Adhesive lined heat shrink tubing from Hilltop can make life easier, and also safer, for the electrical industry. But what is adhesive lined heat shrink tubing, and why does it matter?

Heat shrink tubing looks just like any other plastic or rubber, but the magic happens when heat is applied: this innovative material shrinks around the material it is placed over, tightening and moulding into place. The adhesive lined inner then melts and applies itself to make it water tight.

Understandably, it is a major part of the electrical trade, since it can be used to secure over-spliced connections, insulating them and protecting them from moisture, while safeguarding against a short circuit.

With adhesive lined heat shrink tubing, the process of application is exactly the same, but the result is a stronger and less flexible; perfect when sealing over connections or larger diameter wires.

Hilltop is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. It is commonly made from polyolefin. Materials are blended together using heat, then forced through an extruder to form the shape. After being lined with adhesive and cut to reasonable lengths, Hilltop ships its product all over the world.

Tubing is colour coded; and this is to make life easier for the electrician, or other installer, to colour code their work. This is better for organisation and safety but can also result in quicker and more efficient jobs.  In the instance of a fault, a professional can quickly identify where connections are, and what those connections are for.

But ease and efficiency aren’t the only benefits of using adhesive lined heat shrink tubing on electrical connections. Safety is also a major factor. Adhesive lined heat shrink tubing adds an extra layer of security to a connection leaving no chance of wires slipping apart.

After completing an installation or repair, simply apply the tubing to the electrical connection and apply heat via a heat gun or blow torch. Adhesive lined heat shrink tubing will shrink under the connection to form and tight and strong connection.

A range of adhesive heat shrink tubing is available for delivery throughout the UK. For more information call 01942 723 101 or pay a visit to http://www.hilltop-products.co.uk/.
