Heat Shrink products are used for the purpose of electrical insulation and offer numerous benefits including sealing, relief from strain, mechanical protection. Today, industries and factories use Heat Shrink products for a vast variety of purposes including repairing cable assemblies, insulation as well as cable termination. In fact, Heat Shrink products including Heat Shrink Tubes, Heat Shrink Boot, PVC Caps and Heat Shrink Sleeve are available in different colors, materials, thickness, size as well as shrink ratio and are fit for various applications. Here, discover more about each of the products and their benefits and applications.

Heat Shrink Tubes: A Heat Shrink Tube is basically a tube, which contracts when it is warmed. The tube is essentially used for protecting wires and cables from being damaged due to environmental dangers. In fact, the heat shrink tubes are used for safeguarding the cables from chemical, electrical and mechanical effects as well. These tubes offer innumerable advantages. To begin with, they are used for safeguarding the cables against chemicals, abrasion and of course weather. Heat Shrink Tubes are also utilized for the purpose of color coding, bundling as well as providing relief from strain. It is used for sealing dust and water and keeping them at bay from the cable splicing, harness numerous wires or cables together and also for insulating cables as well as wires against excessive heat in boats, military vehicles and aircrafts.

Heat Shrink Sleeve: Heat Shrink Sleeve is yet another important product that is widely used for jointing applications. They offer advanced protection to the joints and are fully compatible with anti-corrosive coating systems.  The heat shrink sleeves consist of three layered coating. Thus, when one applies heat to these sleeves that are wrapped around the joint the adhesive begins to melt and the sleeves conform tightly around the joint as well as coating. Later, when it cools down, it creates a tough bonding all around the coating and pipe.

Heat Shrink Boot: The Heat Shrink Boot is needed for electrical products and interconnecting designs. They are used for bridging the sealed wire assemblies as well as connectors. They coated with adhesive, which helps in sealing and protecting them against water. They are widely used for safeguarding cables from mechanical effects and corrosion and also offer amazing insulation properties. They are used in military, electrical, commercial and marine applications. What makes them truly unique is the fact that they are easy to install and designed to resist abrasion. They are designed to offer numerous services like potting ports, custom labeling, bar coding and adhesive lining.

PVC Caps: The PVC caps also known as Poly Vinyl Chloride caps are used for offering advanced protection to the ends of the cable. They safeguard the ends of the cable from moisture, contamination and weathering. They can be easily and quickly installed without using any devices or tools and are also very affordable in comparison to the Heat Shrink caps. Depending upon their requirements industries and manufacturers can opt for caps in varied lengths and thickness and they do not split or crack like any other Polyethylene with lower density.
