Heat-shrink tubing is an essential solution for ensuring the protection, insulation and durability of cables and electrical components in industrial environments. Thanks to its ability to shrink when heated, it moulds perfectly to the shape of the component and guarantees optimum mechanical, electrical and environmental protection.
Used in the energy, railway, automotive, and electronics sectors, it helps to secure installations while improving their long-term reliability.
At ADDEV Materials, we support manufacturers in selecting and integrating heat-shrink tubing tailored to their technical requirements, drawing on a wide range of standard and bespoke solutions.
In an industrial context, heat-shrink tubing is used for:
It is particularly suited for environments subjected to vibration, humidity or thermal stress.
Compared to other solutions:
Heat shrink tubing is the most comprehensive solution for demanding environments.
Heat-shrink tubing is a polymer tube (often made of polyolefin) that shrinks when exposed to a heat source, providing uniform and durable protection around a cable or component.

It's a tube that shrinks when heated to protect a cable.
It is used to insulate, protect, and seal electrical connections.
The choice depends on the diameter, temperature, and environmental stresses.
The double wall contains an adhesive to ensure a watertight seal.
It heats itself with a heat gun to shrink.
This depends on the material, generally between -55°C and +125°C or more.
Yes, with adhesive sleeves.
A starting diameter must be chosen that is greater than the cable and suitable for the shrinkage rate.
