Why Choose the Partex HS232RED 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS232RED is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, wire protection, cable identification and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, this red heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting wires, conductors and electrical connections in industrial automation systems, control panels and electrical installations.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing contracts to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated appropriately. This allows it to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible wires, cable insulation and small electrical components. The red colour also supports visual cable identification, helping engineers and installers distinguish wiring groups and electrical circuits within organised installations.
With a supplied internal diameter of 3.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.6 mm, the HS232RED is suitable for a range of small-diameter wiring and cable protection applications. Supplied in a convenient 150 m pack, this red heat shrink tubing provides a practical bulk solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HS232RED provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the wire or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect against abrasion, handling damage and accidental contact with covered conductive areas. The 2:1 shrink ratio provides flexibility when selecting tubing for compatible conductor and cable sizes.
The red colour makes the HS232RED particularly useful for colour-coded cable identification and organised wiring installations. Red sleeving can be used to distinguish designated circuits, wiring groups or connections where the chosen identification scheme is appropriate. The generous 150 m supply supports repeated installation tasks and high-volume electrical assembly work, making it a practical choice for industrial automation, control panel manufacturing and electrical maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- PLC and automation equipment wiring.
- Red cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.
- Protection of small-diameter conductors and insulated wire terminations.
- Electronics assembly and equipment maintenance.
- OEM machinery wiring and electrical manufacturing.
