Low-Voltage Insulation & High-Density Cable Looming
Our core insulation range features the versatile Thin Wall SCG Series, showcasing a reliable 2:1 shrink ratio perfectly optimized for general electrical looming, phase identification, and component insulation in delicate electronic assemblies. For advanced circuit mapping and commercial wiring networks, our specialized Printable Tube thin wall selection provides a smooth polyolefin surface ideal for clear, smudge-resistant ink jet or thermal transfer printing. To keep workshops and field service vehicles fully stocked, our portable Heat Shrink Kits bundle highly organized assortments of both single-wall and adhesive-lined sleeves into a single, impact-resistant toolbox storage case.
Heavy-Duty Moisture Protection & Fluid Barriers
For applications exposed to aggressive mechanical environments and shifting weather, Red2Go provides high-performance Dual Wall RDW Tubing featuring an advanced 3:1 shrink ratio alongside an integrated hot-melt adhesive lining. Upon heating, the inner glue liquefies and flows to form a permanent, watertight seal, making it the industry benchmark for underground automotive joints and exposed marine electrical splices. For high-temperature setups and fluid-exposed engine bays, our rugged Diesel Resistant heat shrink protects critical wiring harnesses from harsh fuels, synthetic lubricants, and chemical solvents.
Industrial Cable Jointing & Out-of-Service Protection
For commercial power distribution networks, our Medium Wall RMW Series offers an extra-high shrink ratio combined with a heavy hot-melt glue lining, providing robust, factory-grade mechanical defense for low-voltage (LV) cable joints and terminations. When executing remedial circuit repairs on existing cables, our innovative Wrap Around heat shrink repair sleeves permit a full sheath restoration rated up to 1kV without requiring technicians to cut the conductors. Furthermore, we stock heavy-duty molded End Caps to completely seal open cable ends during building construction or long-term warehouse storage, Red2Go also stock multi-core medium wall Breakouts engineered to support, seal, and route core cables cleanly prior to final termination.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the practical benefit of using dual-wall adhesive-lined heat shrink over standard thin-wall tubing?
Standard thin-wall tubing provides excellent electrical insulation and mechanical bundling, but it does not block fluid ingress. Dual-wall adhesive-lined tubing contains an inner layer of hot-melt glue that melts during the shrinking process, completely filling any air gaps and wrapping around the cable to create a factory-grade, watertight barrier against moisture, humidity, and atmospheric corrosion.
Can the diesel-resistant heat shrink tubing handle long-term exposure to engine compartment heat?
Yes, our diesel-resistant sleeves are engineered using premium cross-linked polymers that maintain structural form and chemical defense properties at high continuous operating temperatures, protecting low-voltage circuits from diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, and industrial lubricants in mining and heavy transit applications.
How does the wrap-around heat shrink sleeve allow repairs without cutting the main power cable?
The wrap-around repair sleeve is designed with an open longitudinal split and a high-strength mechanical locking rail system. This configuration allows technicians to simply wrap the flexible repair sheath directly over the damaged section of an intact cable, slide the locking strip into position, and apply heat to trigger the internal adhesive flow for a quick, 1kV-rated cable jacket repair.
What is the purpose of using medium-wall breakouts on multicore cables?
Medium-wall molded breakouts act as a rugged transition sleeve where a multicore cable separates into individual conductor strands. The adhesive lining seals the vulnerable area of the cable breakout against water and dust entry, while the heavy polymer boots give strong mechanical support to reduce physical stress and bending damage at the terminal entry point.
