The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 16,0 Box (6m) from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for cables and wiring in the field of electrical and IT installation. It serves for mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture or mechanical stress. The packaging contains 6 metres of the black shrink tube, delivered in a box. The product name refers to shrink ratio class 2:1, meaning that the tube shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated. This enables a tight, form-stable covering of the cables to be protected.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that shrinks when heated, forming a dense, form-stable sleeve. The colour black is standard and offers good visual integration in technical installations. The packaging unit includes 6 metres in length, sufficient for small to medium installations. The shrink ratio class 2:1 ensures a reliable fit on cables and wires with a diameter up to approximately 8 mm (with an original inner diameter of 16.0 mm). Shrinking is achieved by heat, for example using a heat gun or flame, where the temperature must be carefully controlled to avoid overheating the material.

Applications
The shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical installation, IT infrastructure and industrial applications. It is frequently used for insulating cable connections, marking wires or protecting against mechanical damage. The black colour is neutral and fits into most technical environments. The shrink ratio class 2:1 allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation. Shrinking occurs through heat, causing the tube to wrap around the cable and form a dense, form-stable sleeve. The colour black is standard and offers good visual integration. The length of 6 metres per packaging unit allows processing of multiple connections or cable sections. The shrink ratio class 2:1 ensures a tight fit on cables with a diameter up to approximately 8 mm.

Technology explained simply
The shrink tube consists of a thermoplastic polymer that changes shape and shrinks when heated. This behaviour is achieved through the special material composition, enabling a shrink ratio class of 2:1. This means the tube shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated. The heat source can be a heat gun, flame or a special shrink tool. The temperature must be carefully controlled to avoid overheating and damaging the material. The black colour is a standard feature and serves visual harmonisation in technical installations.

Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is designed for use with cables and wires having a diameter up to approximately 8 mm. The shrink ratio class 2:1 allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by sliding the shrink tube over the cable or connection to be protected. Then, the tube is heated using a heat source such as a heat gun or flame, causing it to shrink and form a tight sleeve. The temperature must be carefully controlled to avoid overheating the material. The black colour remains after shrinking. The packaging unit contains 6 metres in length, sufficient for multiple installation steps.

Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation. The shrink ratio class 2:1 ensures a tight fit on cables with a diameter up to approximately 8 mm. The black colour offers good visual integration in technical installations. The packaging unit with 6 metres in length allows processing of multiple connections or cable sections.
