DIYers, auto enthusiasts, marine riggers, and electricians working with larger cable runs all face the same challenge: finding heat shrink tubing in the right diameter that actually stays put, seals properly, and looks professional when the job is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis 28mm heat shrink tubing features a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning the φ28mm (≈1.10\") inner diameter shrinks down to approximately φ14mm (≈0.55\") when heat is applied. Each listing covers a single continuous length — available in 1 Metre (≈3.3 ft), 2 Metre (≈6.6 ft), 5 Metre (≈16.4 ft), and 10 Metre (≈32.8 ft) — so you can buy exactly what your project requires. Made from polyolefin, the tubing is flexible, flame-retardant, and resistant to moisture and common chemicals. Choose from seven colors: Black, White, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, and Transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include automotive wiring harness protection, marine cable management, electrical panel wire bundling, and DIY home workshop cable organization.
