Overview
Heat Shrink Tubing 18 mm 2 m with Hot Melt Adhesive Shrink Ratio 4:1 Double-Walled PE Insulation Black Protection for Starter and Battery Cable Connections

The double-walled heat shrink tubing with adhesive, measuring 18 mm in diameter, is designed for insulating and sealing connections of thick wires. Before shrinking, it has an internal diameter of 18 mm and, with a shrink ratio of 4:1, it reduces to approximately a quarter when heated. The large shrink range allows it to wrap around connections with varying thicknesses along their length, such as a cable lug crimped onto a thick wire. Inside, there is a layer of hot melt adhesive that melts when heated, filling the gaps around the connection. The packaging contains 2 m of tubing, which you can cut into pieces as needed.

The outer layer made of polyolefin protects the connection from abrasion, dust, and mechanical stress. The adhesive solidifies upon cooling, firmly bonding the tubing to the cable insulation and preventing water ingress along the wire. The material is self-extinguishing. The 18 mm diameter is suitable for battery cables, starter and welding cables, large cable lugs, and for bundling several wires into one harness. Two metres is sufficient for several repairs or for modifying the power cabling of one vehicle, caravan, or smaller solar setup.

The tubing with adhesive protects connections better than standard tubing without adhesive, making it suitable for areas where cables are exposed to moisture, dust, and vibrations. You can use it in the engine compartment, at the winch feed, with cables to battery storage, on boats, or in the electrical installation of a caravan.

  • Contents of Packaging – heat shrink tubing with adhesive, 18 mm diameter, 2 m long

Slide a piece of tubing onto the wire before crimping or soldering, and after completing the connection, move it so that it covers the entire joint. Heat it evenly around the circumference with a heat gun until it tightly shrinks and a bit of adhesive appears at its edges. The adhesive melts at a temperature of 100 °C. Work from the centre to the edges to avoid trapping air under the tubing, and bend the cable only after it has completely cooled.

The black heat shrink tubing with adhesive, measuring 18 mm in diameter and two metres long, is a practical helper for working with thick cables. Thanks to the layer of hot melt adhesive, it creates a waterproof and strong connection that withstands cable movement well. The tubing is easily cut with a knife or scissors and shrinks with a standard heat gun. You will find it useful in the garage, in the car, on the boat, and for repairs in the workshop. Store any leftover tubing for future use.
