General
Colour	Yellow

The Pliofine B-EX 3200 (1.22m) yellow shrink tube from Ses-Sterling is a protective material specifically developed for use in electrical and electronic installations. It provides mechanical and electrical insulation for cables, wires, and connections, particularly in environments where high requirements for protection class and resistance to external influences apply. The yellow color of the tube enables quick visual identification in the installation environment, which is advantageous for maintenance and inspection. The shrink tube is supplied in a length of 1.22 meters and is suitable for use in industrial and technical installations.

Applications

The Pliofine B-EX 3200 shrink tube is designed for use in electrical and electronic systems where reliable insulation and mechanical protection are required. It is commonly used in electrical installation, automation technology, and manufacturing technology to protect cable connections, plug connections, or wires against mechanical damage, moisture, and contamination. The yellow color serves as a visual identifier, contributing to better orientation and identification of wires in technical installations.

Functions and Features in Detail

The shrink tube has a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it reduces to half its original outer diameter when heated. This ensures a tight, form-stable fit around the wires or cables to be protected. Processing is done by heat, for example using a hot air blower, causing the tube to contract and form a dense, protective covering. The yellow color is clearly visible and remains identifiable even after shrinking, facilitating identification during operation.

Technology Explained Simply

The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that changes shape and contracts when heated. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters, forming a tight, dense fit after shrinking. The yellow color is an integral part of the material and is not applied by painting or printing, ensuring it remains stable even after processing. Processing requires controlled heat input, with the temperature chosen to ensure the tube contracts evenly without melting or burning.

Compatibility and Accessories

The shrink tube is designed for use with electrical and electronic wires and cables requiring mechanical and electrical insulation. It is available in a length of 1.22 meters and can be processed in sections as needed. The yellow color serves as a visual identifier and is particularly suitable for installations with multiple wire colors to enable better differentiation.

Installation and Mounting

Installation involves sliding the shrink tube over the area to be protected, followed by heating with a hot air blower or similar tool. The temperature must be selected to ensure the tube contracts evenly without melting. Processing should take place in a clean, dust-free environment to ensure optimal fit and protective function. After shrinking, the tube forms a dense, form-stable covering that protects the underlying wires.

Operational Advantages

The Pliofine B-EX 3200 shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation, extending the service life of the protected wires. The yellow color enables quick identification during operation, simplifying maintenance and inspection. The 2:1 shrink ratio ensures flexible adaptation to various cable diameters, making the tube universally applicable. Processing is simple and requires no additional tools beyond a heating device, reducing installation time.
