Cabac HEATSHRINK THIN WALL 12.7MM BLUE XLP13BL x 50

Description

Overview & Application

CABAC XLP Thin Wall Heat Shrink Tubing 12.7mm Blue is engineered for professional electrical installations requiring reliable insulation, protection, and colour coding of conductors. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, it provides a clean and secure finish for wiring systems.

Supplied in a 50m roll, the tubing offers efficient bulk use for trade environments. With a 2:1 shrink ratio, it reduces from 12.7mm to approximately 6.4mm when heat is applied, ensuring a tight, professional fit across various cable sizes and joint configurations.

Performance & Protection

CABAC XLP heat shrink tubing delivers superior electrical and mechanical protection for wiring systems exposed to demanding environments. Manufactured from electron beam cross-linked polyolefin, it offers excellent flame retardancy, impact resistance, and long-term durability. The tubing is resistant to common fluids, solvents, and abrasion, making it suitable for harsh industrial and construction conditions.

Its UV stabilised formulation helps maintain performance in outdoor installations, while flexibility ensures easy handling during installation. When heated, it conforms tightly to substrates, creating a sealed layer that helps prevent corrosion, moisture ingress, and accidental cable damage over time. This ensures long-lasting reliability in critical electrical infrastructure and maintenance applications.

Specifications & Compliance

CABAC XLP heat shrink tubing meets international standards including UL224 VW1 and ASTM D2671, ensuring trusted performance for professional electrical work. It operates within a wide temperature range from -75°C to +135°C, with a shrink temperature above 105°C. The tubing provides high dielectric strength with a breakdown voltage of 25 kV/mm and a 600V voltage rating.

It also features low water absorption and minimal longitudinal shrinkage for consistent application results. Designed for trade use, it combines safety, compliance, and durability in one reliable insulation solution. This ensures dependable compliance across Australian electrical installations.
