    About Heat-Shrink Tubing
    industrial info icon

    Find tubing with the right shrink ratio, flexibility, and dielectric strength. Plus, compare materials by chemical resistance temperature, and more.

    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.

    Easy-Removal Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Easy-Removal Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    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—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.
