Heat Shrink Tubing | PASS | Insulation & Protection Solutions for Multiple Industries
Product Overview
PASS heat shrink tubing is manufactured from premium cross-linked polyolefins and other specialized polymers. When heat is applied, our tubing shrinks radially to a predetermined size, forming a tight, protective seal. We offer a comprehensive range of shrink ratios, sizes, and material formulations to meet specific requirements for dielectric strength, temperature resistance, chemical resilience, and mechanical protection. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent shrinkage and performance.
Key Features & Benefits
● Excellent Environmental Sealing: Creates a tight barrier against moisture, chemicals, dust, and abrasion, significantly extending the life of wires and components.
● High Dielectric Strength: Provides superior electrical insulation, preventing short circuits and improving the safety and reliability of electrical assemblies.
● Strain & Abrasion Resistance: Reinforces connection points and protects against wear and tear from vibration, friction, and impact in demanding applications.
● Durable Identification: Available in a wide range of permanent colors for clear, color-coded wire and component identification that lasts the life of the product.
● Wide Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably in both extreme cold and high-heat environments, with some formulations stable from -55°C to over 175°C.
● Flame Retardancy: Many of our standard tubes are compliant with UL 224 and VW-1 flame retardancy standards, enhancing safety in electrical applications.
