When it comes to selecting heat shrink tubing for outdoor applications, it is important to consider the environmental factors that the tubing will be exposed to. In general, heat shrink tubing made from polyolefin is a good choice for outdoor environments because it has excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation.
In addition, there are specific types of polyolefin heat shrink tubing that are designed for outdoor use. For example, cross-linked polyolefin heat shrink tubing is known for its high strength, durability, and resistance to UV radiation. This type of tubing is often used in outdoor applications such as telecommunications, automotive, and marine industries.
It is also important to select heat shrink tubing with a suitable wall thickness for the application. A thicker wall will provide better protection against abrasion and other environmental factors, but may require higher temperatures to shrink properly.
When selecting heat shrink tubing for outdoor use, it is important to choose a tubing material and thickness that can withstand the specific environmental factors it will be exposed to.
