EM Group Heat Shrink Tubing with Adhesive 24/8mm Black

The EM Group heat shrink tubing with adhesive is a professional-grade solution designed for reliable electrical insulation and environmental sealing. Featuring a 3:1 shrink ratio, this tubing transitions from an initial diameter of 24mm down to 8mm, ensuring a tight, secure fit around cables, connectors, and splices. The integrated internal adhesive lining melts during the heating process, creating a robust, moisture-resistant barrier that protects against chemicals, abrasion, and mechanical stress.

Advantages

This heat shrink tubing offers superior protection by combining high-quality polyolefin material with a heat-activated adhesive layer. The adhesive ensures that the tubing remains firmly in place even under vibration or mechanical tension, preventing slippage. Its excellent resistance to moisture and harsh environmental conditions makes it a dependable choice for long-term installations. The 3:1 shrink ratio provides versatility, allowing the tubing to accommodate irregular shapes and varying cable diameters effectively.

Suitable for

• Electrical wiring insulation and cable management
• Cable splicing and joint protection
• Automotive wiring repairs and harness protection
• Industrial equipment maintenance
• Sealing connections against moisture and corrosion

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in high-temperature environments that exceed the thermal rating of the polyolefin material. It should not be used for structural support or in applications where the tubing will be subjected to continuous extreme mechanical friction or sharp edges that could pierce the material.

Key specifications

• Shrink ratio: 3:1
• Initial diameter: 24mm
• Shrunk diameter: 8mm
• Material: Polyolefin with internal adhesive
• Color: Black
• Resistance: Moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress

How to use

To apply the tubing, first cut a piece to the desired length, ensuring it is slightly longer than the area to be covered. Slide the tubing over the cable or connection before making the final electrical termination. Using a heat gun or a similar controlled heat source, apply heat evenly around the circumference of the tubing, starting from the center and moving toward the ends. Continue heating until the tubing has fully shrunk and the adhesive can be seen flowing slightly at the edges, indicating a proper seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 24mm initial diameter is sufficient to slide over your specific connector or cable bundle.
• Verify that the 8mm final diameter will provide a snug fit on your target cable.
• Confirm that the application environment does not exceed the temperature limits of the material.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always use a heat gun with a temperature-controlled nozzle to prevent overheating or burning the tubing. Allow the connection to cool completely before moving or applying mechanical stress to ensure the adhesive has fully cured and bonded to the surface.
