FAQ
1. What is an ultra thin heat shrink tube?
An ultra thin heat shrink tube is a protective tubing with a very thin wall (as low as 0.1mm) that shrinks when heated to provide insulation, mechanical protection, or bundling.
2. What are the typical applications of ultra thin heat shrink tubing?
It's commonly used in compact electronic assemblies, PCB protection, wire identification, lithium battery packs, medical devices, and miniature components.
3. What is the shrink ratio of the ultra thin heat shrink tube?
Standard shrink ratios include 2:1 and 3:1. Upon heating, the tube shrinks to a predetermined size to fit snugly around the object.
4. What temperature is required to shrink the tube?
Most ultra thin heat shrink tubes begin shrinking around 70°C to 110°C, depending on the material.
5. Is the tubing flame retardant or RoHS compliant?
Yes, many ultra thin heat shrink tubes are made from flame-retardant polyolefin or fluoropolymer and comply with RoHS environmental standards.
6. Can it be customized for size, color, or printing?
Yes, customization options include inner diameter, wall thickness, color coding, and printing for identification purposes.
7. Is the ultra thin heat shrink tube suitable for high-voltage applications?
Due to its minimal thickness, it's ideal for low-voltage and signal-level applications. For high-voltage protection, thicker alternatives are recommended.
8. Can it be used outdoors or in harsh environments?
Select ultra thin tubing variants with UV resistance and waterproof properties are suitable for outdoor or semi-harsh environments.
9. What materials are used in ultra thin heat shrink tubing?
Common materials include cross-linked polyolefin, PTFE, PVDF, and FEP for their flexibility, thermal stability, and dielectric strength.
10. How is ultra thin heat shrink tubing packaged and supplied?
It is usually supplied in reels, spools, or pre-cut lengths depending on the quantity and user requirements.
