Professional FAQs
What is brown heat shrink tubing used for?
It’s used by electricians to insulate and identify live (phase) wires in single-phase electrical systems, ensuring safety and easy identification.
Is it suitable for permanent electrical installations?
Yes – made from flame-retardant, RoHS-compliant polyolefin, it provides long-term protection and clear colour coding in control panels and wiring systems.
Can it be used for industrial wiring?
Absolutely. Its high dielectric strength, flexibility, and resistance to oils and fuels make it suitable for industrial and automotive applications.
What temperature should be used to shrink it?
Apply even heat at approximately 80 °C using a professional heat gun for smooth, uniform recovery.
Why use mini reel packaging?
The compact reel keeps tubing clean, organised, and ready to dispense – perfect for toolboxes, site kits, or workshop use.
