HSMB64CLEAR Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 6.4/3.2mm, clear, pack 12m

Why Choose the Partex HSMB64CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?

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.

Key Advantages

• Professional 2:1 clear heat shrink tubing for electrical insulation and cable protection.
• 6.4 mm nominal supplied diameter reducing to approximately 3.2 mm after full recovery.

Transparent Electrical Insulation and Protection for Cable Identification

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.
