The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 1900 (1.22m) from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for cables and wiring in the field of electrical and IT installation. It serves mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as dust, moisture or chemical substances. The red-coloured version enables easy visual identification in plant engineering, particularly in industrial electrical engineering or in the cabling of machines and systems. The shrink tube is supplied in a length of 1.22 metres and is designed for use in installations where reliable and durable coverage of cables is required.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 1900 is a thermoplastic shrink tube that, when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C, reduces its original length by a ratio of 2:1. This means that the tube shrinks to half its original outer diameter when heated, forming a tight, shape-stable covering around the cables or wiring inside. The shrink ratio of 2:1 allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters, making the tube universally applicable. The use of heat – for example, with a hot air blower – activates the shrinking process and ensures a dense, impact-resistant and water-repellent covering.

Applications
The shrink tube is designed for use in industrial electrical engineering, machine construction, automation technology, and in the cabling of systems. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high mechanical load capacity and durable insulation. The red colour serves as a visual identifier, for example, for wiring associated with a specific function or voltage class.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube provides mechanical protection against damage such as scratches, pressure or friction. It also protects against electrical short circuits by insulating the cables. The red colour supports visual identification in plant engineering, which is advantageous for maintenance and servicing. The shrink ratio of 2:1 allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters, making the tube universally applicable.

Technology explained simply
A shrink tube consists of a thermoplastic material that changes shape when heated. When heated, the tube shrinks to a smaller diameter, fitting tightly around the cable inside. This process is triggered by applying heat – for example, using a hot air blower. The shrink ratio of 2:1 means the tube shrinks to half its original outer diameter. This creates a shape-stable, dense covering that protects the cables from external influences. The red colour is a visual feature used to identify wiring.

Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is designed for use with cables and wiring whose diameter falls within the shrink ratio of 2:1. It is not specifically designed for certain cable types or manufacturers, but serves as a universal protective material. The use of accessories such as hot air blowers or heat sources is required to activate the shrinking process.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by sliding the shrink tube over the cable to be protected. The tube is then heated – for example, with a hot air blower – causing it to shrink and form a tight, shape-stable covering.

A shrink tube is a thermoplastic material that shrinks when heated and forms a dense covering around cables. The red colour serves visual identification, and the shrink ratio 2:1 allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters. Processing is done by heating, which causes the tube to change shape and create a shape-stable covering. The shrink tube is designed for use in electrical and IT installation and provides mechanical and electrical protection.

Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides a durable, shape-stable covering that fulfils mechanical and electrical protection functions. The red colour facilitates visual identification in plant engineering, which is advantageous for maintenance and servicing. The universal adaptation via the shrink ratio 2:1 allows use with various cable diameters, increasing flexibility in application. Processing is simple and requires only the application of heat to activate the shrinking process. The shrink ratio 2:1 ensures a tight, dense covering that protects cables from external influences.

The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 1900 (1.22m) from Ses-Sterling is thus a reliable and flexible protective material for cables and wiring in electrical and IT installation. The red colour, the shrink ratio 2:1, and the simple processing by heating make it a universally applicable product for industrial use.
