    High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing

    With excellent durability and chemical resistance, this tubing withstands demanding use.
    PVDF
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    PVDF tubing resists cuts from being dragged over rough surfaces, along with tears from stretching or flexing. It has an additive that makes it flame retardant, so it resists combustion and minimizes the spread of flames.
    SAE AMS-DTL-23053/8—SAE AMS-DTL-23053/8 tubing meets requirements for material quality.
    UL 224 VW-1—Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
    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-Shrink-Ratio High-Temperature Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Shrink-Ratio High-Temperature Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    This tubing shrinks down to a quarter of its original ID, so it creates a tight seal over irregularly shaped objects. Made of PTFE, it withstands temperatures up to 500° F and resists abrasion and chemicals.
    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.
    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.

    Thin-Wall High-Temperature Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Thin-Wall High-Temperature Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    With thin walls, this tubing shrinks faster than other high-temperature tubing. Made of PTFE, it withstands temperatures up to 500° F and resists abrasion and chemicals. It’s also UV resistant, so it won’t fade in sunlight.
    0.006" Minimum Wall Thickness After Shrinking, 0.008" Minimum Wall Thickness After Shrinking, and 0.01" Minimum Wall Thickness After Shrinking—Tubing with a 0.006" – 0.01" minimum wall thickness after shrinking is often used on extremely thin (0.014" - 0.038") guide wire to help maintain the thinness of the wire. It’s also good for splicing fiber optics—it minimizes damage to the fibers.
    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.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Flame-Retardant Abrasion-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Made of PVDF, this tubing has excellent cut and abrasion resistance. A flame-retardant additive makes it combustion resistant and minimizes the spread of flames. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Tubing meets SAE AMS-DTL-23053/18 Class 2 for material quality and color.
    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.

    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.
