General
Colour	Black

The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 12.7 from Ses-Sterling is a black-coloured, thermoplastic shrink tube designed for use in electrical and IT installations. It is supplied on a reel with a length of 50 metres and is used for mechanical and electrical insulation of cables, wires, and electrical connections. The packaging unit includes 50 metres of shrink tube, with a weight of 14.45 g per metre. The total packaging weight is 0.723 kg. The shrink tube is available in black and is suitable for applications requiring a durable, shape-stable covering.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 12.7 is a thermoplastic shrink tube that shrinks to its original, smaller form when heated. This process occurs through the application of heat, for example, using a hot air blower or a heating device. The shrink ratio is 2:1, meaning the tube shrinks to half its original diameter. This allows for a tight fit around cables or wires, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical insulation. The black colour of the tube provides good visibility and is suitable for applications requiring optical differentiation or marking.

Applications
The shrink tube is used in electrical and IT installations to protect cables, wires, and electrical connections. It provides mechanical stabilisation, electrical insulation, and protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture, or mechanical stress. Applications include covering cable connections, insulating connection points, or bundling cables. Due to its thermoplastic properties, it is suitable for indoor use and environments with moderate environmental influences.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 12.7 is packaged on a reel with a length of 50 metres. The packaging unit is sized to be sufficient for larger installations or projects. The black colour of the tube enables clear optical identification and is suitable for applications requiring visual distinction. The thermoplastic nature of the tube ensures permanent shape stability after the shrinking process. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows for a tight fit around cables or wires, achieving secure mechanical and electrical insulation.

Technology explained simply
The shrink tube operates based on the thermoplastic properties of the material used. When heated, the tube shrinks to its original, smaller form, tightly conforming to the cable or wire being protected. This process is carried out by applying heat, for example, using a hot air blower. The 2:1 shrink ratio means the tube shrinks to half its original diameter, ensuring a tight fit and secure insulation. The black colour of the tube provides good visibility and is suitable for applications requiring optical distinction.

Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 12.7 is designed for use with cables, wires, and electrical connections. It is compatible with various cable types and wire cross-sections within the 2:1 shrink ratio. Its use is in electrical and IT installations, with application possibilities determined by its thermoplastic properties and black colour. It is used in conjunction with suitable heating devices, such as hot air blowers, to perform the shrinking process.

Installation and mounting
The installation of the shrink tube involves sliding the tube over the cable or wire to be protected. The tube is then heated using a hot air blower or another heating device, causing it to shrink to its original, smaller form. This process is carried out in several steps, with heat applied evenly to the tube to ensure uniform shrinking. Installation requires no additional tools or materials other than the heating device. Its use is in electrical and IT installations, with application possibilities determined by its thermoplastic properties and black colour.

Operational advantages
