Heat Shrink Tubing for Insulation

Heat shrink tubing is the safest and most durable method to insulate electrical wires at splices or solder points. The tubing is available in many bright colours, making it easier to incorporate into your wiring diagrams for quick identification. East Coast Cable Ties stocks several sizes and colours of heat shrink tubing in various materials tested for Australian conditions.

Its application is a skill quickly learned as the tubing shrinks when applying a temperature of ±95°C. The correct temperature source is a heat gun, but some tradies use a lighter. This is not recommended, as the tubing and surrounding components can burn.

Our standard heat shrink tubing suits most tasks, while our thicker dual-wall heat shrink tubing provides more insulation and added strength. All our dual wall heat shrink is lined with adhesive to ensure effective sealing. Order your lengths or rolls today.
