The Pliofine B-EX 120 heat shrink tube from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for electrical and electronic wiring, cable bundles, and sensitive components in installation technology. It is supplied in the form of a reel with a length of 150 meters and is available in the color black. The heat shrink tube serves mechanical and electrical insulation, protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture, or mechanical stress, and enables proper cable processing in industrial, commercial, and technical applications.

Heat shrink tube
The Pliofine B-EX 120 heat shrink tube is a thermoplastic shrink tube that, when heated to approximately 120 °C, reduces its original length by a ratio of 2:1. This means that a tube with an original inner diameter of, for example, 10 mm will reach an inner diameter of approximately 5 mm after shrinking. Shrinking is achieved by heat generated via a hot air gun, a special shrinking device, or a heat lamp. The material composition ensures uniform and dense deformation, creating a firm, durable covering for cables or wires.

Applications
The heat shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical and IT installation, automation technology, and in machine and plant engineering. It is frequently used for insulating cable ends, bundling wires, protecting connections on connectors, or covering sensors and other sensitive components. The black color makes it particularly suitable for applications where a discreet or industrially appropriate appearance is required.

Functions and equipment in detail
The heat shrink tube offers high mechanical strength and is resistant to UV radiation, oils, fats, and many chemical substances. The surface is smooth, enabling easy installation. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters, covering a wide range of application scenarios. Packaging in the form of a 150-meter reel enables economical and efficient processing, especially for larger projects.

Technology explained simply
The heat shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic polymer that changes shape when heated. The heat energy triggers a molecular change, causing the tube to shrink and tightly enclose the cables or wires inside. Shrinking occurs uniformly and without cracks, enabling a dense, waterproof, and dustproof covering. The material composition ensures high heat resistance and chemical resistance, making the heat shrink tube suitable for use in demanding environments.

Compatibility and accessories
The Pliofine B-EX 120 heat shrink tube is compatible with a wide range of cables, wires, and electrical components. It can be processed using standard shrinking devices, hot air guns, or heat lamps. The use of heat shrink tube cutters or pliers can facilitate installation but is not mandatory. The black color blends well into industrial environments and is suitable for applications where high visibility or specific color coding is not required.

Installation and mounting
Installation is performed by sliding the heat shrink tube onto the cable or component to be protected. The tube is then heated using a hot air gun or shrinking device until it shrinks and forms a firm, dense covering. The temperature should be approximately 120 °C to achieve optimal shrinking. Processing is done without additional adhesives or chemical aids. The reel allows continuous processing, with the length being cut to size as needed.

Advantages in operation
The heat shrink tube provides reliable, durable, and weather-resistant covering. High mechanical strength protects against physical damage, while chemical resistance against oils, fats, and many solvents ensures a long service life. Uniform shrinking ensures clean and professional processing, considered a quality feature in electrical and IT installation. Packaging in 150-meter reels enables efficient use in larger projects.
