3:1 Heat Shrink Tubing
![]() |
3:1 heat shrink tubing is ideal for applications such as wire harnesses, where you need the material to have a large enough diameter to get over bulky connectors, yet you still need it to shrink down to a smaller size. 3:1 Polyolefin heat shrink will shrink down to one third of its nominal diameter, and less than 10% of its length. The diameter of heat shrink tubing is measured as a round tube, not flat. |
Minimum Shrink Temperature – 120 degrees Celsius
