Extra-Thick Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Polyolefin Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: 4:1
- Dielectric Strength: 500 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 250° F
- Temperature Range: -65° to 230° F
- Specifications Met: UL Listed, CSA Certified
For better protection against abrasion, tears, and punctures, this tubing has thicker walls than standard tubing. Use it to create tight, custom-fit insulation to protect wire and cable.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to break down. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

Extra-Thick Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Polyolefin Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: 3:1
- Dielectric Strength: 500 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: See Table
- Temperature Range: -65° to 230° F
Extra-thick walls provide better protection against abrasion and tears than standard moisture-seal tubing. It has an adhesive lining that melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal.
Short-length tubing is good for sliding over terminals, wire ferrules, and compression lugs to insulate and protect them.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.

High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing
With excellent resistance to tears, cuts, chemicals, and high temperatures, this tubing withstands demanding use.
PVDF tubing resists cuts from being dragged over rough surfaces, along with tears from stretching or flexing. It has an additive that makes it flame retardant, so it resists combustion and minimizes the spread of flames.
SAE AMS-DTL-23053/8 tubing meets requirements for material quality.
Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

Chemical-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing
Use this tubing where wire and cable may be exposed to chemicals, oil, and acids.
PVC plastic tubing is more chemical resistant than rubber. It also resists UV, so it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight. Store tubing at 70° F or lower to avoid premature shrinkage.
SAE AMS-DTL-23053/1 Class 2, 23053/2 Class 2, and 23053/13 tubing meets requirements for material quality and color.
Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
