Step-by-step instructions: How to correctly attach heat-shrink tubing with adhesive

Heat-shrink tubing with adhesive is the ideal solution to protect your cable connections permanently and securely - the adhesive sticks to rubber, neoprene, steel and polyethylene, among othersCorrect application is crucial to ensure that the connection holds optimally and all the benefits of the heat-shrink tubing come into play. Below we explain how to apply the shrink tubing with adhesive correctly:

1. Preparing the working materials

You will need a sharp knife to cut the tube to size and a hot air gun to shrink it. Optionally, you can also wear gloves to provide additional protection for your hands. Please note: When not shrunk, the shrink tubing should be at least 20 to 30 percent larger in diameter than the cable to be protected.

2. Cleaning and preparing the cable connection

A clean surface is essential to ensure optimum adhesion of the adhesive and a watertight seal. Therefore, carefully remove any dirt, dust, grease or moisture from the cable connection. Also check whether the cable connection is mechanically stable, for example by soldering or screwing.

3. Cutting the shrink tubing to size

Now cut the heat-shrink tubing to the required length using adhesive. Make sure that the tubing covers the entire connection plus at least one to two centimetres on each side. A clean, straight cut is important to ensure that the tubing seals tightly later on.

4. Sliding on the shrink tubing

Carefully slide the cut heat-shrink tubing over the area to be protected. Position the tubing so that it surrounds the center of the connection and protrudes evenly on both sides. This step should always be carried out before the cables are actually connected, as the tubing can no longer be pushed over a closed connection afterwards.

5. Shrinking and activating the adhesive

Set your hot air gun to a temperature of at least 120°C or higher, depending on the adhesive, and hold the device at a distance of around five to ten centimetres from the shrink tubing. Start in the middle of the heat-shrink tubing and move the hot air slowly and evenly towards the ends. Turn the cable slightly so that the tubing is heated evenly all around. A sign of a complete seal is when some adhesive escapes from the ends of the heat-shrink tubing.

6. Cooling down and checking

After the heat-shrink tubing has been heated evenly and has wrapped itself tightly around the joint, allow it to cool for a few minutes before applying any further load or moving the joint. Then check that the heat-shrink tubing is firmly and tightly attached and that the adhesive is slightly visible at the ends. If necessary, you can briefly reheat the ends to optimize the seal.

Why heat-shrink tubing with adhesive is the right choice

High-quality heat-shrink tubing with adhesive from EMC Direct offers you a number of advantages over conventional insulation methods such as insulating tape or heat-shrink tubing without adhesive:

Simple application

All you need is a standard hot air gun - no glue, no insulating tape, no time-consuming preparation. The shrinking process is completed within a few seconds and the connection is immediately stable and ready for use. Even amateurs or hobbyists can achieve reliable results with just a few simple steps.

Long-lasting insulation

Heat shrink tubing with adhesive not only provides a mechanical coating, but also seals the connection airtight and moisture-proof. This ensures that external influences such as dirt, dust or liquids have no chance of penetrating the electrical connection. Thanks to the robust material of the sheath, the insulation also remains stable for many years.

Strain relief for sensitive connections

Cable connections are often exposed not only to electrical but also mechanical loads. If tension or movement acts on a connection, there is a risk of micro-cracks or cable breaks. Our shrink sleeves with adhesive offer a real advantage here: the adhesive bonds firmly to the substrate and provides massive strain relief.

Permanent fixation without adhesive tape or cable ties

Unlike many other insulation solutions such as insulating tape or loose heat-shrink tubing, heat-shrink tubing with adhesive stays where it belongs. Once the adhesive has been heated and solidified, the tubing literally sticks to the cable or component. This prevents the insulation from coming loose again.
