Due to its many favorable properties, it is suitable for multiple applications. For example, you can cover wiring harnesses and organize and protect components. Heat shrink tubing serves a variety of functions and purposes that can enhance the performance, durability, and maintenance of products.What is Heat Shrink Tubing Heat shrink tubing covers and encases a collection of wires, cables, or other components in a protective, insulated tube that protects them from external interference. Heat shrink tubing uniquely adheres to products, providing a resilient protective shield with properties that can withstand the harsh environments found in many applications.Whether it’s for added value, security, safety, or protection, here are five reasons you might consider using heat shrink tubing in your project:1. Protection: One of the most important benefits of heat shrink tubing is the protection it provides to wires and cables when exposed to a variety of conditions and environments. In manufacturing and industrial environments, wires and cables are subject to abrasion, chafing, splitting, and constant wear and tear when exposed. Other factors in manufacturing environments can expose wiring to water or moisture, such as steam, oil, grease, chemicals, and acids. Outdoors, humidity, temperature fluctuations, rain, UV exposure, and general environmental conditions can damage wiring and cables. Heat shrink tubing can help ensure the continued performance of wiring and cables.2. Insulation PropertiesInsulation of electrical wires and cables is primarily required to prevent electric shock. However, the insulation of wires and cables also prevents the loss and dissipation of energy conducted through the wiring. The material properties of cable insulators are non-conductive and designed to provide a buffer for anything or anyone that may come into contact with the wiring. Also, thicker insulation provides greater resistance and better transfer of the energy being conducted or information being transmitted. Heat shrink tubing adds a layer of insulation to help with the resistance and adds another level of safety.3. Reduces Cable StressWhile heat shrink tubing protects wiring and cables from exposure to environmental conditions, it also helps prevent excessive stress or stretching of wires and cables that are limited by insufficient space or length. Heat shrinking increases the mechanical support for maintaining the connectivity of wires and cables that would otherwise be subjected to stresses and strains that could lead to premature failure. 4. Organization There is perhaps no better argument for using heat shrink tubing on wires, cables, and components than to organize them. Bundling wires and cables is not only aesthetically pleasing, but proper cable management allows for easy access during system maintenance. 5. Corrosion Resistance: Over time, in any environment, when oxygen combines with the metal, it forms a new compound called an oxide that weakens the bonds of the metal itself, causing it to corrode. Metals and their alloys used in wiring and cable applications can be made corrosion resistant, but only insulating the material can prevent corrosion. Heat shrink tubing provides a perfect seal and protects wires and cables from corrosion that can occur from external disturbances.
