HS212BLUE Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 1.2/0.6mm, blue, pack 150m

Why Choose the Partex HS212BLUE 2:1 Blue Heat Shrink Tubing?

The Partex HS212BLUE is a versatile 2:1 blue heat shrink tubing designed for insulating, protecting and identifying small electrical wires, cable connections and electronic components. Featuring a 1.2 mm nominal supplied diameter and a 0.6 mm nominal fully recovered diameter, this compact heat shrink sleeve provides a practical solution for applications requiring a neat, close-fitting protective covering around small conductors and wiring assemblies.

With a 2:1 shrink ratio, the HS212BLUE is designed to reduce to approximately half its original diameter when heated under suitable conditions. This allows the tubing to be positioned over a compatible wire or connection before shrinking to form a closely fitting sleeve. Its distinctive blue finish is particularly useful for colour-coded wiring arrangements, helping installers distinguish selected cable groups, circuits or equipment connections according to their own identification systems.

Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the Partex HS212BLUE is suitable for electrical contractors, electronics manufacturers, control panel builders, maintenance engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers. Its small diameter, heat-activated recovery and cut-to-length flexibility make it an effective choice for precision wiring, cable identification and professional electrical assembly work.

Key Advantages

• 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its original diameter for a close-fitting finish.
• 1.2 mm supplied diameter makes it suitable for appropriately sized small wires and electronic connections.
• 0.6 mm nominal recovered diameter supports a close fit around compatible small conductors.
• Blue colour enables visual identification and organisation of selected wiring groups.
• Electrical insulation provides an additional protective covering for suitably prepared wire connections and components.
• Heat-activated shrinking enables installation without separate mechanical fastening components.
• Cut-to-length flexibility allows individual sleeves to be prepared according to installation requirements.
• 150 m supply quantity is practical for production, maintenance and repeated electrical assembly work.
• Compact tubing dimensions are useful where installation space is limited.
• Helps protect compatible wiring and connections against incidental abrasion and handling damage.

Reliable 2:1 Heat Shrink Protection and Cable Identification for Electrical Installations

Effective electrical insulation and cable identification help maintain organised, accessible and dependable wiring assemblies. The Partex HS212BLUE provides a convenient method of applying a closely fitting sleeve to compatible small conductors, wire joints and electronic connections. Once positioned and exposed to suitable heat, the tubing reduces in diameter around the underlying component, helping create a neat protective covering without requiring separate fastening accessories.

The compact 1.2 mm to 0.6 mm nominal diameter range is particularly useful for precision wiring applications involving small conductors and electronic equipment. The tubing should be selected so that its supplied diameter is large enough to pass over the intended component, while its recovered diameter is sufficiently small to achieve the required fit. The blue finish also allows installers to implement colour-coded cable identification arrangements, supporting easier visual recognition of selected wiring groups during inspection, commissioning and maintenance.

For dependable results, the tubing should be cut cleanly, positioned over the intended wire or connection and heated evenly using appropriate equipment. Excessive or uneven heating should be avoided to prevent damage to the tubing or underlying cable insulation. The HS212BLUE should not be assumed to be adhesive-lined, waterproof, flame-retardant or suitable for a particular operating voltage or temperature without confirmation of the relevant manufacturer specification. Blue colour-coding should also follow the applicable installation requirements and must not be treated as automatic confirmation of a conductor's electrical function.

Typical Applications

• Insulation of small electrical wires and conductor sections.
• Colour-coded identification of compatible wiring groups.
• Protection and finishing of suitably sized soldered wire connections.
• Electronic circuit wiring and equipment assemblies.
• Industrial control panel wiring and cable preparation.
• OEM electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing.
• Small wiring harnesses and cable assembly production.
• Electrical maintenance, repair and circuit identification.
• Protection against incidental abrasion on suitably sized conductors.
• General-purpose heat shrink sleeving for compatible electrical components.
