Cabling work in industrial setups having harsh environments needs extra protection for long-term fault-free performance. Heat shrink tubes and corrosion protection tubes made of polyolefin to give a 2:1 or 3:1 shrink ratio protect the cables in extremely harsh industrial environments having the presence of chemicals, moisture, gases, high temperatures, etc. Selecting the right tubing size is crucial. Sizes of heat shrink sleeves/tubes are denoted as a ratio of expanded size; for example, a tubing with 3:1 shrink ratio shrinks to 1/3 of its original diameter; similarly, 2:1 ratio means the tubing will shrink to half the size of its original diameter when supplied.
