Why Choose the Partex HS212GREY 2:1 Grey Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS212GREY is a grey 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical wire insulation, cable identification and protection of small-diameter connections. Manufactured by Partex, this heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for electricians, control panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers and electrical equipment manufacturers requiring neat, close-fitting cable insulation.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing reduces in diameter when heated, allowing it to conform around suitably sized wires and components. The nominal supplied diameter is 1.2 mm, with a nominal recovered diameter of 0.6 mm. This compact size is particularly useful for fine wiring and small electrical connections where a close-fitting insulating sleeve is required.
The grey colour provides a neutral appearance and a useful visual identification option for electrical wiring and cable management. Supplied in a 150 m pack, the HS212GREY is suitable for repeated cutting and installation tasks in electrical panel assembly, cable harness production, equipment manufacturing and maintenance operations.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its original diameter when correctly recovered.
- 1.2 mm supplied diameter makes it suitable for appropriately sized small wires and electrical connections.
- 0.6 mm nominal recovered diameter provides a close-fitting sleeve around compatible components.
- Grey colour offers a neutral appearance and supports visual cable identification.
- Heat-activated recovery provides a fitted sleeve without a mechanical fastening mechanism.
- Useful for electrical insulation, cable organisation and protection against incidental contact and light abrasion.
- Can be cut to the required length for individual wiring and assembly tasks.
- 150 m pack quantity supports repeated use in electrical installation and maintenance projects.
- Suitable for control panel manufacturing, industrial wiring and cable harness assembly.

Reliable Wire Insulation and Identification for Electrical Control Systems
Effective cable insulation and identification help maintain organised electrical installations, improve wiring accessibility and simplify equipment maintenance. The Partex HS212GREY provides a heat-shrinkable sleeve that can be cut to length, positioned over a suitable wire or connection and heated to achieve a close fit. This makes it a practical option for fine wiring in control panels, electrical equipment and industrial automation assemblies.
The combination of a 1.2 mm supplied diameter, 0.6 mm recovered diameter and 2:1 shrink ratio makes this tubing particularly relevant to small-diameter wiring applications. Its grey finish can also support site-specific cable identification systems and provide a consistent appearance across wiring assemblies. Installers should confirm the required electrical insulation rating, recovery temperature, operating temperature, material compatibility and environmental suitability against the manufacturer's technical documentation before use.
Typical Applications
- Insulation of appropriately sized small electrical wires and connections.
- Electrical control panel wiring and assembly.
- Industrial automation and machinery wiring.
- Cable harness production and wire identification.
- Colour-coded cable organisation and circuit identification.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and OEM assemblies.
- Protection of small wiring sections against light abrasion.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and cable refurbishment.
- Instrumentation wiring and small-diameter cable assemblies.
- General-purpose heat shrink sleeving applications where the tubing specifications are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex HS212GREY used for?
The Partex HS212GREY is a grey heat shrink tubing product used for insulating, identifying and protecting suitably sized small electrical wires, connections and cable assemblies. It is suitable for applications such as control panel wiring, cable harness production and electrical equipment assembly.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original diameter when correctly heated. The HS212GREY has a nominal supplied diameter of 1.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 0.6 mm.
What size is the Partex HS212GREY heat shrink tubing?
The HS212GREY is specified as 1.2/0.6 mm, meaning a nominal supplied diameter of 1.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 0.6 mm. The tubing should be selected to fit over the component before shrinking and recover sufficiently for the required finished fit.
Can the grey HS212GREY tubing be used for cable identification?
Yes. Its grey colour can help distinguish wires or cable groups within an established identification scheme. It also provides a neutral appearance for wiring assemblies. The colour alone does not establish compliance with a particular conductor identification standard.
How much Partex HS212GREY heat shrink tubing is supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 150 m of grey heat shrink tubing, which can be cut into suitable lengths for electrical assembly, cable identification, wiring protection and maintenance work.
