Colour	Yellow

The Pliofine B-EX 3200 heat shrink tube from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for cables and wiring, specifically designed for use in electrical and IT installations. It is supplied on a reel with a length of 30 metres and is available in the colour yellow. The heat shrink tube provides mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture or mechanical stress. It is suitable for use in industrial and technical installations where a reliable and durable protective layer is required.

Heat shrink tube
The Pliofine B-EX 3200 heat shrink tube is a thermoplastic shrink tube that reduces its original length by a ratio of 2:1 when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C. This means that it shrinks to half its original outer diameter, forming a tight, form-stable covering around the underlying cable or wire. Shrinking is achieved by applying heat using a heat gun, heat lamp or a special shrinking device. The yellow colour allows for easy visual identification in the installation environment, particularly in complex cabling systems where colour coding aids orientation.

Applications
The heat shrink tube is intended for use in electrical installations, data communication and industrial automation. It is frequently used for insulating cable connections, marking wires or protecting against mechanical damage. The yellow colour is often used in electrical engineering to identify specific wire types or functions, thereby also serving a functional marking purpose. The product can be used in both indoor and outdoor installations, with its material properties ensuring high resistance to environmental influences.

Functions and features in detail
The heat shrink tube provides a dense, form-stable covering that, after shrinking, ensures high mechanical strength and good electrical insulation. Shrinking occurs evenly and without cracks, creating a reliable protective layer. The yellow colour is durable and resistant to UV radiation, making it suitable for outdoor use. The 30-metre reel enables efficient processing in larger projects, eliminating the need for frequent interruptions to replenish stock.

Technology explained simply
The heat shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic polymer that changes shape when heated. Its original length is approximately twice the length after shrinking. This 2:1 ratio allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters. Shrinking is achieved through controlled heat application, with the temperature not exceeding the material’s tolerance to avoid damage. After shrinking, a dense, form-stable sleeve forms, protecting the cable from mechanical stress, moisture and dust. The yellow colour remains stable after shrinking and allows for easy identification.

Compatibility and accessories
The heat shrink tube is compatible with a wide range of cables and wires, particularly in electrical and IT technology. It can be processed using various heat sources such as heat guns, heat lamps or special shrinking devices. The use of accessories such as shrinking devices or heat sources is required to perform the shrinking correctly. There are no specific accessory items directly associated with this heat shrink tube; however, the use of appropriate heat sources is essential for correct application.

Installation and mounting
Installation involves sliding the heat shrink tube over the cable or wire to be protected. It is then heated using a heat source until it shrinks to half its original length. Heat application must be even to ensure uniform shrinking. After shrinking, the tube should fit tightly and securely without cracks or gaps. The yellow colour remains intact after shrinking and serves as a visual identifier.

Operational advantages
The heat shrink tube provides a reliable, durable protective layer that resists mechanical stress, moisture and dust. The yellow colour enables easy identification and marking in the installation environment. The 30-metre reel is suitable for larger projects and reduces the number of necessary packaging changes. Shrinking occurs evenly and form-stably, ensuring high processing quality. The material properties ensure high resistance to environmental influences, particularly UV radiation, enabling outdoor use.
