The shrink tube Pliofine B-EX-03 2400 from Ses-Sterling is a black-coloured shrink tube supplied on a reel, intended for use in electrical and IT installations. It serves for mechanical and electrical insulation of cables, wires, and connections, particularly in applications requiring high resistance to environmental influences. The packaging contains 30 metres of the tube, which, with a weight of 42.97 g per metre, offers a balanced combination of strength and ease of handling.

Shrink tube
The shrink tube B-EX-03 2400 is a thermoplastic shrink tube that, when heated to approximately 100 °C to 120 °C, maintains its original length but reduces its diameter by a ratio of 3:1. This means that a tube with an original inner diameter of 3 mm reaches a diameter of approximately 1 mm after shrinking. This property enables a tight fit around cables or wires, ensuring reliable mechanical stabilisation and electrical insulation. Shrinking is achieved by heat, for example, using a hot air blower or a special shrinking device.

Applications
The shrink tube is suitable for use in industrial and technical installations, particularly in areas where high mechanical load resistance and resistance to moisture, dust, and chemical influences are required. It is frequently used for sealing cable entries, insulating solder joints, marking wires, or protecting electrical connections. The black colour allows for discreet integration into technical installations and is also clearly visible during maintenance work.

Functions and equipment in detail
The shrink tube B-EX-03 2400 offers high mechanical strength and is resistant to UV radiation, making it suitable for outdoor use. The material composition ensures good heat resistance and chemical resistance, allowing it to be used even in environments with increased requirements for material stability. The reel packaging facilitates handling and enables continuous processing without frequent cutting.

Technology explained simply
The shrink tube functions through thermal deformation: when heated, the material contracts, tightly wrapping around the cable or wire to be protected. The 3:1 shrink ratio means the tube reduces to one-third of its original diameter. This provides a tight, shape-stable covering that protects against mechanical damage, moisture, and electrical short circuits. The black colour is not only aesthetic but also functional, as it resists UV radiation and thus extends the tube's lifespan outdoors.

Compatibility and accessories
The shrink tube is compatible with common hot air blowers and shrinking devices designed for processing shrink tubes. It can be combined with other products from the Pliofine series to meet various insulation and protection requirements. The use of shrink tubes requires no additional adhesives or fastening elements, as the shrinking process itself creates a secure bond.

Installation and mounting
Installation is performed by sliding the tube onto the cable or wire to be protected, followed by heating with a hot air blower. The temperature should be between 100 °C and 120 °C to ensure even shrinking. The length of the tube should be chosen so that it fully covers the area to be protected. After shrinking, the tube remains in its new shape and provides a permanent protective function.

Advantages in operation
The shrink tube B-EX-03 2400 provides reliable and durable protection for electrical connections. Its high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences ensure a long service life. The easy handling and reel packaging simplify daily use. The black colour ensures discreet integration into technical installations without impairing visibility for maintenance work.
