| FAQ's |

1.
How do I size heat shrink tubing correctly?
The inside diameter of shrink tubing depends on
the outside diameter of the substrate onto which you
will be shrinking. In our catalogue, we provide expanded
inside diameters and recovered inside diameters for
your referral. Choose an expanded size that fits over
your substrate and it will shrink down with heat to
more than the substrate outside diameter for a snug
fit. Shrink ratios are available in 2:1, 3:1, and
custom ratios. For a thinner recovered tube wall thickness,
choose an expanded size that just slips over the substrate.

2.
Why does my heat shrink tubing look too big for the
application?
Before shrink tubing is heated, it may be
2 or even 3 times the diameter that it will become
after heating. If sized correctly the tubing will
shrink down to a snug fit. If the tubing is still
too loose then either it was sized incorrectly or
it has not been exposed to enough heat to maximize
shrinkage.

6.
Do shrink sleeve have
a shelf life?
Yes, however most polymers, if stored properly,
will last for years. Cool, dry conditions, away from
sunlight, are the best conditions for heat shrink
tubing to be stored. Each polymer has a different
shelf life, please contact us for more information.
