tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface.
    TPE Rubber—TPE rubber wrap has a higher dielectric strength than nylon plastic and butyl rubber wrap, so it’s the best choice for electrical insulation.
    Nylon—Nylon plastic wrap is ultra thin, so you can wrap it around each individual wire as well as your whole bundle for enhanced protection. Along with water, it resists oils, chemicals, and grease.
    Butyl—Butyl rubber wrap seals larger gaps than TPE rubber and nylon plastic wrap, so it’s better for protecting irregular shapes or items with deep grooves. However, it doesn’t withstand temperatures as high.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    Made of PVC, this tubing resists chemicals, oil, and solvents. An adhesive lining melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal. It resists UV, so it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight.

    High-Temperature Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Temperature Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Create a moisture-resistant seal in applications where temperatures reach up to 450° F. The inner lining melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal. Made of PTFE, it also resists abrasion and chemicals. Choose tubing with a larger shrink ratio to create a tight seal over irregularly shaped objects.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.
