CellPack 144018 Heat-Shrink Tubing, Black, 100 cm

The CellPack 144018 heat-shrink tubing is a professional-grade solution designed for robust electrical insulation and reliable cable protection. This black, medium-wall tubing provides excellent mechanical support and environmental sealing, making it an essential component for maintaining the integrity of wiring systems in demanding conditions. With a length of 100 cm and a pre-shrink diameter of 160 mm, it is engineered to offer superior electrical properties and long-term durability.

Advantages

This heat-shrink tubing offers exceptional resistance to chemical agents and is stabilized against UV radiation, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor environments. Its halogen-free and non-corrosive composition makes it a safe choice for sensitive electrical installations. The material is infusible and thermally stable, providing high tensile strength and resistance to cold flow, which ensures that the connection remains secure and protected against moisture and mechanical pressure over time.

Suitable for

• Electrical insulation of cable joints and terminations
• Protection of cables against moisture and mechanical stress
• Professional electrical installations in industrial and residential settings
• Applications requiring UV-resistant cable management

When it may not be suitable

This tubing is designed for specific diameter ranges and may not be suitable for cables significantly smaller or larger than the specified shrink ratio. It is intended for applications requiring a medium-wall thickness and may be unnecessarily rigid for lightweight, low-voltage electronic hobby projects.

Key specifications

• Type: Medium-wall heat-shrink tubing
• Length: 100 cm
• Diameter before shrinking: 160 mm
• Colour: Black
• Material properties: Halogen-free, non-corrosive, infusible
• Resistance: UV-stabilized, chemical-resistant

How to use

To apply the CellPack 144018 tubing, first ensure the cable surface is clean and free of debris. Measure and cut the tubing to the required length if necessary. Slide the tubing over the area to be protected or the joint to be insulated. Using a heat gun or a controlled heat source, apply heat evenly around the circumference of the tubing, starting from the center and moving towards the ends. Continue heating until the tubing has fully shrunk and conforms tightly to the substrate, ensuring a secure and sealed fit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your cable or joint to ensure it falls within the effective shrink range.
• Confirm that the medium-wall thickness is appropriate for the level of mechanical protection required.
• Ensure the application environment is compatible with the chemical and UV resistance properties of the material.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, always use a calibrated heat gun to ensure uniform heat distribution, which prevents localized overheating and ensures the adhesive, if present, flows correctly to create a moisture-proof seal.
