About Heat-Shrink Tubing

Chemical-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing
Use this tubing where wire and cable may be exposed to chemicals, oil, and acids.
Neoprene rubber tubing is abrasion resistant. Viton® fluoroelastomer rubber tubing is more chemical resistant than neoprene rubber. It’s also abrasion resistant and withstands temperatures up to 390° F.
SAE AMS-DTL-23053/1 Class 2, 23053/2 Class 2, and 23053/13 tubing meets requirements for material quality and color.
MIL-R-46846 Type I Class 1 and Type III Class 1 tubing meet stringent military standards for physical, electrical, and chemical performance.
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.

No-Heat Shrink Tubing
- Material: EPDM Rubber
- Shrink Ratio: See Table
- Dielectric Strength: 365 V/mil
- Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
- Specifications Met: ANSI C119.1, CE Marked
Create a permanent seal without applying heat. Also known as cold-shrink tubing, this tubing has a removable spiral-wound core. Slide the tubing over wire and cable and pull out the core. When the core is removed, the tubing contracts and conforms to the underlying cable. The length shrinks by several inches. Made of EPDM rubber, it resists chemicals including acids, alkalies, and ozone. Resistant to UV, it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight. It meets ANSI C119.1 for water seal requirements and can be submerged.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.

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.
Butyl rubber wrap seals larger gaps than TPE rubber wrap, so it’s better for protecting irregular shapes or items with deep grooves.
TPE rubber is better for electrical insulation than butyl rubber. It withstands higher temperatures.
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.
