HSMB24BLACK Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 2.4/1.2mm, black, pack 15m

Why Choose the Partex HSMB24BLACK 2:1 Black Heat Shrink Tubing?

The Partex HSMB24BLACK is a versatile, small-diameter black heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, wire protection, cable management and professional wiring applications. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing reduces from a nominal supplied internal diameter of 2.4 mm to 1.2 mm when fully recovered, providing a close-fitting protective sleeve around appropriately sized electrical conductors, cable connections and components.

Manufactured by Partex, a specialist in cable identification and electrical installation products, the HSMB24BLACK offers a practical solution for electrical contractors, electronics technicians, control panel builders and industrial maintenance professionals. Its black finish provides a neat, consistent appearance, making it suitable for electronic equipment, control panel wiring, cable harnesses and general electrical maintenance.

Supplied in a convenient 15 m pack, the Partex HSMB24BLACK provides a useful quantity of heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation and repair tasks. The 2.4 mm supplied internal diameter makes it particularly suitable for small electrical wires and compact cable assemblies, while the 1.2 mm nominal recovered diameter allows the tubing to contract around suitably sized components.

The combination of a compact diameter, controlled shrink ratio and professional black finish makes the HSMB24BLACK an excellent choice for electrical and electronic assemblies requiring reliable protective sleeving and a tidy finished appearance.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Small-Diameter Cable Protection

Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical and electronic installations to provide protective sleeving around conductors, wire connections and electrical components. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying component, creating a close-fitting covering that can help protect against abrasion and provide additional electrical insulation where the product is appropriately specified.

The Partex HSMB24BLACK combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a compact 2.4 mm supplied internal diameter. This makes it particularly useful for applications involving small electrical conductors, compact wiring assemblies and components where larger heat shrink tubing would be unsuitable. Once heated, the tubing contracts towards its nominal recovered internal diameter of 1.2 mm.

The small diameter allows installers to apply protective sleeving to individual wires while maintaining a tidy and compact wiring arrangement. This can be especially beneficial in electronic equipment, instrumentation systems, industrial control panels and electrical assemblies where space is limited and careful cable management is important.

The black colour provides a discreet, professional appearance that complements many electrical and electronic assemblies. Black heat shrink tubing is commonly selected for general-purpose insulation and protective sleeving, helping create a consistent finish across wire harnesses, cable connections and equipment wiring.

Heat shrink sleeving can also support cable identification when used alongside suitable cable markers, labels or other identification products. However, black tubing should not be applied in a way that incorrectly identifies the electrical function of a conductor. In installations using harmonised conductor colours, identification must remain consistent with the applicable wiring regulations.

For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied internal diameter large enough to pass over the intended wire, connector or component and a recovered diameter suitable for achieving the required fit. Cut the tubing to the required length, position it over the area requiring protection and apply controlled, even heat using an appropriate heat gun.

Follow the manufacturer's installation recommendations and avoid excessive heating of the tubing or underlying cable insulation. Particular care should be taken when working with fine wires, sensitive electronic components and closely spaced connections.

Where waterproofing, adhesive bonding or a specified environmental seal is required, select a product with the relevant verified properties. The HSMB24BLACK should not be assumed to provide adhesive sealing or a particular waterproof rating without confirmation from the manufacturer's technical documentation.
