But Why Heat Shrink Guide?
Selecting the right heat shrink kit is essential for electrical insulation, environmental protection, and mechanical durability. One critical factor is the shrink ratio, which determines how much the tubing contracts when heat is applied. A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing will shrink to half its original diameter, while higher ratios like 4:1 or 6:1 accommodate irregular shapes and varying diameters.
In this guide, we break down how shrink ratios impact performance, the differences between materials like Polyolefin and PVC, and how to select the best tubing for your application. Learn about installation techniques, performance characteristics, and industry standards to ensure long-term reliability.
