The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX-03 600 from Ses-Sterling is a black-coloured shrink tube packaged on a spool, designed for use in cable and wiring protection technology. It serves for mechanical and electrical insulation of cables, wires, and electrical connections, particularly in applications requiring high resistance to environmental influences. The packaging includes a spool with a length of 75 metres, with a weight of 13 grams per metre. The total weight of the packaging is 0.975 kg.
Shrink tube
The shrink tube B-EX-03 600 is a thermoplastic shrink tube that shrinks to its original length when heated. The shrink ratio is 3:1, meaning the tube reduces its length to one-third when thermally activated. This enables a tight fit around cables or wires, achieving reliable mechanical stabilisation and electrical insulation. The black colour of the tube is suitable for applications requiring high visibility or specific colour coding.
Applications
The shrink tube is intended for use in electrical and IT installations as well as in industrial electrotechnics. It is frequently used for insulating cable connections, shielding wires, or providing a mechanical protective layer during cable installation. Its use is particularly recommended in environments requiring high mechanical durability and resistance to environmental influences such as moisture or dust. The black colour also makes it suitable for applications requiring visual coordination with other components or line identification.
Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube B-EX-03 600 provides reliable shrink performance when heated, achieving a dense and form-stable covering of the protected wires or cables. Thermal activation is achieved by applying heat, for example using a heat gun or a special shrink tool. The 3:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters, with the tube forming a tight fit after shrinking. The black colour is part of the product design and serves for visual identification or optical harmonisation with other components.
Technology explained simply
The shrink tube is made of a thermoplastic material that changes shape and shrinks to its original length when heated. This process is triggered by applying heat, with the temperature needing to be within the shrink temperature range of the material. The 3:1 shrink ratio means the tube reduces its length to one-third, enabling a tight fit around the cable to be protected. The black colour is an integral part of the material and remains intact after the shrinking process. The tube is applied by sliding it over the cable, followed by thermal activation, causing it to shrink and form a tight covering.
Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube B-EX-03 600 is compatible with a wide range of cables and wires, particularly in electrical and IT installations. It can be used with various tools for thermal activation, such as heat guns or special shrink devices. Its use may be combined with other protective and insulating materials, depending on the specific application requirements. The black colour allows for visual coordination with other components or for marking wires.
Installation and mounting
The installation of the shrink tube is performed by sliding it onto the cable or wire to be protected. Subsequently, the tube is thermally activated, causing it to shrink and form a tight fit. Thermal activation is achieved by applying heat, for example using a heat gun or a special shrink device. The 3:1 shrink ratio allows flexible adaptation to different cable diameters. The black colour remains after the shrinking process and serves for visual identification or optical harmonisation.
Operational advantages
The shrink tube B-EX-03 600 provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation for cables and wires. The tight fit after shrinking ensures a stable and dense covering, protecting against mechanical stress and environmental influences. The black colour enables visual identification or optical coordination with other components. The supply on a spool with a length of 75 metres offers high cost-efficiency and suitability for larger installations.
