The correct use of heat shrinkable tubing and introduction to common problems

Heat-shrinkable tubes are widely used in various fields. Heat-shrinkable tubes have many advantages. For example, they have the function of insulation and waterproofing. They will automatically shrink at high temperatures and have good waterproof performance. The adhesion is also relatively high. For some novices, you may not use heat shrinkable tubes. In fact, generally speaking, the use of heat shrinkable tubes is relatively simple. Next, I will introduce to you how to use heat shrinkable tubes correctly and other common problems. question.

How to use the heat Shrink Tube
1. Heat-shrinkable tubes with less shrinkage can be heated and shrunk with heating tools such as alcohol lamps, industrial heat guns, industrial heat guns + compressed air, etc.
2. Heat-shrinkable tubes, if there is a lot of shrinkage, you can use water boiling or steam heating oven + conveyor belt, drying room, Heat Shrinkable Tube machine and other tools to heat shrink
3. The use of the heat shrinkable tube is very simple, and it is generally enough to heat it up. For example, when we use it normally, we can use the hot air of a hair dryer to heat it, but we should pay attention to the heat shrinkable tube of the sleeve not to be too thick and not to use adhesive tape inside. But be careful not to let the wire end pierce the heat shrinkable tube, and put another layer if necessary
4. Sometimes some people use a lighter to heat, ignite the lighter, put the shrink tube into the flame, and the flame moves back and forth along the axis of the tube for 2 or 3 seconds. If the heat-shrinkable tube is thicker and longer, the baking time should be extended as appropriate, and the heating should be done from the middle to both ends. In fact, there is no skill at all. Just try it and you will know, as long as you don`t burn it.
Heat Shrink Tubing FAQs
1. What are the characteristics of heat shrinkable tubes
The heat-shrinkable tube is a special polyolefin heat-shrinkable sleeve, which usually starts to shrink when heated at 125°. It is soft and elastic, and the heat-shrinkable sleeve is a special polyolefin material. The heat-shrinkable sleeve can also be made of EVA material.
2. What are the materials and types of heat shrinkable tubes?
The materials of heat shrinkable tubes are mainly PE, PVC, PO, PET, ABS, EVA, silica gel, Teflon and so on.
3. What are the functions of the heat shrinkable tube?
Heat-shrinkable tubes are used for packaging insulation of 18650 batteries, power batteries, electronics, inductive components, electrical appliances, wiring harnesses, and pipe fittings. By using a shrinking machine or a hot air blower, the heat-shrinkable tube can be shrunk and covered to perform functions such as insulation and protection.
4. How to use the heat shrink tube correctly
Put the heat-shrinkable tube on the busbar in advance, install all the components, and after the screws are tightened, lay the heat-shrinkable tube flat and place it in an appropriate position, and heat-shrink the heat-shrinkable tube on the busbar with a hot air heater That's it.
5. Application range of heat shrinkable tube
The shrink tube has been widely used in the insulation protection of various 18650 batteries, power batteries, wiring harnesses, inductive components, and solder joints, and the rust and corrosion protection of telescopic rods, metal tubes, and rods.
6. What is the heating method of the heat shrinkable tube?
Common heating equipment can use hair dryer, heat shrink machine or high temperature electric furnace, etc.
There is no skill in using heat shrinkable tubes. As long as you know how to operate them, you will be able to use heat shrinkable tubes correctly. In addition, you must pay attention to staying away from yourself when using a series of dangerous products such as lighters. You must also be careful when using it to avoid burning yourself. In addition, there are many models and specifications of heat shrinkable tubes on the market. Consumers are reminded to clarify the range of products they are using before purchasing products.
