Types of Heatshrink
Heat shrink comes in various types, each designed to meet specific requirements. From commercial-grade to high-temperature variants, there’s a type tailored for every application. Commercial-grade tubing offers basic insulation and protection, while economic options provide cost-effective solutions. High-temperature heat shrink is ideal for environments with extreme heat conditions, and dual-walled tubing (lined with glue or adhesive) is ideal for moisture-resistant insulation. Printasleeve offers a wide range of sleeving products suitable for all of these different needs in a number of colours and sizes, alongside printing and cutting services: a quick, efficient and affordable service for standard heat shrink, ladder markers, panel plates and more.

Understanding industry norms and standards is crucial when selecting heat shrink. Certifications such as UL, BS, DEFSTAN, and MIL-SPEC ensure compliance with safety and quality standards. Whether you operate in automotive, military, marine, electronics, or other industries, adhering to these standards is paramount. Our sheathing products meet these certifications and are RoHS and REACH compliant, guaranteeing safety and environmental responsibility.
