The Pliofine B-EX-03 300 Spule weiß from Ses-Sterling is a heat shrink tube specifically developed for use in electrical and IT installations. It serves for mechanical and electrical insulation of cables, wiring, and electrical connections. The heat shrink tube is supplied on a reel with a length of 150 meters and is available in the color white. It is suitable for use in installations requiring enhanced protection ratings, particularly in areas where high mechanical load capacity and resistance to environmental influences are required.

Applications

The heat shrink tube B-EX-03 300 is used in industrial electrical installations, automation technology, as well as in building and transport infrastructure. It is particularly suitable for protecting cables in machines, systems, and control systems where permanent insulation and mechanical stabilization are required. Its use is common in environments with increased mechanical stress, such as production facilities, vehicles, or outdoor areas, where the tube provides protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical impacts.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The heat shrink tube features a shrink ratio of 3:1, meaning it reduces to one-third of its original outer diameter when thermally activated. This enables a tight fit around the cables to be protected and ensures a secure, tight covering. The white color supports visual identification and is standard in many technical installations. Packaging in the form of a 150-meter reel allows for efficient handling and storage, especially in larger installations.

Technology Explained Simply

The heat shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that changes shape and shrinks when heated (e.g., with a hot air gun). This process results in a dense, shape-stable covering of the underlying wiring. The 3:1 shrink ratio ensures that the tube achieves sufficient fit even with larger cable diameters. Thermal activation is achieved by targeted heat application, with temperature and heating duration adjusted according to material and environment. The use of a heating device is common to ensure uniform and controlled shrinking.

Compatibility and Accessories

The heat shrink tube B-EX-03 300 is compatible with a wide range of cables and wiring, especially in industrial electrical installations. It can be combined with other heat shrink tubes from the same product series to cover different diameters and requirements. Use in combination with other protective materials, such as heat shrink tube sections or cable ties, is possible to achieve additional stability or mechanical fixation. The exact selection depends on the specific requirements of the respective installation.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by sliding the heat shrink tube onto the cable to be protected, followed by thermal activation. It is essential to ensure that the tube is fully pulled over the area to be insulated. Heating is done using a hot air gun or similar device, with the temperature adjusted so that the tube shrinks evenly without burning. Installation requires no additional tools or adhesives, as the shrinking process itself creates the tight connection. Processing typically requires no additional aids, although handling the 150-meter reel may require planning.

The packaging weight is 83.1 kg, attributable to the total mass of the 150-meter reel and packaging materials. The weight per meter is 554 g, reflecting the material density and stability of the heat shrink tube. These specifications are relevant for storage and transport, especially for larger quantities.

Advantages in Operation

The heat shrink tube provides durable, shape-stable insulation that resists mechanical stress and environmental influences. The 3:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to various cable diameters, enabling use in different applications. The white color supports visual inspection and identification in complex installations. Packaging in a 150-meter reel enables economical and efficient handling, especially in larger projects. Thermal activation requires no additional adhesives, simplifying installation and ensuring long-term stability of the connection.
