Heat shrinkable tubes

Heat shrinkable tubes. What are they and where do we use them?

Heat shrink tube labels are special labels that shrink when heat is applied. These labels are made from heat-shrinkable plastics such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that shrink and set around the object they are applied to when exposed to heat.

These tags are used in a variety of applications, including:

Cable and wire industry: Shrink tube labels are used for labeling cables and wires in the electrical and electronic industry. They can be applied to mark cables and provide information about connections, polarity, voltage and more.

Telecommunications Industry: These labels are used for labeling cables and equipment in the telecommunications industry. They help identify and manage cables in communications networks and other telecom applications.

Automotive Industry: Shrink tube labels are used for labeling wiring harnesses and components in the automotive industry. They offer a solution resistant to harsh environmental conditions and vibrations.

Medical Industry: These labels can be used to label medical equipment and instruments, as well as to mark tubing and other components used in medical applications.

Aerospace and Military: Shrink tube labels are used in the aerospace and military industries for labeling and marking equipment and cables in applications where resistance to extreme conditions and reliability are critical.

Other Industrial Applications: These labels can also be used in other industrial applications, such as in the construction industry, marine industry and other areas where labeling resistant to harsh conditions is required.

In conclusion, shrink tube labels are used in a variety of industries and applications where tough, durable and secure labeling is required in harsh environments or extreme conditions.
