Sealed and Protected With Heat Shrink Tubing

Whether designing for harsh outdoor environments or the home, design engineers across industries need ways to insulate components against heat and electric current, provide strain relief for connectors and splices, and protect and seal against water ingress, chemicals and abrasions. Heat shrink tubing can be the versatile choice to solve all these design challenges efficiently. It can also provide cosmetic improvement and organize and identify different wires and components quickly. Many design engineers and manufacturers may not realize that tubing can be used just as effectively—and often more effectively—as a protective cover, insulator, noise reducer and more in many applications and industries.
