    Thin-Wall High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Thin-Wall High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Even with walls as thin as plastic wrap, this PET tubing withstands tears and nicks. Thanks to its thin walls, it shrinks down in seconds instead of minutes and at lower temperatures than PVDF and FEP tubing. It also resists oil and grease. The sleeving is often used as a replacement for tape because it is durable and easy to install. Also known as Mylar tubing.
    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.
