2:1 Shrink Ratio Braided Heat Shrink Fabric Tubing - Abrasion Resistant Textile Protection Sleeve

Product Description

The 2:1 shrinkable braided heat shrink fabric tubing is designed for mechanical protection, abrasion resistance, and cable bundling in industrial and automotive applications.

Manufactured by BSTFLEX, this product is made from textile polyolefin and polyester yarns in a braided woven structure. When heat is applied, the tubing shrinks uniformly to approximately half of its original diameter (2:1 shrink ratio), forming a tight, flexible protective layer around hoses, cables, and wire bundles.

Unlike rigid heat shrink tubing, the textile-based structure provides excellent flexibility, breathability, and resistance to mechanical wear.

Material & Weave Structure

Textile Polyolefin / Polyester Yarns

• Lightweight and durable fiber composition

• Good resistance to abrasion and wear

• Suitable for continuous industrial use

Braided Woven Construction

• Flexible and expandable before shrinking

• Conforms well to irregular shapes

• Maintains strength after heat shrinking

Heat Shrink Function

• Shrink ratio: 2:1

• Shrinks evenly when exposed to controlled heat

• Forms a snug protective sleeve

This combination provides reliable protection without sacrificing flexibility.

Main Functions

• Abrasion-resistant protection for cables and hoses

• Bundling and organizing wire assemblies

• Improves resistance to vibration and rubbing

• Shrinks to fit tightly around components

• Maintains flexibility after installation

The tubing is designed for mechanical protection, not as primary electrical insulation.
