shrink wrap tubing can handle high heat ?
 

Hi Folks

I am wondering if anybody know if shrink wrap tubing can maintain its
structural integrity under high heat life cycle.

By this I mean after you have shrank it around a wire, can it still
survive if its in a high heat environment, say inside the car engine
compartment. I want to tidy up the wirings in the engine compartment
of a car to isolate grounding problems. I am hoping to use shrink wrap
tubings to insulate all the lose electrical signal wires. Any idea?
TIA

Generally yes, unless it gets so hot it disintegrates.

Joseph-

I believe the normal temperature in an engine compartment would not hurt
heat-shrink tubing. Perhaps it would be damaged if it touched an
exhaust manifold, but otherwise not likely.

That said, there is a flexible tubing for sale at auto parts stores,
that may be better (easier) for your application. It has a slit along
its length so wires can be easily inserted, removed or brought out at
intermediate locations.

Aren't those wires insulated already? If you know which ones aren't,
isn't that a major clue as to where your "grounding problems" lie?

I hope you're not planning to "tidy up" the spark plug wires, because
that is a bad idea.
