General
Colour	Red

The Pliofine B-EX 2540 Box (2m) red shrink tube 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 red-coloured version enables easy visual identification in cabling areas, especially in complex systems or for distinguishing different wiring functions.

Applications

The shrink tube is designed for use in industrial and commercial installations where reliable insulation and protective functions are required. It is particularly suitable for covering cables, wiring, and connections exposed to increased mechanical or chemical stress. The red colour serves as a visual marking, for example, for wiring with special functions or to distinguish from other cables in a system. The length of 2 metres per box provides sufficient material for typical installations without frequent interruptions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The shrink tube features a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it reduces to half its original outer diameter when heated. This ensures a tight, form-stable fit around the cables or wiring to be protected. The material properties provide a dense covering that effectively prevents mechanical damage, moisture, and dust. The red colour is durable and remains clearly visible even under prolonged operational stress.

Technology Explained Simply

When heated with a hot air blower or a special shrinking tool, the tube contracts and tightly conforms to the underlying cable. This process creates a dense, form-stable covering that protects the cables from external influences. The 2:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters, with the final fit remaining stable after shrinking.

Compatibility and Accessories

The shrink tube is suitable for use with standard cables and wiring in electrical and IT applications. It can be processed with various heating devices, such as hot air blowers or special shrinking tools. The packaging unit includes a box containing 2 metres of shrink tube.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by sliding the shrink tube onto the cable or wiring to be protected. It is then heated using a hot air blower or shrinking tool, causing it to contract and form a tight, form-stable fit. The steps are simple and require no special tools other than the heating device.

The packaging unit includes a box containing 2 metres of shrink tube.

Operational Advantages

The shrink tube provides a reliable, durable protective function for cables and wiring. The tight fit after shrinking ensures a mechanically stable covering that protects against contamination, moisture, and mechanical stress. The red colour simplifies identification and marking within the system, making maintenance and fault diagnosis easier. The length of 2 metres per box enables efficient processing without frequent interruptions.
