General
Colour	Red

The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 240 Box (10m) red from Ses-Sterling is a professional protective material for electrical wiring and cables. It serves for mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against environmental influences such as moisture, dust or mechanical stress. The product is delivered in a box with a length of 10 metres and is available in the colour red. The packaging has a weight of 180 g and is designed for use in electrical and IT trades.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube is a thermoplastic material that changes its original shape when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C and shrinks to about 50 % of its original outer diameter. This shrink ratio of 2:1 enables a tight fit around cables or wires, achieving a dense and secure covering. The shrink ratio is crucial for adapting to different cable diameters and ensures optimal mechanical stability.

Applications
The shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical installation, in the IT sector as well as in industrial electronics. It is frequently used for insulating cable connections, for marking wires or for protection against mechanical damage. The red colour allows for visual identification, for example for high-voltage lines or as a warning colour in certain applications.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube offers high mechanical strength and is resistant to moisture, dust and minor mechanical stress. The red surface is uniform and free of visible defects. The length of 10 metres per box enables efficient processing in larger projects without frequent reloading. The packaging is designed so that the tube can be removed cleanly and without tangling.

Technology explained clearly
When heated with a hot air blower or another suitable tool, the shrink tube contracts and fits tightly around the cable. This process is enabled by the thermoplastic structure of the material. The shrinkage occurs evenly along the entire length, creating a homogeneous covering. The red colour remains even after the shrinking process, facilitating visual identification.

Compatibility and accessories
Use requires a heating device capable of reaching a temperature of at least 100 °C.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by sliding the shrink tube onto the cable or wire to be protected. It is then heated with a hot air blower or similar device until it fully shrinks. The temperature should be raised gradually to ensure even shrinkage. Processing requires no additional tools or materials, except for the heating device.

Advantages in operation
The shrink tube provides reliable and durable insulation that remains stable even under load. The red colour enables quick visual identification, which is advantageous for maintenance and servicing. The 10-m packaging is suitable for larger projects and reduces the number of required packages. Processing is simple and requires no special skills, as long as the correct temperature and heating technique are applied.
