Automotive Heat Shrink Tubing Buying Guide

The material of a heat shrink tubing solution determines its properties and suitability for different applications.

Jacket Materials Here are some common materials used in automotive heat shrink tubing:

• Polyolefin-Crosslinked
• Elastomeric Polymer
• Fluoro-Elastomer
• Kynar

Adhesive Materials & Characteristics The material and characteristics of the adhesive in dual wall heat shrink tubing solutions are critical when selecting the proper model for your application. Below are some typical materials and characteristics.

• High Viscosity / Low Viscosity Adhesive
• Polyamide
• Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate
• Isobutylene Rubber

2. Shrink Ratios

The shrink ratio indicates how much the tubing will shrink when heated. The most common shrink ratios for automotive use are:

• 2:1: This is the most common shrink ratio. It will shrink to half of its original diameter and is suitable for most applications where the objects being covered have a relatively uniform shape.
• 3:1: This ratio is ideal for covering irregular shapes and connectors, as it can shrink to one-third of its original diameter.
• 4:1 and Higher: These higher shrink ratios are used for applications where there is a large difference in the diameter of the objects being covered.

3. Operating Temperature Ranges

Automotive environments can experience extreme temperatures. It’s important to choose a heat shrink tubing solution with an operating temperature range that can withstand these conditions. Check the product specifications for the minimum and maximum operating temperatures to ensure it will perform reliably in your application.

4. Certifications and Standards

For professional applications, it’s important to use heat shrink tubing solutions that meet relevant industry standards. Look for solutions that are compliant with:

• UL (Underwriters Laboratories)
• Halogen Free
• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
• REACH
• ELV
• SAE

By considering these factors, you can choose the right automotive heat shrink tubing solution for your project and ensure a reliable and long-lasting electrical connection.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Frequently Asked Questions

[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”Please explain the Inside Diameter, Expanded (IDe) and the Inside Diameter, Recovered (IDr)?”]To select the appropriate Heat Shrink Tubing Solutions, choose an expanded inside diameter (IDe) that easily slides over the largest dimension of the wire bundle, targeting about 10% oversizing. Forcing the tubing can cause damage and may require the next available size if interference occurs. For the recovered inside diameter (IDr), select a size smaller than the wire bundle’s diameter, aiming for about 10% undersizing, to ensure an effective seal, as an IDr larger than the bundle will not seal properly.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the importance of Splice Design?”]Splicing wires to form common circuits is an effective way to reduce cost, weight, and complexity, but improper splices can create costly failure points. Adhesive-lined Heat Shrink Tubing Solutions help seal out moisture and contaminants, preventing premature failure. For more complex splices, design considerations such as total wire count, balance, and cross-sectional area must be carefully evaluated to ensure reliability.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the difference between single wall and dual wall heat shrink tubing?”]Our Heat Shrink Tubing Solutions come in two main types. Single wall tubing consists of a single layer of material and provides good insulation and abrasion resistance. Dual wall tubing, also known as adhesive-lined tubing, has an inner layer of adhesive that melts and seals the connection, providing a waterproof and corrosion-proof barrier.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are some tips for proper and consistent heat shrink tubing application?”]Proper application of Heat Shrink Tubing Solutions requires controlled temperature and time to effectively shrink the tubing and ensure adhesive flow, while avoiding overheating that can cause burning or adhesive dripping. Acceptable heat sources include heat guns, ovens, or specialized HST processing machines. Direct open flames should not be used, and all equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated, following the manufacturer’s instructions for consistent outcomes.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is your heat shrink tubing RoHS compliant?”]Yes, Eurotech offers numerous Heat Shrink Tubing Solutions that are RoHS compliant, meaning they are free of hazardous substances. Additionally, we have models that meet standards for UL, Halogen Free, REACH, ELV, and SAE.[/vc_toggle][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
