Why Choose the Partex ECHS216GREEN 2:1 Green Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS216GREEN is a versatile green 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical wire insulation, cable identification, conductor protection and professional wiring applications. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 1.6 mm and a recovered diameter of 0.8 mm, this heat shrink sleeve provides a neat, close-fitting finish when heated around suitably sized wires and components.
The 2:1 shrink ratio means that the tubing can recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when exposed to suitable heat. This allows it to conform closely around electrical conductors, wire joints and small cable assemblies, providing an additional insulating layer and helping protect against abrasion and general handling wear.
Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the ECHS216GREEN is particularly suitable for panel builders, electrical contractors, equipment manufacturers and maintenance engineers who require consistent, colour-coded heat shrink tubing for repeated installation tasks. Its green finish makes it useful for wire identification and organised cable management in electrical and electronic assemblies.

Precise 2:1 Heat Shrink Recovery for Small Electrical Wires
The Partex ECHS216GREEN is designed to create a close-fitting sleeve around small wires and compatible electrical components. The tubing is positioned over the required section before heat is applied evenly using suitable hot-air equipment. As it warms, the material contracts around the underlying cable or component, helping produce a tidy insulating cover and a professional finish.
With a nominal diameter of 1.6 mm before shrinking and 0.8 mm after full recovery, this product is intended for applications requiring relatively fine heat shrink sleeving. Users should select the tubing so that it fits over the component before heating and contracts sufficiently to grip it afterwards. The 150 m supply length allows sleeves to be cut to the required size, helping minimise waste during repetitive wiring and cable identification work.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and identification.
- Control panel wiring and cable organisation.
- Electronic equipment assembly and repair.
- Small conductor and cable joint covering.
- Industrial automation and instrumentation wiring.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and maintenance.
- Protection of small wire terminations and compatible connections.
- Colour-coded wiring systems and cable management.
- Workshop electrical repairs and cable assembly production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS216GREEN used for?
The Partex ECHS216GREEN is green heat shrink tubing used for electrical wire insulation, cable identification, abrasion protection and covering compatible small wire joints or connections.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. For this product, the nominal diameter changes from 1.6 mm to 0.8 mm upon full recovery.
What size is the Partex ECHS216GREEN tubing?
The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 1.6 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 0.8 mm. It is intended for suitably sized small wires and electrical components.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The Partex ECHS216GREEN is supplied in a 150 m pack, providing a substantial length of tubing for cutting into individual sleeves during electrical installation, manufacturing and maintenance work.
How is the ECHS216GREEN heat shrink tubing installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the wire or component, and apply controlled heat evenly using suitable hot-air equipment until the tubing contracts around the surface. Avoid overheating and follow appropriate electrical safety procedures.
Can green heat shrink tubing be used for wire identification?
Yes. The green finish can be used as part of a colour-coded wiring identification system. However, conductor identification must follow the applicable wiring standard, and green sleeving should not be assumed to provide a compliant protective-earth marking where green-and-yellow identification is required.
