Heat Shrink
Protect, insulate and organise wires and electrical connections with heat shrink tubing from Raptor Industrial & Safety. Available in regular and glue lined options, our heat shrink tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio and is available in a range of sizes for electrical, automotive, industrial and trade applications.
Heat shrink provides a neat, close fitting layer of insulation and protection around wires, cable joins, terminals and other components.
Raptor heat shrink tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning the tubing can reduce to approximately half its supplied diameter when correctly heated.
When selecting a size, consider the diameter of the component or cable being covered as well as the final recovered diameter. The tubing needs to fit over the component during installation while shrinking tightly enough to provide the required coverage.
Heat shrink tubing is available in different diameters to suit a range of cable and electrical applications.
Regular heat shrink tubing provides electrical insulation and protection around wires, cable joins and connections. It is a practical solution for creating a neat finish while helping protect components from abrasion and general environmental exposure.
It can be used for cable identification, wire bundling, strain relief and general electrical protection.
Glue lined heat shrink tubing combines heat shrink protection with an internal adhesive lining. When heated, the tubing shrinks around the component while the adhesive melts to help create a more secure seal.
This makes glue lined heat shrink particularly useful where additional protection against moisture, movement and environmental exposure is required.
Heat shrink tubing is commonly used for:
Choosing the correct diameter is important for achieving a secure fit. The tubing should be large enough to slide over the cable, connection or component before heating, while still being capable of shrinking sufficiently to create a close fit.
Consider the diameter of the item being covered, the required recovered diameter and whether additional space is needed to pass the tubing over connectors or joins.
For applications where additional sealing and environmental protection is required, glue lined heat shrink may be the better option.
Raptor heat shrink products are designed for a range of electrical and cable protection applications. Product specifications can vary between heat shrink types, so always check the individual product details for shrink temperature, operating temperature and other performance characteristics before use.
Where applicable, Raptor heat shrink tubing provides a shrink temperature of approximately 90°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 135°C.
Raptor Industrial & Safety supplies heat shrink tubing for Australian electrical, automotive, industrial and trade applications.

Heat shrink tubing is used to insulate, protect and organise wires, cables, joins and electrical connections. It can also be used for strain relief, cable identification and protection against abrasion and environmental exposure.
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the heat shrink tubing can reduce to approximately half of its supplied diameter when heated correctly. For example, tubing with a 10 mm supplied diameter can shrink to approximately 5 mm.
Regular heat shrink provides insulation and protection around cables and connections. Glue lined heat shrink also contains an adhesive lining that melts when heated, helping create a more secure seal around the component.
Choose tubing that can fit over the largest part of the cable, connection or component before shrinking, while ensuring its recovered diameter will provide a close fit after heating. Always check the product specifications for the available shrink dimensions.
