Post by thread:[EE] Shiny heat shrink tube

Hello, I would need a heat shrink tube which is shiny. I could see similar tubes used for LiPo batteries wrapped around the whole - I would need a smaller diameter but the same look-a-like. Colours would be mainly black and transparent, but if other colours looks nice I also interested. So far I could not find any, so that's why I was wondering if anybody here knows such a supplier or manufacturer who ships to Europe. Thanks very much, Tamas

The Shrink used on battery packs tends to be PVC and different from wire-style in that it shrinks in both directions, but you can get it down to about 1/2 inch starting diameter... BillW

At the moment I'm using 9mm with 2:1 shrinking ratio, but if that is a 3:1 it would do. It is also ok to me if it shrinks length as well as diameter - I would like to cover a small board by that with few smd components on it. The only thing is that it has to insulate it electrically and also has to look nice. I start looking for PVC tubes then, but if you can point me a part no of digikey, radionics (rs) or farnell (or anithing else), i would appreciate it a lot.

But the smallest size I see is 24mm flat (about 16mm diameter?), so I'm not sure it would work for you: www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=962 http://www.batterystation.com/shrinkwrap.htm BillW

By brand I mean that the maker's brand is printed all over the tubing. This is not helpful for my use. Is there some known brand that does *not* do this that I could look at ? By brand I mean supplier (eshop) etc. Of course this information is not available on webshop sites, that's why I am asking. thanks, Peter P.

I sell no-name shring tube, but it is not shiny. http://www.voti.nl/shop/p/misc.html I now see all the pictures have reverted to transparent, I'll correct that.
