HEAT SHRINKABLE TUBING

MATEC Electronics distributes a comprehensive range of products in different heat shrink tubing sizes that meet the highest international standards from its in-house inventory. From coloured heat shrink tubing to adhesive-lined heat shrink tubings,  MATEC offers heat shrink tubing in different colours, sizes, wall thicknesses and materials (Fluoropolymers, Polyolefin, PTFE and many more). We supply heat shrink tubing pre-cut and on reels. Many cables are colour coded or have identification marks printed on them – for example in public buildings like airports and hospitals but also in tunnels and means of transport like rail vehicles, ships and planes. Transparent tubing is often used to insulate wire jackets whilst keeping identifying marks visible. This is known in the trade as oversleeving. 

	Besides black heat shrink tubing MATEC Electronics offers from HellermannTyton a wide range  of coloured heat shrink tubes for visual identification. MATEC Electronics provides the following  colours: Clear-Transparent /White / Red / Orange / Black / Green / Blue
	Printable heat shrink tubing, single wall TF21 tubing is used for clear identification of  conductors, for example to mark live, neutral and earth. TF21 has a low shrink temperature and  is available in many colours and sizes. It is also flame retardant and UL224 VW1 listed. Thanks to  these characteristics, TF21 meets and exceeds lots of industry standards. Another example of a  thin-walled, flexible polyolefin hose is the flame-retardant TR27.
	Adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing is ideal for excellent environmental sealing and durability,  Adhesive-lined heatshrink tubing has an inner layer of flexible glue to seal the outer tubing and  wire jacket against any water ingress. It also gives the electrical application extra mechanical  strength. Adhesive-lined tubing is also known as dual-wall tubing. Because here you have a  combination of a crosslinked outer jacket (Polyolefin) and an inner layer of adhesive. When  heated, the inner adhesive wall melts and flows. This process creates an adhesion layer that  ensures a tight fit to the wire, wire or connector. Glue-lined heat shrink tubing is ideal for  producing strong, weather tight seals with extra mechanical strength and excellent protection  against corrosion.
