Why Choose the Partex PHZ20048MN9 Halogen-Free Printable Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex PHZ20048MN9 is a professional white, halogen-free printable heat shrink tubing supplied in a convenient mini box containing 1 × 12 m of tubing. Designed for electrical wire and cable identification, this flexible polyolefin sleeving provides a practical solution for creating durable, customised conductor markers in control panels, industrial machinery and automation systems.
Part of the Partex PHZ printable heat shrink range, the PHZ20048MN9 features a 2:1 shrink ratio, reducing from an initial internal diameter of 4.8 mm to approximately 2.4 mm after full recovery. Its specially treated surface supports thermal transfer printing, allowing clear identification numbers, letters and circuit references to be applied before the tubing is cut and fitted to suitable cables.
Manufactured from halogen-free polyolefin, the tubing offers flexibility, good print adhesion and low smoke generation characteristics. Its white background provides a clear surface for printed identification, while the mini box packaging supports convenient dispensing, storage and on-site cable marking.

Professional Printable Heat Shrink Identification for Electrical Wiring
The Partex PHZ20048MN9 provides a flexible solution for producing customised cable markers directly at the point of installation. Identification text can be printed onto the specially treated tubing, which is then cut to the required sleeve length and positioned over a suitable conductor before termination. Controlled heating causes the tubing to shrink around the cable insulation, creating a close-fitting identification sleeve.
The 2:1 recovery ratio allows the tubing to reduce from 4.8 mm to approximately 2.4 mm, making correct cable diameter selection important for secure fitting. Its white printable surface, halogen-free construction and convenient 12 m mini box make it a practical choice for electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams requiring consistent wire identification.
Typical Applications
- Electrical control panel wire and conductor identification.
- PLC and industrial automation cable marking.
- Switchgear and electrical distribution assemblies.
- Machinery wiring and industrial equipment manufacturing.
- OEM cable harness and electrical assembly production.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
- Maintenance and replacement of existing cable identification sleeves.
