Cable Heat Shrink

Cable Heat Shrink is used to provide environmental protection for electrical connections. Heat shrink is easily slid over cable; however, when heat is applied, the tube contracts to tightly fit around the cable. Many different plastics are used, including PFTE, PVC, and Silicon Rubber. Each offers different ranges in operating temperature, chemical reactivity, and abrasion resistance.
