- Shrink Ratio: 2:1
- Shrink Temperature: 80 °C
- Operating Temperature: –55 °C to +125 °C
- Wall Thickness (after recovery): ±0.10 mm (±0.15 mm for 25.4 mm size)
- Flame Retardant: Yes
- Chemical Resistance: Fuel, hydraulic fluid, and lubricating oil
- Transparency: Allows identification markings to remain visible
- Packaging: Compact mini reel – convenient for site or workshop use
Professional Clarity and Protection
Clear heat shrink tubing is widely used by electricians, engineers, and installers who require secure insulation without hiding identification markers. It’s ideal for situations where printed numbers, wire colours, or coded labels must remain visible for future maintenance or inspection.
The transparent finish allows for immediate visual confirmation of wire condition and termination quality while providing the same high-performance insulation as coloured tubing.
Trade Applications
- Electrical insulation where identification must remain visible
- Protection for labelled or colour-coded cables and connectors
- Wire bundling and organisation in control panels
- Strain relief and abrasion protection for professional installations
- Transparent covering for printed tags or cable markers

Professional FAQs
Why use clear heat shrink tubing?
It provides full insulation and strain relief while keeping printed labels, wire colours, or marker tags visible — essential for traceability and maintenance.
Is it suitable for permanent electrical installations?
Yes. Clear tubing meets professional electrical standards, offering high dielectric strength and flame retardancy for permanent wiring, control panels, and assemblies.
Can I use clear heat shrink for wire identification?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for protecting printed cable markers or coloured wires while keeping them readable after shrinking.
What temperature should be used for shrinking?
Apply even heat at approximately 80 °C using a professional heat gun. The tubing will recover smoothly for a clean, uniform seal.
Does clear tubing offer the same protection as coloured versions?
Yes. It provides identical mechanical strength, insulation, and chemical resistance as coloured polyolefin tubing — only the colour differs.
