Ses-Sterling 07390210003 Pliofine B-EX 160 Box (11m) green shrink tube 2:1 content_copy

The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 160 Box (11m) green 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 dust, moisture, or mechanical stress. The packaging contains 11 metres of the green shrink tube, delivered in a box. The green colour is typical for applications where visual identification or a specific application category (e.g. earthing or protective conductors) is required.

Applications

The shrink tube is designed for use in installations where reliable insulation and mechanical protection for cables and wiring are required. It is particularly suitable for use in industrial environments, for mounting control and communication wiring, as well as in electrical installations. The green colour may be used in certain standards or company guidelines as identification for protective conductors or earthing conductors, depending on the specific application and local regulations.

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 enables a tight fit around the cables to be protected and ensures a secure, tight covering. Processing is done by heat, for example using a hot air blower, which causes the tube to shrink and envelop the underlying cables or wiring. The green colour remains even after shrinking and serves as visual identification.

Technology Explained Simply

Shrink tubes are made of a thermoplastic material that changes shape and shrinks when heated. In this model, the shrink ratio of 2:1 is achieved, ensuring a good fit and tight coverage. Processing requires targeted heat application, with temperature and heating duration varying depending on the thickness of the tube and ambient temperature. The green colour is part of the material and remains after shrinking.

Compatibility and Accessories

The shrink tube is designed for use with cables and wiring that have a diameter within the shrink range. Processing typically requires a hot air blower or another heat source to initiate the shrinking process.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by sliding the shrink tube onto the cables to be protected, followed by heating with a hot air blower. Care should be taken to ensure even heat distribution to achieve uniform shrinking and avoid cracks or uneven coverage. The green colour remains after shrinking and serves as visual identification.

Operational Advantages

The shrink tube provides a tight, mechanically stable, and electrically insulating protective layer. The green colour allows for easy visual identification, which can be helpful during maintenance and inspection of installations. Processing is simple and does not require additional adhesives or connection techniques. Shrinking is done by heat, enabling clean and precise coverage.
