Types and uses of transparent heat shrink tubing
Product Guide · Heat Shrink Tube · Clear
There are various types of transparent heat shrink tubing available.
Conclusion: You can choose the optimal product depending on your purpose, such as transparency, heat resistance, and waterproofness.
Transparent heat shrink tubing is used in various applications. In this article, we will introduce three types of transparent heat shrink tubing that can be selected according to purpose.
When you want to check the soldering condition
Transparent heat shrink tubing is used to check the condition of soldering in wire processing and electronic component processing. In addition to soldering, it is widely used in cases where the contents need to be checked, such as for corrosion prevention of mechanical parts, securing connections, and fixing displays and nameplates.
Recommended · Transparent tubing for normal temperatures
THT Tube
A classic transparent heat shrink tubing characterized by its wide range of sizes and ease of processing.
-
1
Abundant sizes: Available in sizes from 1φ to 100φ. Supports a wide range of applications from small to large diameters.
-
2
Can also be cut: Its high workability, allowing it to be cut with scissors, is attractive. We also support delivery of products cut to specified lengths (THT cut service).
When waterproofing is required
When used for protecting outdoor wiring, waterproofing is also required in addition to transparency. For equipment continuously exposed outdoors (construction vehicles, solar power generation equipment, surveillance cameras, etc.), it is important to achieve both waterproofing of connections and visibility during inspection. By adopting transparent and waterproof tubing, the condition of the cable can be checked without removing the tubing.
Recommended · Waterproof/Outdoor Transparent Tube
CCN Tube
This outdoor-compatible tube features a built-in adhesive for waterproofing and high yield in 50m fixed lengths.
-
1
Adhesive is applied to prevent water intrusion: When shrunk, the adhesive inside the tube melts, filling the gap between the covered object and the tube to form a waterproof seal.
-
2
Reduces yield loss with fixed lengths of 50m and above: Improves yield during processing compared to other companies' 3m and 5m products. Also supports cutting processing from 1m and above.
When heat resistance is required
In cases where the surrounding environment becomes hot, it may still be necessary to check the condition of the covered areas. For temperature sensor cables, high heat resistance is required for protecting the sensor base and at connection points.
Recommended · Transparent tube for heat resistance/high temperature environment
HC150 Tube
This high-performance tube is made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and combines high transparency with excellent heat and abrasion resistance.
-
1
High transparency due to PVDF: Achieves very high transparency with a wall thickness of approximately 0.2mm after shrinkage. Allows clear confirmation of internal conditions even after covering.
-
2
High abrasion resistance in addition to heat resistance: Semi-rigid PVDF has higher durability than polyolefin, demonstrating excellent resistance to mechanical vibrations and friction.
