The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX-03 300 from Ses-Sterling is a black-coloured, thermally shrinkable protective tube intended for use in electrical and IT installations. It is supplied on a reel with a length of 150 metres and serves for mechanical and electrical insulation of cables, wires, and electrical connections. The packaging includes a reel with 150 m of tube, with a weight of 5.54 g per metre. The total weight of the packaging is 0.831 kg.

Shrink tube is a thermoplastic material that shrinks back to its original, smaller form when heated. This tube has a shrink ratio of 3:1, meaning it shrinks to one-third of its original outer diameter when heated, for example, with a hot air blower or a special shrinking device. The shrinking effect ensures a tight, form-stable fit around the protected wires, achieving a dense covering.

Protective function is achieved through the material properties and thermal deformation. The tube protects against mechanical influences such as scratches or pressure, as well as against moisture and dust. The black colour is not only visually uniform but can also serve as identification for specific applications, particularly in industrial electrical installations. Typical uses include wiring of cables, shielding of connections, or marking of wires.

Applications include electrical installations in buildings, industrial plants, machine construction, and IT infrastructure. The shrink tube is frequently used in wiring of plug connections, cable bundles, or for insulating solder joints. Use in industrial electrical engineering often requires high mechanical stability and resistance to environmental influences, for which this tube is suitable.

Technology explained simply – the shrink tube is slipped over the wire to be protected and then heated. The material contracts and forms a tight fit around the wire. The heat source can be a hot air blower, a special shrinking device, or a heat lamp. Shrinking occurs evenly, creating a dense, form-stable covering. The material properties ensure that the tube retains its shape after shrinking and does not re-expand.

Compatibility and accessories – the shrink tube is designed for use with cables and wires whose diameter falls within the shrinking range. It is not specifically designed for particular accessories or tools, although in practice it is often used with hot air blowers or shrinking devices to achieve shrinking. Use does not depend on special tools, although the application of heat is essential.

Installation and mounting is done by simply slipping the tube over the wire to be protected and then heating it. The heat source must be directed evenly onto the tube to ensure uniform shrinking. It is important not to apply heat too intensely or for too long to avoid damaging the material. Installation requires no additional tools or aids, except for the heat source.

Operational advantages include easy handling, high mechanical stability after shrinking, and dense coverage. The tube ensures neat, professional wiring and protects wires from external influences. The black colour enables uniform visual design of wiring, which is particularly advantageous in industrial environments. Use in large quantities (150 m per reel) is suitable for projects with high consumption, such as building installations or machine wiring.

The packaging contains exclusively the reel with 150 m of shrink tube. The specifications refer exclusively to the supplied shrink tube in the described version.
