About Heat-Shrink Tubing
More
High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing
With excellent durability and chemical resistance, 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.

Easy-to-Remove Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Fluoropolymer Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: See Table
- Dielectric Strength: 2,000 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 420° F
- Maximum Temperature: 390 °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 390° F.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.
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.
FEP tubing is high strength to resist abrasion, cuts, tears, and chemicals.
