The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 640 Box (7m) 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 yellow colour identifies the tube as visually recognisable and enables easy identification in the installation environment. The packaging contains 7 metres of shrink tube in a box, weighing 210 g.
Applications
The shrink tube is suitable for use in industrial and technical installations, particularly in environments where high mechanical load capacity and resistance to external influences are required. It is frequently used for wiring machines, in automation technology, or for the installation of control and communication lines. The yellow colour supports visual differentiation from other cable protection systems and facilitates maintenance and inspection.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 640 offers a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it reduces to half its original outer diameter when thermally activated. This ensures a tight, form-stable fit around the cables or wiring to be protected. The material composition enables reliable insulation and a tight seal, protecting against moisture and dust. The yellow colour is a visual feature that makes the tube easily identifiable during the installation process.
Technology Explained Simply
During application, the shrink tube is slid over the cables to be protected and then heated (e.g. using a heat gun). It then shrinks to the specified size and forms a dense, elastic sleeve. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters. The material properties ensure high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences. The yellow colour remains stable even after shrinking and serves as a visual identifier.
Compatibility and Accessories
The shrink tube is designed for use with cables and wiring used in industrial and technical applications. It is not specifically designed for particular accessories or add-on systems, but serves as a universal protective material. Its use is independent of special mounting aids or tools, although thermal activation using a heating device is required.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by sliding the shrink tube over the cables to be protected. It is then heated using a heating device (e.g. a heat gun) until it shrinks to the intended size. The heating process must be even to ensure uniform shrinkage and a tight fit. The yellow colour remains intact during the process and provides clear visual identification.

Operational Advantages
The shrink tube provides reliable, tight, and form-stable insulation, extending the service life of the protected wiring. The yellow colour facilitates identification and maintenance during operation. Its simple installation and universal applicability make it a practical tool for electrical and IT installers. Thermal activation requires no additional tools, and the shrinkage is uniform and reproducible. The material quality ensures long-term functionality under industrial conditions.
