They are always willing to help with lead times and samples and are very easy to work with and get ahold of.
Strengths: They are very willing to accommodate fast lead times and get material out as fast as possible when needed. If they have resin in stock, they will work to get out full or partial shipments as soon as possible, usually within days. Their irradiated Pebax HS performs well and consistently.
Needs to improve: We had one instance of heat shrink not recovering fully but they found the problem and resolved it and replaced material very quickly, even though it was not called out as a critical dimension.

Cobalt has supplied us with Pebax heat shrink tubing with quality I have not found anywhere else. Their technical support to help decide the best Pebax durometer and ideal process for our needs shows their expertise in the material. The prices however were not sustainable for us in the long-run so decided with a different design.
Strengths: Pebax heat shrink tubing, Customer service, Reliable, Excellent quality, Technical support
Needs to improve: Pricing, lead times
Cobalt sells high quality medical standard Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing and various other products. The biggest sell point, however, is that they will make what you want, even if they don't already have it. That kind of service is hard to come by. R&D units everywhere should know about these guys.
Strengths: If they don't have what you need in stock, they'll make it.
Needs to improve: N/A
We use alot of their heat shrink tubings at work. They are used on a daily basis on our dialysis machines. They help eliminate heat resistance against other components when in use. The quality of the heat shrink tubings are awesome. Last a long time. Never had to replace during our rework process. Great customer service
Strengths: Good quality heat shrink tubings

Cobalt produces quality heat shrink tubing. They carry a large inventory of stock sizes and will custom make tubing to your needs. I wish their stock tubing was crosslinked a bit more so it was bit more durable when heated. I've had them produce custom heat shrink tubing with good results.

Really nice heat shrink Pebax in a variety of durometers. This material has helped us to eliminate a fusing process and the associated labor to remove FEP heat shrink. The tubing itself can get a little expensive, but it worked out to a cost savings for us.
Strengths: Pebax heat shrink tubing
Needs to improve: none

I ordered several different types of Heat Shrink form them. They make some high tech sounding heat shrink, but in the end they all kind of are just heat shrink. They do have a good selection if you have very specific needs.
