General
Colour	Black

The Pliofine SAM 3,2 Box (15m) black shrink tube from Ses-Sterling is a professional cable protection product for use in electrical and IT installations. It is designed for mechanical and electrical insulation of cables, wires, and electrical connections. The packaging contains 15 meters of the black shrink tube, supplied in a box. The black color is commonly used in technical installations and industrial environments, as it offers good visibility and resistance to UV light and aging.

Applications
This shrink tube is designed for use in electrical installations, IT infrastructure, and industrial applications. It is particularly suitable for insulating cables exposed to mechanical stress, moisture, or temperature fluctuations. Typical uses include covering cable glands, protecting solder joints, or shielding electrical connections in machines, devices, or control systems. The black color is generally suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, especially when high resistance to environmental influences is required.

Functions and Features in Detail
The Pliofine SAM 3,2 shrink tube has a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it reduces to half its original outer diameter when heated. This enables a tight, form-stable fit around the cable or connection to be protected. Processing is done by heating with a hot air blower or a specialized shrink tool, causing the tube to contract and form a dense, protective covering. The black color is not only aesthetic but also functional, as it is UV-resistant and thus suitable for outdoor use.

Technical Explanation
The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that changes shape and contracts when heated. The 2:1 shrink ratio means the tube shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated. This ensures a tight fit around the cable, effectively protecting against mechanical damage, moisture, or electrical discharges. Processing requires targeted heating, with temperature and duration adjusted according to the material and environment. The black color indicates the material composition, designed for high resistance to UV radiation and chemical influences.

Compatibility and Accessories
The shrink tube is suitable for cables and wires with a diameter up to 3.2 mm, as it shrinks to half its original diameter. It can be processed using various tools, including hot air blowers or specialized shrink tools. Use in combination with other shrink tubes or insulating materials is possible, provided material compatibility is ensured. The packaging contains 15 meters of the tube, sufficient for small to medium-sized installations.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting involves placing the shrink tube over the cable or connection to be protected. The tube is then heated using a hot air blower or shrink tool, causing it to contract and form a tight covering. Heating must be even to avoid uneven shrinkage or material damage. Processing requires no additional tools or materials beyond the heating device. The black color remains stable after processing and provides long-term protection.

Operational Advantages
The shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation, extending the service life of cable connections. The tight fit achieved by the 2:1 shrink ratio ensures dense coverage, protecting against moisture, dust, and mechanical stress. The black color is UV-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use. Processing is simple and requires no special tools, reducing installation time. The 15-meter packaging provides sufficient quantity for typical installations in electrical and IT technology.
