Product Description

Ensure your boat's electrical systems are protected and reliable with our Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing. Specially designed for marine and boating applications, this high-performance tubing offers exceptional resistance to water, salt, and harsh environmental conditions, safeguarding your wiring connections against corrosion and damage.

Product Features

  • Marine-Grade Durability: Constructed from cross-linked polyolefin, this tubing provides superior strength and resilience compared to standard PVC options, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of marine environments.
  • Heat-Activated Adhesive: The adhesive lining melts upon heating, creating a watertight and UV-resistant seal that protects against saltwater, oil, acids, and sunlight, while also offering strain relief to prevent wire breakage.
  • Exceptional Shrink Ratio: Shrinks to one-third of its original diameter (from 1/4" to 5/64"), ensuring a tight and secure fit around various wire sizes, enhancing connection stability.
  • High Shrink Temperature: Activates at 257°F (125°C), providing a reliable and lasting bond even in high-temperature conditions commonly found in marine settings.
  • Wide Operating Range: Functions effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 110°C, making it suitable for diverse marine climates and extreme weather conditions.
  • Certified Safety: UL 224 certified, meeting rigorous industry standards for electrical insulation and safety.
