The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 25.4 Box (5m) 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 product is delivered in a box with a length of 5 meters and is available in the color black. The packaging has a weight of 410 grams and is designed for use in craftsmanship and industrial electrical installation.
Shrink tube
The shrink tube Pliofine SAM 25.4 is a thermoplastic shrink tube that, when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C, maintains its original length but reduces its diameter to about half – i.e., a shrink ratio of 2:1. This enables a tight, form-stable covering of cables, wiring, or connections, creating a dense covering and protective layer. The material composition is designed for high mechanical strength and chemical resistance, making it suitable for use in various industrial and technical applications.
Applications
The shrink tube is intended for use in electrical installation, IT infrastructure, and industrial automation. It is particularly suitable for insulating cable connections, protecting cable bundles, marking wiring, or sealing penetrations. Due to its black color, it is also suitable for applications where a discreet visual appearance is desired. The product can be used indoors and outdoors, with the material properties offering a certain resistance to environmental influences.
Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube is delivered in a box with a total length of 5 meters. The box allows for clean and damage-free removal of the tube. The color black is standard and offers good visibility while maintaining discretion. The packaging is designed for professional use, with the box weighing 410 grams. The packaging contains no additional components or accessories – only the shrink tube in the specified length.
Technology explained simply
The shrink tube operates on the principle of thermal shrinking. When heated with a hot air blower or another suitable heating device, the tube contracts radially, tightly wrapping around the cable or wire to be protected. The shrink ratio of 2:1 means that the original diameter of the tube is reduced to approximately half when heated. This results in a dense, form-stable covering that protects against mechanical stress, moisture, and dust. The material properties ensure high strength and resistance to chemical influences.
Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is universally applicable and can be combined with various cable types, wiring, and connections. It is particularly suitable for cables with a diameter within the shrink range of the tube. There are no specific accessories mentioned in connection with this item.
Installation and mounting
Installation is carried out by sliding the shrink tube over the cable or wire to be protected. Subsequently, the tube is heated using a hot air blower or another suitable heating device, causing it to shrink and form a tight, form-stable covering. Heating must be even to ensure uniform shrinking. The use of safety goggles and appropriate work clothing is recommended to avoid injuries from hot surfaces or material fragments.
Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation. The dense covering protects against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The black color enables a discreet visual appearance. Packaging in a box facilitates handling and storage. The material quality ensures long service life and high reliability in operation.
