About Zippertubing
The Zippertubing Company has manufactured specialized cable and wire protection products since 1957, with a core product lineup built around four categories: EMI shielding, cable bundling, heat shielding, and heat shrink. Zippertubing's signature innovation is its range of closure styles, including re-enterable wrap-around designs, snap button closures, and continuous zipper closures, which allow products to be installed, removed, and reinstalled without cutting or discarding the material. The company also offers extensive custom engineering and prototyping services for unique application requirements.
Zippertubing Heat Shrink Products
Unlike standard tube-style heat shrink, which must be slid over a wire end before termination, Zippertubing heat shrink is primarily built around a wrap-around design, letting installers apply protection after termination or around connectors, splices, and breakouts without disassembly.
