However, their delicate surfaces are particularly susceptible to damage during stacking or storage. The <strong>FT500U heat-shrink tubing<\/strong> provides innovative and efficient protection. It serves as <strong>edge protection<\/strong> and reliably safeguards products against mechanical damage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Heat-Shrink Tubing as Edge Protection \u2013 The Ideal Solution<\/h2>\n<p>The challenge: Aluminum profiles often have sharp edges that can cause unwanted scratches or scuffs on underlying profiles during stacking or transportation. This is especially problematic for high-quality visible surfaces, where even minor damage can lead to significant quality losses. The FT500U heat-shrinking tubing provides optimal protection for any material that comes into contact with the profile.<\/p>\n<p>Application is straightforward: The heat-shrinking tubing is placed over the carrier profile and shrinks to a perfect fit when heated. This creates a precise protective layer that not only prevents scratches on adjacent products but also ensures excellent grip support due to its rough texture, reducing the risk of slippage. Additionally, the tubing does not leave any marks or discoloration. Our heat-shrinking tubing is available in both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gremco.de\/en\/fitcotube-shrinktube\/polyolefin-adhesive-lined\/\">adhesive-lined<\/a> and non-adhesive versions, with the latter allowing for easy post-application modifications or removal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gremco.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Schrumpfschlauch-FT500U-zum-Kantenschutz.jpeg\" alt=\"Tubing for edge protection\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why Heat-Shrink Tubing is Ideal for Protecting Aluminum Profiles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Effective edge protection:<\/strong> The heat-shrinking tubing securely encloses the profile, preventing direct metal-to-product contact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy application:<\/strong> The material shrinks when exposed to heat, conforming perfectly to the profile\u2019s shape.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Residue-free removal:<\/strong> The tubing can be replaced at any time without leaving any residue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No abrasion or discoloration:<\/strong> It leaves no marks on stored or transported goods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Durable and resilient:<\/strong> Our FT500U provides a robust protective layer, even under high mechanical stress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-slip properties:<\/strong> The rough surface enhances load security on transport carriers, minimizing the risk of slippage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gremco.de\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Schrumpfschlauch-FT500U-als-Kantenschutz.jpg\" alt=\"Tubing as edge protection\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Applications<\/h2>\n<p>Heat-shrink tubing is not only used for edge protection in the aluminum industry (e.g., on transport carriers) but also finds application in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gremco.de\/en\/automotive-industry\/\">automotive sector<\/a>, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. It offers versatile solutions for protecting sensitive components from damage.<\/p>\n<p>Whether for storage, transport, or manufacturing, heat-shrinking tubing is a smart solution for safeguarding delicate materials.
