Please explain the Inside Diameter, Expanded (IDe) and the Inside Diameter, Recovered (IDr)?

To select the appropriate Heat Shrink Tubing Products, choose an expanded inside diameter (IDe) that easily slides over the largest dimension of the wire bundle, targeting about 10% oversizing. Forcing the tubing can cause damage and may require the next available size if interference occurs. For the recovered inside diameter (IDr), select a size smaller than the wire bundle’s diameter, aiming for about 10% undersizing, to ensure an effective seal, as an IDr larger than the bundle will not seal properly.

What is the importance of Splice Design?

Splicing wires to form common circuits is an effective way to reduce cost, weight, and complexity, but improper splices can create costly failure points. Adhesive-lined Heat Shrink Tubing Products help seal out moisture and contaminants, preventing premature failure. For more complex splices, design considerations such as total wire count, balance, and cross-sectional area must be carefully evaluated to ensure reliability.

What is the difference between single wall and dual wall heat shrink tubing?

Our Heat Shrink Tubing Products come in two main types. Single wall tubing consists of a single layer of material and provides good insulation and abrasion resistance. Dual wall tubing, also known as adhesive-lined tubing, has an inner layer of adhesive that melts and seals the connection, providing a waterproof and corrosion-proof barrier.

What are some tips for proper and consistent heat shrink tubing application?

Proper application of Heat Shrink Tubing Products requires controlled temperature and time to effectively shrink the tubing and ensure adhesive flow, while avoiding overheating that can cause burning or adhesive dripping. Acceptable heat sources include heat guns, ovens, or specialized HST processing machines. Direct open flames should not be used, and all equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated, following the manufacturer’s instructions for consistent outcomes.

Is your heat shrink tubing RoHS compliant?

Yes, Eurotech offers numerous Heat Shrink Tubing Products that are RoHS compliant, meaning they are free of hazardous substances. Additionally, we have models that meet standards for UL, Halogen Free, REACH, ELV, and SAE.

ISO 9001 & TS16949 Certified Manufacturing

Our facilities and processes are fully compliant with TS16949 and ISO 9001 quality systems. This is more than just a certification; it’s a guarantee that every one of our heat shrink tubing products is produced with precision and care.

ISO 9001 ensures that we have a robust quality management system in place, focusing on customer satisfaction and continual improvement in every aspect of our operations.
TS16949 is the global technical specification and quality management standard for the automotive industry. Compliance demonstrates our ability to prevent defects, reduce variation, and eliminate waste in the supply chain.

UL224 and MIL-Spec Approved Heat Shrink Tubing Products

Furthermore, we offer heat shrink tubing products designed to meet or surpass UL224 and MIL approval requirements. This signifies that our tubes have undergone rigorous testing for safety, flame resistance, dielectric strength, and performance in harsh conditions, making them suitable for even the most critical military, defense, and industrial applications.

A Comprehensive Range of Heat Shrink Tubing Products for Every Application

No two manufacturing applications are exactly alike. Recognizing this, Eurotech offers a broad and versatile catalog of heat shrink tubing products to provide the perfect fit for any project. Our catalog features a complete lineup of options, ensuring that engineers can select the precise diameter and shrink ratio needed for their specific components.

Our primary offerings include both single and dual wall heat shrink tubing, each designed for distinct protective purposes.

Single Wall Heat Shrink Tubing

This is the workhorse for wire and cable management. Known for its flexibility and excellent electrical insulation properties, our single wall tubing provides robust protection against abrasion, minor impacts, and environmental factors. It is the ideal solution for bundling wires, color-coding for identification, insulating splices, and providing effective strain relief for terminals and connectors.

Dual Wall (Adhesive-Lined) Heat Shrink Tubing

For applications requiring an impenetrable, watertight seal against the elements, our dual wall heat shrink tubing products are the ultimate solution. This advanced product features an inner layer of specially formulated adhesive that melts and flows when heated. As the outer wall shrinks, the adhesive creates a complete environmental bond to the underlying component. This seal offers unparalleled protection against moisture, chemicals, and corrosion, making it essential for connections exposed to harsh outdoor or industrial environments.

Powering Innovation with Versatile Heat Shrink Tubing Products

The reliability and versatility of Eurotech’s heat shrink tubing products make them an essential component across a wide spectrum of industries.
