General
Colour	Black

The Pliofine SAM 1.6 (1.22m) black shrink tube from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for cables and wiring in the field of electrical and IT installation. It provides mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture, or mechanical stress. With a length of 1.22 metres and a shrink ratio of 2:1, it enables a secure and tight covering of cables, connections, or assemblies. The black colour is standard and blends into most technical environments without being visually obtrusive.

Applications
This shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical installation, data communication, and industrial applications. It is commonly used for sealing cables, covering plug connections, or insulating circuit traces. Due to its shrinking properties, it can also be used in confined spaces or complex installations where a firm, tight covering is required. Outdoor use is possible if environmental conditions meet the requirements for mechanical and chemical resistance.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The Pliofine SAM 1.6 shrink tube has a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it reduces to half its original outer diameter when heated. This ensures a tight fit around the cable or wiring to be protected. The black colour is clearly defined and meets requirements for a discreet yet visible marking. The length of 1.22 metres provides sufficient material for multiple applications or longer sections. The packaging contains a single piece, ready for immediate use.

Technology Explained Simply
Shrink tubes are made of a thermoplastic material that shrinks and conforms tightly around the underlying cable when heated (e.g., with a hot air blower). This process creates a dense, shape-stable covering that protects against mechanical stress, moisture, and dust. The 2:1 shrink ratio means the tube shrinks to half its original diameter when heated, achieving a tight fit. The black colour is not only aesthetic but also functional, as it is UV-resistant and integrates well into technical environments.

Compatibility and Accessories
The shrink tube is compatible with standard cables and wiring within the 2:1 shrink ratio. It can be processed using various heating devices such as hot air blowers or dedicated shrink tools.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves sliding the shrink tube over the cable or wiring to be protected. It is then heated using a hot air blower or another suitable heating device until it shrinks and forms a tight seal. The temperature and heating duration must be chosen to ensure even shrinking without burning or deforming the tube. Processing requires no special tools other than the heating device.

Operational Advantages
The shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation. The tight fit protects against moisture, dust, and mechanical stress. The black colour is UV-resistant, ensuring long-term durability in use. The simple processing and 2:1 shrink ratio allow flexible application in various installation scenarios. The length of 1.22 metres provides sufficient material for multiple applications or longer sections.
