PVC Heat Shrink Tubing
Our PVC heat shrink tubing has a low shrink temperature and superior strength. Both our thin wall heat shrink tubing and medium wall heat shrink tubing have been engineered for total compatibility with PVC jacketed wire and cable to insulate, identify, bundle, protect, repair and beautify in electronic, electrical and mechanical applications. Our crystal clear heat shrink tubing and all assorted heat shrink tubing colors are UL-VW-1 flame retardant, with outstanding chemical and UV resistance. UV protective additives makes PVC tubing ideal for outdoor applications.

PVC Common Applications
- Applications requiring smooth, tight-fitting, aesthetic coverings, especially for products with irregular shapes
- Protecting products - outdoors and indoors - from UV light, fading, harsh chemicals, chlorinated cleansers, moisture, salt water, fungus, dirt, abrasion and splintering
- Providing “crystal clear” see-through protection that will not become cloudy, yellow or crack over time
- The preferred choice for use with PVC wire and cable
- Insulation and strain relief of wire harnesses, terminals and wire splices
- Applications requiring outstanding dielectric and mechanical protection without damage to enclosed or adjacent components or underlying material
- Identifying and color coding wires, cables, piping, machinery, parts, etc
- Ultra thin wall for battery and pharmaceutical usages
