Del City's clear heat shrink tube is a polyolefin tubing that is flexible and flame retardant. While the clear heat shrink appears to be initially cloudy, it turns crystal clear when heat is applied, allowing for easy viewing and inspection of the connected area. Clear shrink tubing has a thick wall with an internal modified polyimide adhesive layer that melts and flows when heated, encapsulating and sealing the components contained within the shrink tube for additional protection. Our clear shrink tubing has a 3:1 shrink ratio, meaning that when fully recovered with a heat tool, it will shrink to one third of its original diameter. It is available in 4-foot sticks in eight sizes ranging from 1/8 inner diameter to 1-1/2 inner diameter.
