Product Description

Ensure the longevity and reliability of your marine electrical systems with our Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing. Designed specifically for the demanding conditions of boating environments, this tubing provides superior protection and insulation for your boat’s wiring, safeguarding against moisture, corrosion, and mechanical stress.

Key Features for Marine Applications

  • Durable Material: Crafted from cross-linked polyolefin, our heat shrink tubing boasts superior strength compared to standard PVC, offering enhanced resistance to abrasions and preventing potential fire hazards.
  • Adhesive Lining: The heat-activated adhesive ensures a watertight seal, effectively protecting your wiring from saltwater intrusion, oil leaks, acids, and prolonged exposure to sunlight, while also providing reliable strain relief to prevent wire fatigue.
  • High Shrink Ratio: With a shrink ratio of 3:1, the tubing contracts to one-third of its original diameter, ensuring a tight and secure fit around your cables and connectors for maximum protection.
  • Easy Installation: Shrinks quickly and uniformly at 257°F (125°C), allowing for a straightforward installation process even in tight or hard-to-reach areas on your vessel.
  • Wide Temperature Range: Operates efficiently in extreme temperatures, from -40°C to 110°C, making it ideal for various marine climates and ensuring consistent performance.

Application Tips for Boating

When installing Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing on your boat:

  1. Measure and cut the tubing to the desired length, allowing enough room to cover the entire connection.
  2. Slide the tubing over the wires or connectors before making the final connection.
  3. Use a heat gun to apply even heat around the tubing until it fully shrinks and the adhesive melts, forming a tight seal.
  4. Ensure all connections are secure and free from moisture before applying the tubing for optimal protection.
