#6 Heat Shrink Tubing

Heat shrink tubing is a type of shrinkable plastic tube, typically made from materials such as polyolefin, PVC, or fluoropolymer, which shrinks radially (but not lengthwise) when exposed to heat. It is widely used in electrical and electronic applications to insulate, protect, and reinforce wires, cables, and components.When heat is applied—commonly using a heat gun, oven, or even a lighter in some cases—the tubing contracts and tightly conforms to the shape of the object it covers, creating a protective and insulating layer. This process helps shield wires and components from abrasion, moisture, dust, chemicals, and mechanical stress, and can also be used for bundling multiple wires together or for color-coding and identification purposes
