Shrink tubes are commonly used for connecting electrical cables, insulating soldered points in resistors and capacitors, marking and protecting electrical cables, protecting metal rods or pipes from corrosion, and safeguarding antennas. These waterproof shrink tubes are used for connecting fiber optic cables.

These highly flexible shrink tubes made of polyolefin feature a smooth outer surface and a thin wall. They offer excellent tensile strength and a shrink ratio of up to 50%. The material is flame-retardant, and water absorption is limited.
