Why Choose This Heat Shrink Tubing?
- 2:1 Shrink Ratio: Shrinks to half its original diameter when heat is applied, creating a secure, snug fit over connectors, splices, and wire ends.
- Crystal-Clear Transparency: The clear polyolefin material lets you see the underlying wire or connector without removing the sleeve — ideal for colour-coded or labelled cables.
- Wide Size Range: Comes in diameters from 1mm up to 10mm, making it suitable for a broad range of applications — from delicate electronics to heavier gauge wiring.
- Premium Polyolefin (PE) Material: Flame-retardant, flexible, and resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV — ensuring long-lasting protection in demanding environments.
- 5 Metres Per Roll: Plenty of tubing to tackle multiple projects without running out mid-job.
- Easy to Use: Simply slide over the wire or connector and apply gentle heat with a heat gun, lighter, or hair dryer to achieve a tight, professional finish.
- Customisable: Can be cut to any length required, giving you full control over your wiring projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What sizes of heat shrink tubing are available in this pack?
A: This transparent polyolefin heat shrink tubing is available in diameters ranging from 1mm to 10mm, including 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. Each option comes as a 5-metre roll, giving you plenty of sleeving for multiple projects.
Q: What heat source do I need to shrink this tubing?
A: You can use a dedicated heat gun for the best results, but a hair dryer on its highest setting or even a lighter held at a safe distance will also work. Apply heat evenly around the tubing to achieve a uniform, snug fit without burning the material.
Q: Is this heat shrink tubing waterproof or moisture-resistant?
A: While this standard 2:1 polyolefin heat shrink tubing offers good moisture resistance for general insulation and protection purposes, it is not a fully adhesive-lined waterproof sleeve. For submersion or heavy moisture-exposure applications, consider using an adhesive-lined (3:1) heat shrink variant instead.
Q: Can I cut the tubing to custom lengths?
A: Yes — simply cut the 5-metre roll to any length you need using scissors or a craft knife. The polyolefin material cuts cleanly and does not fray, making it easy to prepare precisely sized pieces for your wiring projects.
