The shrink tube Pliofine B-095 Box (8m) from Ses-Sterling is a protective sleeve for cables and wires, used in electrical and IT installations. It provides mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture, or mechanical stress. The packaging contains 8 meters of shrink tube in the Natural color, making it suitable for applications where an unobtrusive, transparent, or slightly yellowish covering is desired. The shrink tube is delivered in a box weighing 227.1 g.

Shrink tube is a thermoplastic material that changes shape when heated to approximately 100 to 120 °C, reducing to about 50 % of its original outer diameter — that is, a shrink ratio of 2:1. This enables a tight, form-stable covering of cables, wires, or electrical connections. The application typically involves using a heat gun or a dedicated shrink tool, with temperature carefully controlled to avoid overheating or damaging the material.

Applications include installations in buildings, industrial facilities, vehicles, or in data communication. The shrink tube is commonly used for cable termination, covering connection points, or protecting electrical components. The Natural color allows good visibility of the underlying wires without impairing the visual design of the installation. Packaging in a box facilitates handling and storage, especially in larger projects requiring multiple meters.

Functions and features in detail include thermal shrinkability, mechanical stability after shrinking, and electrical insulation capability. The shrink tube is made from a thermoplastic polymer that becomes elastic when heated and then conforms to the shape of the underlying object. After cooling, it remains in the new shape, forming a tight, form-stable sleeve. The Natural color is a transparent to slightly yellowish material that makes the cables underneath visible without affecting electrical properties.

Technology explained simply means that the shrink tube is not simply pulled over the cable and tightened, but actively reshaped by targeted heat application. Heat is applied using a device such as a heat gun. The temperature must be chosen so that the shrink tube shrinks evenly without burning or cracking. The shrink ratio of 2:1 means that a tube with an original outer diameter of, for example, 10 mm will reach a diameter of approximately 5 mm after shrinking. This allows a tight fit on cables of varying thicknesses.

Compatibility and accessories include use with standard heat tools for shrink tubes. It is used in combination with other installation components such as cables, connectors, or switchboards. The Natural color is suitable for applications where a transparent or slightly yellowish covering is desired without impairing electrical properties.

A shrink tube is a flexible, thermoplastic material that changes shape when heated. The shrink ratio 2:1 means the tube reduces to half its original diameter. The Natural color is a transparent to slightly yellowish material that makes the underlying wires visible. The packaging in a box facilitates handling and storage. The length of 8 meters allows supply of multiple installations from a single package.

Installation and mounting involves sliding the shrink tube over the cable or wire to be protected. It is then heated using a device such as a heat gun until it shrinks and forms a tight, form-stable sleeve. Temperature must be carefully controlled to avoid damaging the material. After cooling, the shrink tube remains in its new shape and protects the underlying wires from mechanical stress, moisture, or dust.

Operational advantages include easy handling, high mechanical stability after shrinking, and electrical insulation capability. The shrink tube provides a tight seal that extends the service life of cables and connections. The Natural color allows visual inspection of the underlying wires without affecting electrical properties. Packaging in a box facilitates handling and storage, especially in larger projects.

The shrink tube is used in electrical and IT installations where a reliable, form-stable, and electrically insulating covering of cables and wires is required. The Natural color is suitable for applications where a transparent or slightly yellowish covering is desired without impairing the visual design of the installation. The length of 8 meters allows supply of multiple installations from a single package, increasing efficiency in larger projects.
