The shrink tube Pliofine B-160 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 moisture, dust, or mechanical stress. The product is delivered in a box with a length of 6 metres and is available in the colour Natural. The packaging has a weight of 166 g.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that shrinks back to its original, smaller form when heated. This process enables a tight, form-stable covering of the cables or wires contained within. The shrink ratio of 2:1, mentioned in the product description, means that the tube shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated. This ensures a close fit and secure hold on the protected wiring.

Applications
The shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical installation, IT infrastructure, and industrial applications. It is frequently used for insulating cables, sealing connections, marking wires, or providing protective covering in enclosed systems. The Natural colour offers a neutral appearance that blends into many installation scenarios.

Functions and equipment in detail
The Pliofine B-160 Box (6m) shrink tube is designed for simple and efficient processing. It is delivered in a box containing a length of 6 metres. The packaging is designed so that the tube can be easily removed and cut to the desired length. Processing is done by heating, for example with a hot air blower, which causes the tube to shrink and envelop the contained wires.

Technology explained simply
The shrinking behaviour is based on the thermal activation of a special plastic material. When heated to a specific temperature (typically between 90 and 120 °C, depending on the material), the tube begins to shrink until it conforms to the shape of the wires inside. This results in a tight, form-stable covering that resists mechanical stress, moisture, and dust. The shrink ratio of 2:1 means that the tube shrinks to approximately 50 % of its original diameter, ensuring a close fit.

Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is suitable for use with various cable types and wires. It can be used in combination with other shrink tubes or insulating materials to meet specific requirements for insulation or marking. The use of a hot air blower or other heat sources to activate the shrinking process is required.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by cutting the desired length of shrink tube, sliding it over the wires to be protected, and then heating it with a hot air blower. Care must be taken to ensure the temperature is sufficient to activate the shrinking process, but not so high that the material is damaged. Processing typically requires no additional tools other than the hot air blower.

Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides reliable and durable protection for cables and wires. The tight fit after shrinking ensures a secure hold and prevents the wires from shifting. The material properties ensure good mechanical stability and resistance to environmental influences. The 6-metre length allows for efficient processing without frequent changes of packaging.

The Natural colour enables unobtrusive integration into various installation scenarios. Packaging in a box facilitates transport and storage.
