Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing

 

 

Polyolefin is a versatile thermoplastic with a good combination of tensile strength, durability, chemical resistance, and moisture resistance. M23053/5 tubing is a mil-spec crosslinked polyolefin heat shrink product designed as electrical insulation sleeving. Polyolefin delivers excellent flexibility, strain relief, and abrasion resistance for commercial and industrial applications. At Electro Insulation Group, we manufacture a wide variety of M23053/5 heat shrink tubing dimensions, from 3/64-inch to 4-inch expanded diameters.

M23053/5 Tubing General Information

M23053/5 heat shrink tubing is ideal for general-purpose applications in the manufacturing, construction, energy, technology, and telecommunications industries. Also known as AS23053/5, this single-wall polyolefin tubing is equally at home in data centers and automotive assembly lines. LDPE and HDPE are two common types of polyolefin jacketing options.

M23053/5 is one of the most widely used heat shrink tubing specifications for industrial electrical work because of its “jack of all trades” reputation. Organizations use it to protect wire splices, electrical terminations, harnesses, cables, and bundles. It’s also useful for temporary and permanent field repairs.

Advantages of M23053/5 Heat Shrink Tubing

Single-wall polyolefin tubing is appealing to production managers, work teams, and technicians for many reasons:

  • Cost-effectiveness: M23053/5 usually has a lower cost than adhesive-lined or heavy-duty heat shrink tubing.
  • Low shrink temperature: The minimum shrink temperature of polyolefin is 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit), and full reduction only requires 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit).
  • Flexibility: M23053/5 offers nearly 600% elongation at break, double that of dual-wall production. Complex wiring installations are easier to protect with flexible crosslinked polyolefin.
  • Outstanding strain relief: M23053/5 tubing provides 14MPa tensile strength compared to 10 MPa for adhesive-lined options.
  • Abrasion-resistance: M23053/5 usually has a lower cost than adhesive-lined or heavy-duty heat shrink tubing.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Polyolefin tubing delivers long-lasting durability, meeting ASTM D2671 standards for heat shock and cold bend tests, UL 224 for copper corrosion, and ASTM D 876 tensile tests.
  • Heat- and flame-resistance: M23053/5 polyolefin tubing has an outstanding operating temperature of minus 55 to 135 degrees Celsius (minus 67 degrees to 275 degrees Fahrenheit, meeting both UL and CSA specs.

M23053/5 single-wall tubing shares the excellent corrosion resistance and electrical properties of other polyolefin heat shrink tubes. While it doesn’t have the same sealing characteristics as adhesive-lined options, M23053/5 provides high resistance to liquids, bacteria, mold, and chemicals.

M23053/5 Polyolefin Tubing Customization Options

M23053/5 tubing is available in a vast range of colors, including black, white, red, green, blue, and yellow. We also offer clear and yellow/green striped products. This helps keep industrial teams safe, simplifies repairs, and allows manufacturers to follow standardized conventions easily.

We also provide value-added services for customization:

  • Cut-to-length
  • Kitting
  • Barcode printing
  • Custom packaging and medical-grade packaging

This type of heat shrink tubing is available in a wider range of shrink ratios than other options, including 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, and 6:1. This allows for easy installation without removing connectors or in-line devices.
