Heat Shrink (18mm - 100cm)

Overview

This 18mm heat shrink tubing is an essential component for any electronics workbench. Designed to provide reliable insulation, mechanical protection, and strain relief for wires, cables, and components, this flexible and flame-retardant tubing is a must-have for makers, engineers, and technicians across Egypt. Whether you're repairing a cable, building a prototype, or finishing a professional installation, this heat shrink ensures a clean, secure, and durable result.

Key Features

• High-Quality Material: Made from flexible, cross-linked polyolefin that is flame-retardant, providing excellent electrical insulation and protection.
• Easy Shrinkage: With a shrink temperature of just 90°C, it shrinks quickly and evenly using a heat gun or lighter.
• Significant Radial Shrinkage: Shrinks to 50% of its original diameter (from 18mm to 9mm), ensuring a tight fit around various wire gauges and components.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably in environments from -55°C to 125°C, suitable for both cold and hot conditions.
• Long Length: Supplied in a 100cm length, giving you plenty of material for multiple projects.
• Flexible and Durable: Remains flexible after shrinking, providing long-lasting protection without cracking or becoming brittle.
