- Flame-retardant material withstands -67 °F to 230 °F
- Abrasion, acid and alkali resistant for harsh environments
- Ten six-inch black pieces ready for immediate use
3M EPS300 Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tube
This pack contains ten pieces of black dual-wall heat shrink tubing designed for wire insulation and environmental sealing. Each piece measures six inches long and fits wire sizes from 12 AWG to 8 AWG. The adhesive liner melts during shrinking to create a moisture-resistant bond. It suits electricians and technicians needing reliable cable repairs or splices.
3:1 Shrink Ratio Polyolefin Construction
The tubing is made from flexible, flame-retardant polyolefin with a 3:1 shrink ratio for a tight fit over irregular shapes. Inner diameter shrinks from 0.38 in to 0.12 in, leaving a 0.03 in wall thickness after recovery. Abrasion and chemical resistance protect wires from acid, alkali and mechanical wear. Individual pieces allow precise cutting for each job.
-67 to 230 Degrees F Operating Range
Minimum shrink temperature is 250 Degrees F, activating the adhesive liner for a permanent seal. The wide temperature rating ensures performance in extreme cold and high-heat environments. Flame-retardant material adds safety in automotive or industrial settings. No special tools are required beyond a standard heat gun.

Questions about this item
What shrink ratio does the 3M EPS300 tubing provide, and what inside diameter does it reach after shrinking?
The tubing has a 3:1 shrink ratio, reducing the inside diameter from 0.38 in to 0.12 in after full recovery.
What wire gauge range and cut length does each piece in the 10-pack cover?
Each 6 in piece is suited for wire sizes from 12 AWG to 8 AWG.
What minimum temperature is needed to activate the adhesive liner, and what tool mistake should be avoided?
Apply at least 250 °F evenly around the tube; avoid concentrating heat in one spot, which can scorch the polyolefin before the adhesive flows.
