Why Choose the Partex HSMB12GREEN 2:1 Green Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB12GREEN is a professional green 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, fine-wire protection and colour-coded identification of small electrical conductors. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 1.2 mm and a recovered diameter of 0.6 mm, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible wires and electrical components.
Designed for precision electrical wiring and cable management applications, Partex heat shrink tubing is suitable for electronic equipment, industrial control panels, instrumentation wiring and electrical maintenance. Its distinctive green finish supports visual identification and organised wiring, making it useful where individual conductors or small cable groups need to be distinguished within an electrical assembly.
Supplied in a 20 m pack, the HSMB12GREEN provides a practical solution for repeated wiring, cable identification and electrical assembly tasks. Its compact 1.2/0.6 mm nominal dimensions make it particularly suitable for fine wires, small electrical connections and precision cable management applications requiring a neat protective covering.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original nominal diameter.
- 1.2 mm supplied diameter suitable for fine wires and appropriately sized electrical connections.
- 0.6 mm nominal recovered diameter provides a close-fitting covering around compatible small conductors.
- Green colour supports visual identification and colour-coded cable management.
- 20 m pack length provides material for repeated electrical assembly and maintenance tasks.
- Helps provide electrical insulation and protection against everyday handling and abrasion.
- Heat-activated installation provides a neat finish without additional fastening components.
Key Features

- Practical for electronic equipment, instrumentation wiring and industrial control systems.
Precision Wire Insulation and Identification for Electrical Systems
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors by contracting around wires and components when heat is applied. The Partex HSMB12GREEN features a nominal 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing the tubing to reduce from approximately 1.2 mm to 0.6 mm in diameter when fully recovered. This makes it suitable for appropriately sized fine-wire connections, small conductor sections and precision electrical wiring assemblies.
The green finish is useful in electronic equipment, instrumentation systems and industrial automation applications where colour coding helps identify designated wires or circuits. The tubing can help protect conductor insulation and connection areas while supporting organised cable management. Green-only tubing should not be used as a substitute for the green/yellow identification reserved for protective earth conductors where applicable wiring standards require it. Installers should ensure that the tubing fits over the largest part of the connection before heating and recovers sufficiently around the underlying wire.
Typical Applications
- Fine-wire electrical insulation and conductor protection.
- Electronic equipment wiring and assembly.
- Instrumentation and signal wiring applications.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Colour-coded identification of small electrical conductors.
- Small electrical connections and conductor coverings.
- Precision wire harness assembly and cable organisation.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and workshop assembly tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex HSMB12GREEN used for?
The Partex HSMB12GREEN is used for electrical insulation, fine-wire protection and colour-coded conductor identification in electronic equipment, instrumentation wiring and industrial electrical assemblies.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter when correctly heated, reducing from 1.2 mm to 0.6 mm.
What are the supplied and recovered diameters?
The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 1.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 0.6 mm.
Can this green heat shrink tubing be used for protective earth identification?
The HSMB12GREEN is green-only tubing, intended for general colour-coded identification and cable protection. Where electrical standards require protective earth conductors to be identified using green/yellow colouring, the appropriate green/yellow tubing should be selected instead.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The Partex HSMB12GREEN is supplied in a 20 m pack, providing material for multiple fine-wire insulation, electrical assembly and cable identification tasks.
