The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 1900 Box (3m) 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 orange colour enables easy visual identification in the installation environment, especially in complex cabling systems. The shrink tube is delivered in a box with a length of 3 metres and is specifically designed for use in industrial and technical installations.

Applications

The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX 1900 Box (3m) is suitable for use in electrical installation, IT infrastructure, and industrial automation. It is frequently used for insulating cables, connectors, connection points, or for marking wiring. The orange colour supports quick recognition in cable bundles, facilitating maintenance and fault diagnosis. Due to its shrinking properties, it is particularly suitable for use in areas where a tight, form-stable covering is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The shrink tube features a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning that it reduces to half its original outer diameter when heated. This ensures a tight fit around the cables or wiring to be protected. The material composition provides a firm, tight covering that resists mechanical stress and environmental influences. The orange colour is consistently distributed along the entire length of the tube and remains visible even after the shrinking process.

Technology Explained Simply

The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that shrinks when heated (e.g. with a hot air blower) and tightly conforms to the cable underneath. Shrinking occurs due to heat, which causes the material to return to its original, more compact form. The shrink ratio of 2:1 means that the tube shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated. This allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters within the specified range. The orange colouring is integral to the material and remains visible after shrinking, facilitating identification during operation.

Compatibility and Accessories

The shrink tube is designed for use with standard cables and wiring within the permissible diameter range. It is not specifically intended for particular accessories or tools, but can be processed using common hot air blowers or heat guns. Processing requires no additional adhesives or chemicals. It is used in conjunction with cables requiring mechanical or electrical insulation, particularly in environments with increased stress.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by sliding the shrink tube over the cable or wiring to be protected. It is then evenly heated using a hot air blower or heat gun until it shrinks and forms a firm, tight covering. Heating must be even to avoid uneven shrinking or material damage. Processing requires no additional tools or aids other than the heating device. Shrinking occurs at temperatures typically ranging from 100 to 120 °C, depending on the material composition.

Advantages in Operation

The shrink tube provides a reliable, tight and form-stable covering that resists mechanical stress, moisture and dust. The orange colour enables easy visual identification, facilitating maintenance and fault diagnosis during operation. Processing is simple and requires no additional adhesives or chemicals. Shrinking is even and ensures a durable, tight fit. The product can be used universally in various technical and industrial applications.
