Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the shrink ratio of this heat shrink tubing? A: The heat shrink tubing has a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it shrinks to half of its original diameter.
- Q: What is the maximum temperature the tubing can withstand? A: The maximum continuous use temperature of this tubing is 135°C (275°F).
- Q: Is this heat shrink tubing flame retardant? A: Yes, the tubing is highly flame retardant and meets UL224 standards, rated for temperatures up to 125°C.
- Q: What applications is this heat shrink tubing suitable for? A: This tubing is suitable for various applications, including electrical insulation, strain relief, cable bonding, color-coding, wire marking, corrosion protection, solder insulation, and wire bundling.
- Q: Is this product RoHS compliant? A: Yes, this heat shrink tubing is RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets environmental safety standards.
- Q: Can this tubing be used for outdoor applications? A: While suitable for many applications, the tubing's performance in outdoor conditions may be limited by factors such as UV exposure and moisture; it is primarily designed for electrical insulation.
- Q: How do I install the heat shrink tubing? A: To install, slide the tubing over the desired area and apply heat using a heat gun or lighter until it shrinks snugly around the object.
- Q: What material is this heat shrink tubing made from? A: This heat shrink tubing is made from high-quality flexible polyolefin material.
- Q: What is the voltage rating of this heat shrink tubing? A: The tubing has a voltage rating of 600V, making it suitable for various electrical applications.
- Q: How do I choose the right size of heat shrink tubing? A: Choose a size that is slightly larger than the diameter of the object you intend to insulate; the tubing should fit snugly after shrinking.
