Main Function Of Heat Shrink Tubing
Aug 09, 2025
Heat shrink tubing is a tubular material with thermal shrinkage characteristics, mainly used for:
1. Insulation protection: Wrap wires, cable joints or exposed conductors to isolate current and prevent short circuits or electric shock risks.
2. Sealed and Waterproof: After heating and shrinking, it tightly adheres to the surface of the object, preventing moisture, dust, or chemical substances from entering, suitable for humid or outdoor environments.
3. Mechanical protection: Enhance the wear and compression resistance of wires and pipes, and extend their service life.
4. Identification classification: Distinguish circuit functions (such as power positive and negative poles, signal lines) through different colors for easy maintenance and identification.
5. Binding and fixing: After shrinking, multiple cables can be tightened to organize messy lines and improve regularity.
Widely used in fields such as electronics, power, communication, automotive, and home appliances.
