Why Choose the Partex ECHS2381WHITE 2:1 White Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS2381WHITE is a versatile and reliable 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and professional cable management applications. Part of the Partex ECHS heat shrink tubing range, this white tubing provides a practical solution for protecting electrical connections, insulating conductors and organising cable assemblies in industrial, commercial and electrical installation environments.
Designed for general-purpose electrical protection, the tubing contracts when heated to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around cables, wires and compatible components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows it to reduce to approximately half its original diameter, helping provide secure coverage over cable joints, terminations and wiring assemblies. The distinctive white colour also supports cable identification, colour-coded wiring and organised electrical installations.
With a nominal supplied diameter of 38.1 mm, a recovered diameter of approximately 19 mm and a convenient 30 m pack, the ECHS2381WHITE is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial wiring specialists. Its bulk supply format allows tubing to be cut to the required length, reducing waste and supporting efficient installation across multiple projects.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Electrical Protection
Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical engineering to provide insulation and mechanical protection around conductors, cable joints and wiring assemblies. When controlled heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying component, creating a neat protective covering that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and handling damage.
The Partex ECHS2381WHITE combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a generous 30 m pack length, making it particularly useful for repeated cable preparation and electrical assembly tasks. The tubing can be cut to suit individual installation requirements, while its white finish helps maintain consistent identification throughout wiring systems. For best results, select tubing that fits over the largest component before shrinking and recovers sufficiently to grip the intended cable or connection.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and conductor protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable assembly.
- Protection of cable joints and electrical terminations.
- White colour coding and identification of wiring circuits.
- Cable bundling and wiring harness organisation.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and refurbishment work.
- Machinery wiring and industrial automation installations.
- General-purpose cable protection in workshops and manufacturing facilities.
