    High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing

    With excellent durability and chemical resistance, this tubing withstands demanding use.
    Small-Diameter FEP
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    FEP tubing is more chemical resistant than PVDF tubing, and withstands higher temperatures. It resists tears from stretching or flexing, but it’s softer than PVDF tubing and less resistant to cuts.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    High-Temperature Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Temperature Moisture-Seal Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Create a moisture-resistant seal in applications where temperatures reach up to 450° F. The inner lining melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal. Made of PTFE, it also resists abrasion and chemicals. Choose tubing with a larger shrink ratio to create a tight seal over irregularly shaped objects.

    Protect light bulbs, capacitors, and other electronics—this FEP tubing adds a tear- and cut-resistant layer that even contains shattered glass if the bulb breaks. Similar to shrink wrap, it tightly conforms to objects. It’s clear, so you won’t be blocking light, including UV light, from shining through if you use it on a bulb. This tubing also resists chemicals.
