General
Colour	Orange

The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 1270 Box (5m) orange 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 packaging contains a 5-metre roll of shrink tube in the colour orange, delivered in a box. The box has a weight of 257.3 g, with the packaging itself weighing 0.257 kg.

Shrink tube

The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that shrinks to its original, smaller form when heated. This process enables a tight, form-stable covering of the cables or wiring inside. The shrink ratio of 2:1, specified in technical literature for this product type, means that the tube shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated. This ensures a close fit and secure hold on the protected wiring.

Applications

The shrink tube is suitable for use in electrical installation, IT applications, and industrial environments. It is frequently used for insulating cables, sealing wire connections, colour-coding cables, or creating a watertight seal. The orange colour serves as a visual identifier, standardised in certain application areas, for example to identify control wiring or special functions in electrical installation.

Functions and features in detail

The shrink tube provides mechanical stabilisation of cables, prevents movement of wiring, and protects against external influences. Thermal shrinking is achieved by heating with a hot air blower or another suitable heating device. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters. Packaging in a box (5m) offers practical handling and prevents tangling of the tube during use.

Technology explained simply

The shrink tube consists of a special polymer that changes shape when heated. Heating is achieved using a hot air blower or a similar heating process. Shrinking occurs evenly along the entire length, forming a tight, form-stable sleeve. The orange colour is not only visually identifiable but may also have a functional meaning in certain applications, for example to distinguish wiring with special functions.

Compatibility and accessories

The shrink tube is compatible with a wide range of cables and wiring used in electrical and IT installation. It can be used with various heating devices, such as hot air blowers, to achieve shrinking. The use of shrink tubes is a standard procedure in cable processing, and the Pliofine B-EX 1270 Box (5m) orange is part of this standard equipment.

Installation and mounting

Installation is carried out by sliding the shrink tube over the cables or wiring to be protected. The tube is then heated using a hot air blower or another suitable heating device until it shrinks and forms a tight fit. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows adaptation to various cable diameters. Packaging in a box (5m) facilitates handling and prevents tangling of the tube during use.

Operational advantages

The shrink tube provides reliable insulation and mechanical stabilisation of cables. The orange colour enables easy visual identification, simplifying maintenance and cable identification. The 2:1 shrink ratio ensures flexible adaptation to different cable diameters. Packaging in a box (5m) offers practical handling and prevents tangling of the tube during use.
