The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 9,5 Box (8m) from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for cables and wiring in the field of electrical and IT installation. It is delivered in a box with a length of 8 metres and is available in the colour black. The shrink tube serves mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture or mechanical stress. It is specifically designed for use in installations where reliable and durable covering of cables and connections is required.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 9,5 is a thermoplastic shrink tube that reduces its original length by a ratio of 2:1 when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C. This means that a tube with an original inner diameter of 9.5 mm reaches a diameter of approximately 4.75 mm after shrinking. Shrinking is achieved by applying heat, either via a heat blower, heat lamp or a special shrink tool. The 2:1 shrink ratio enables a tight fit on cables and wires of varying thickness, ensuring optimal mechanical stabilisation and electrical insulation.

Applications
The shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical and IT installations, particularly in areas where cables and wires need to be protected against mechanical damage, moisture or dust. It is frequently used in wiring for sockets, switches, network cables, sensors or in industrial electrical installations. The black colour makes it especially suitable for applications where an inconspicuous or black-matched appearance is desired, for example in server rooms, building automation or security system installations.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube offers high mechanical strength and is resistant to UV radiation, oils, fats and many chemical substances. It is intended for indoor use, provided the specific environmental conditions and insulation requirements are met. Packaging is in a box containing a length of 8 metres, enabling continuous processing without frequent package changes. The box is designed to allow the tube to be removed cleanly and without tangling.

Technology explained simply
The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic polymer that changes shape when heated. Heat is applied using a heating device, causing the tube to shrink and tightly enclose the cable or wire inside. Shrinking occurs evenly along the entire length, resulting in a dense and homogeneous covering. The black colour results from the material's pigmentation and does not affect thermal properties. The 2:1 shrink ratio is a standard value that enables a good fit for a wide range of cable diameters.

Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is compatible with all common cables and wires whose diameter falls within the shrink range of 4.75 mm to 9.5 mm. It can be processed using various heat sources such as heat blowers, heat lamps or special shrink tools. Processing is done with standard tools commonly used in electrical and IT installations.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by sliding the shrink tube over the cable or wire to be protected. The tube is then heated with a heating device until it shrinks and achieves a tight fit. The heat source should be moved evenly along the entire length of the tube to ensure uniform shrinking. After cooling, the tube remains in its new shape and permanently protects the cable. The box enables continuous processing, reducing working time.

Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides a reliable and durable protective layer for cables and wires. The tight fit after shrinking prevents moisture, dust or other particles from entering. Mechanical stability protects against mechanical stress, such as friction or pulling. Processing is simple and fast, reducing installation time. The black colour blends visually into many installations, especially in IT and electrical systems, where an inconspicuous appearance is desired.
