About Heat-Shrink Tubing

Chemical-Resistant Tube Sleeving

Made of PVC, this sleeving resists chemicals, oil, and acids.

High-Temperature Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving

This sleeving withstands temperatures up to 390°F and is often used to insulate connections in transformers and relays. It prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable.

Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving

Add a layer of insulation to prevent electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable.

Extra-Thick Spark-Resistant Tube Sleeving

Made from thicker and denser fiberglass than standard spark-resistant sleeving, this sleeving is more abrasion resistant and provides better insulation. The silicone rubber coating protects against sparks and molten metal splash.

High-Temperature Expandable Sleeving

Protect cable, hose, and pipe in high temperature environments—this sleeving withstands temperatures over 450° F. It stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit.

Flame-Retardant Expandable Sleeving

Tested to meet MIL-STD-202, this sleeving meets performance standards for flame retardance. It stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit.

Duct-Rated Flame-Retardant Expandable Sleeving

Rated UL 2024 and NFPA 262, this sleeving is approved for use in plenum spaces such as duct work and above a drop ceiling. It self-extinguishes and emits minimal amounts of smoke and gas during combustion. Stretch to fit over items for easy installation; it tightens around its contents for a secure fit.

Chemical-Resistant Wrap-Around Sleeving

Coated with PVC, this polyester sleeving resists chemicals and solvents. It has a slit along the entire length so it easily wraps around wire, cable, and hose without disconnecting them.

Interference-Shielding Wrap-Around Sleeving

Use this shielded sleeving to protect wire and cable from signal distortion caused by nearby equipment and devices. It has a slit along the entire length so it easily wraps around wire and cable without disconnecting them.

Heat-Shrink Tubing

Use this general purpose tubing to insulate and protect wire and cable.

High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing

With excellent resistance to tears and cuts, this tubing withstands demanding use.

Chemical-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing

Use this tubing where wire and cable may be exposed to chemicals, oil, and acids.

Tight-Fit Chemical-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing

Often used to bundle batteries, capacitors, and other electronics, this tubing tightly conforms to objects, similar to shrink wrap. It has excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, and acids.

Continuous-Flex Abrasion-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, this highly flexible silicone rubber tubing withstands continuous motion without cracking and tearing. It resists abrasion and can be dragged over rough surfaces without damage.

Flame-Retardant Abrasion-Resistant
Heat-Shrink Tubing

Made of PVDF, this tubing has excellent cut and abrasion resistance. It has a flame-retardant additive that resists combustion and minimizes the spread of flames.

Flame-Retardant Heat-Shrink Tubing

A flame-retardant additive makes this polyolefin tubing combustion resistant and minimizes the spread of flames.
