Heat Gun vs Hair Dryer
It is often asked whether a hairdryer can perform the same job as a heat gun when it comes to shrinking wrapping. So, let's dive into the video.
Number 1
Can you use a hairdryer instead of a heat gun?
As hair dryers and heat guns have very similar functions, you can use a hairdryer instead of a heat gun for certain applications. If you are removing labels/stickers, removing candle wax, or similar tasks then a hairdryer can be used instead of a heat gun. However, if you use it regularly for these sorts of tasks it will quickly overheat and become damaged because of course, this is not the purpose of its design.
Heat guns are designed to perform these hot air application tasks to a high standard and so provide more concentrated airflow than hair dryers do. Because of this, heat guns are much more efficient because the air isn’t being scattered around like it is with a hairdryer which has a wide stream of air rather than a narrow one like a heat gun.
Number 2
How does shrink wrap work?
Shrinkwrapping is the method of covering an object with a plastic film. The films can either be clear or printed and form a cover around the object. The film is sealed using heat that is applied directly to it. It is most famously seen among car-wrappers that apply shrink wrap film to cars to change their color and appearance. The best tool for carrying out this type of work is a heat gun and not a hairdryer.
Number 3
Can you heat shrink with a hairdryer?
If you put your hairdryer on its hottest setting you probably could produce some desired heat shrink application results. However, using a hairdryer to apply heat shrink will take a very long time and the results will not be as good as if you used a heat gun. The maximum temperature of a hairdryer is 140°C, whereas a heat gun’s maximum temperature is around 700°C. This difference in heat is the difference between a professional-looking shrink wrap and a huge saving in time.
Number 4
What is the best heat gun to buy?
The best and most appropriate heat gun we offer for heat shrink application is the Steinel HG 2120 E Heat Gun. This heat gun and its accessories have become so popular among car-wrappers that Steinel has developed their very own Car Wrapper Set. This set includes the HG 2120 E Heat Gun as well as the HL Scan which is a high-quality temperature scanner.
