The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 240 Box (10m) 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 mechanical stress. The product is supplied in a box with a length of 10 meters and is available in the color blue. The packaging weighs 180 g and is designed for use in craftsmanship and industrial installation.
Shrink tube
The shrink tube is a thermoplastic material that, when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C, changes its original shape and shrinks to about 50 % of its original outer diameter. This 2:1 shrink ratio enables a secure and tight covering of cables, wiring, or connections. The shrink technology provides a form-stable, durable, and waterproof covering, particularly used in areas with high demands on insulation and protective function.
Applications
The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 240 Box is suitable for use in electrical and IT installation, especially in environments where high mechanical load capacity and resistance to external influences are required. It is frequently used for covering cable connections, plug connections, terminal clamps, or for marking wiring. The blue color serves as a visual identification, for example, to distinguish wiring by function or system affiliation.
Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube provides reliable insulation and protective function through its thermoplastic structure. When heated, it shrinks evenly and conforms precisely to the wiring to be protected. The surface is smooth, enabling easy installation. The length of 10 meters per box provides sufficient material for multiple installation steps, allowing efficient workflow. The packaging is designed to store and transport the tube cleanly and without damage.
Technology explained simply
The shrink tube operates on the principle of thermal shape change. The material is applied at room temperature and then heated using a heating device, such as a hot air blower. During this process, it loses its elastic shape and shrinks to approximately half its original diameter. This process ensures a tight, form-stable covering that does not create air or moisture gaps. Shrink technology is particularly effective when high mechanical stability and long-term protective function are required.
Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is designed for use with cables, wiring, and electrical connections that have a diameter up to 240 mm in the unshrunk state. The exact fit results from the 2:1 shrink ratio. It is available in blue, making it suitable for identification purposes. Use with other shrink tube types or accessories is possible, provided the technical requirements for diameter, shrink ratio, and temperature resistance are met.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by sliding the shrink tube onto the cable or connection to be protected. It is then heated using a hot air blower or another suitable heating device until it fully shrinks and forms a tight covering. The temperature should be between 100 °C and 120 °C to ensure even shrinkage. Processing does not require additional adhesives or fastening agents. The box is designed to allow the tube to be cleanly removed and processed.
Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides reliable, durable, and waterproof insulation. The smooth surface facilitates installation and prevents dust or dirt from adhering. The blue color enables easy visual identification, simplifying maintenance and wire identification during operation. The 10-meter length per box ensures efficient use, especially in larger installations. The packaging protects the product from damage and allows clean storage.
