Partex HSMB64CLEAR transparent 2:1 heat shrink tubing, supplied in a 12 m pack with a 6.4 mm nominal supplied internal diameter and 3.2 mm nominal fully recovered internal diameter for electrical insulation, cable protection and preserving visibility of wire identification markings.
£13.90
The Partex HSMB64CLEAR is a versatile 2:1 clear heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and visible wire identification in industrial, commercial and electrical engineering applications. With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 6.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered internal diameter of 3.2 mm, this transparent heat shrink sleeving is suitable for appropriately sized electrical conductors, cable joints, wire markers and wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex HSMB heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB64CLEAR provides a convenient solution for protecting electrical wiring without concealing the underlying conductor colour or identification markings. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract around suitable wires and components when heated, creating a close-fitting protective covering that helps reduce abrasion and provides a neat, professional finish.
Supplied in a convenient 12 m pack, the Partex HSMB64CLEAR is ideal for electrical contractors, control panel builders, electronics technicians and industrial maintenance engineers requiring dependable transparent heat shrink sleeving. Its clear finish makes it particularly useful for protecting cable identification sleeves, printed wire markers and labelled conductors while keeping the information beneath the tubing visible for inspection and maintenance.
The Partex HSMB64CLEAR heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable joints and wiring assemblies while preserving visibility of the underlying surface. When controlled heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the wire or component, helping create a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its transparent finish is particularly useful where installers need to inspect conductor colours, identification numbers or printed cable markers after sleeving has been applied.
Its 2:1 shrink ratio means that the nominal internal diameter can reduce from 6.4 mm to approximately 3.2 mm when fully recovered. To achieve a secure fit, the tubing should be large enough to slide over the widest part of the assembly before heating, while its recovered diameter should be smaller than the section it needs to grip. Installers can cut the 12 m length into sections appropriate for individual cable connections, identification markers and wiring assemblies.
The clear finish offers a useful advantage in industrial control cabinets, electronics assemblies and equipment wiring where printed labels or conductor identification must remain readable. The tubing can provide additional protection for suitably sized wire markers against routine handling and abrasion, provided the underlying marking material is compatible with the heat-shrinking process. This general-purpose heat shrink tubing should not be relied upon to create a waterproof seal; applications requiring moisture sealing should use a suitably specified adhesive-lined product.

The Partex HSMB64CLEAR is used for electrical insulation, cable protection and transparent covering of wire identification markings. It is suitable for appropriately sized conductors, cable terminations, electrical connections and wiring assemblies where underlying colours or labels need to remain visible.
The tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. Its nominal internal diameter is 6.4 mm before shrinking and approximately 3.2 mm after full recovery. The actual fit depends on the dimensions of the underlying cable or component.
Each pack of Partex HSMB64CLEAR contains 12 m of clear heat shrink tubing. The tubing can be cut into individual lengths to suit different electrical insulation, identification and cable protection tasks.
Yes. The transparent finish makes the HSMB64CLEAR suitable for covering appropriately sized printed wire markers, cable labels and identification sleeves while keeping the underlying information visible. Ensure that the marker material is compatible with the heat-shrinking process and that the tubing is correctly sized.
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the wire, marker or component and apply controlled heat using a suitable hot-air heat gun. Heat evenly until the tubing contracts around the surface. Follow the manufacturer's installation guidance and avoid overheating the tubing, underlying cable insulation or identification markings.
Partex heat shrink tubing offers a practical solution for electrical insulation, visible cable identification and everyday industrial maintenance. The HSMB64CLEAR combines a versatile 2:1 shrink ratio, useful 6.4/3.2 mm dimensions, transparent finish and convenient 12 m pack to support professional wiring installations, control panel assembly and industrial equipment maintenance.
