SPIDER Automation | PVC Heat Shrink Sleeve – 100mm, 1 Meter | Sky Blue Battery Pack Insulation & Protection
Product Overview & Material Technology
The PVC Heat Shrink Sleeve is designed to provide an insulating and protective outer covering for lithium battery cell packs and other electrical assemblies. Its large-format sleeve construction makes it suitable for covering battery packs where a conventional small-diameter heat-shrink tube is not appropriate.
Manufactured from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), the sleeve provides an external layer of electrical insulation and mechanical protection. When heated using a suitable hair dryer or heat gun, the material shrinks around the assembly to create a closer-fitting protective cover. This helps keep battery cells and pack components together while improving the overall finish.
The sky blue colour offers an additional visual identification benefit for battery packs, wires and electrical components. It can help distinguish different assemblies and create a clean, organised appearance in battery manufacturing, repair and electrical installation work.
Supplied in a 1-meter length, the sleeve can be cut according to the required battery pack dimensions and application. The specified diameter is 100mm, while the product feature information also mentions a width of 110mm; the measurement convention should be confirmed before selecting it for a specific pack.
Technical Features & Performance Characteristics
- PVC Material Construction: Made from Polyvinyl Chloride, providing an insulating outer covering for battery packs and electrical assemblies.
- Large-Format Sleeve: The stated 100mm diameter is intended for applications requiring a wider protective sleeve.
- 110mm Stated Width: The product feature information specifies a width of 110mm; confirm whether this represents flat width or another measurement.
- Heat-Shrink Function: Designed to shrink around an assembly when exposed to suitable heating.
- Electrical Insulation: Provides an external insulating layer around covered battery cells and electrical components.
- Mechanical Protection: Helps protect the covered assembly from routine handling and external contact.
- Battery Pack Retention: Helps hold battery pack components together under the sleeve.
- Sky Blue Finish: Supports visual identification and colour-based organisation of electrical assemblies.
- Cut-to-Length Format: The 1-meter sleeve can be cut to suit the required application length.
- Heat Application: Can be installed using a suitable hair dryer or heat gun, with controlled heating for an even fit.
Performance Advantages
- Improved Assembly Protection: Adds an external protective layer around lithium battery packs and electrical assemblies.
- Insulated Outer Covering: Helps reduce the risk of unintended electrical contact with covered components.
- Neater Battery Pack Finish: Provides a uniform outer appearance compared with exposed cell assemblies.
- Flexible Length Selection: Allows users to cut the 1-meter sleeve according to their assembly requirements.
- Easy Heat-Based Installation: Supports installation using commonly available heating equipment.
- Visual Identification: The sky blue colour helps distinguish battery packs and organised wiring assemblies.

Installation & Operating Recommendations
- Measure the Assembly: Check the battery pack’s overall dimensions and confirm sleeve suitability before cutting.
- Cut to Required Length: Cut the sleeve to provide adequate coverage for the intended battery assembly.
- Position the Sleeve: Slide the sleeve over the battery pack and position it evenly before applying heat.
- Apply Controlled Heat: Use a suitable hair dryer or heat gun and distribute heat gradually around the sleeve.
- Avoid Excessive Heating: Keep the heat source moving and avoid overheating the PVC sleeve or the battery cells. Follow the battery manufacturer’s temperature limits.
- Inspect Before Use: Allow the assembly to cool and check that the sleeve is fitted properly without damage or exposed areas requiring additional protection.
