Professional FAQs
What is red heat shrink tubing used for?
Professionals use red heat shrink to identify positive or live wires in electrical systems, and to colour-code bundles for clear organisation and safety.
Is it suitable for permanent electrical installations?
Yes – the flame-retardant, RoHS-compliant polyolefin material ensures safe and durable insulation for long-term use in control panels and machinery.
Can it withstand industrial chemicals and oils?
Yes. It’s resistant to hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, and fuels, ideal for workshops, manufacturing, and automotive wiring.
What temperature should I use for shrinking?
Apply even heat at around 80 °C with a professional heat gun to achieve a smooth, tight seal without distortion.
Why use mini reel packaging?
The compact reel keeps tubing tangle-free, clean, and ready to dispense – perfect for electricians and engineers working on site.
