Easy-to-Remove Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Fluoropolymer Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: See Table
- Dielectric Strength: 2,000 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 420° F
- Temperature Range: Not Rated to 400° F
Access connections more easily than with standard heat-shrink tubing. Make a small slit in this tubing to peel it away. Made of fluoropolymer, it resists chemicals and withstands temperatures up to 400° F.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.
High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing
With excellent resistance to tears, cuts, chemicals, and high temperatures, this tubing withstands demanding use.
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 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.

Tight-Fit High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: FEP Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: 1.3:1
- Dielectric Strength: 2,000 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 260° F
- Temperature Range: -100° to 400° F
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.
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.

Harsh Environment Heat-Shrink Tubing Assortments
Maintain a supply of tubing in a variety of sizes and materials that withstands harsh conditions such as abrasion, moisture, and chemicals.
PVC tubing has excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, and acids.
Polyolefin is for general purpose use. Polyolefin with adhesive creates a water-resistant seal; the adhesive melts when heated and bonds to the underlying surface.
PTFE has excellent abrasion resistance and withstands higher temperatures than other tubing.
FEP tubing is high strength to resist abrasion, cuts, tears, and chemicals.
PVDF resists abrasion, cuts, and tears.
