    SAE AMS-DTL-23053/5 Class 1, SAE AS23053/5 Class 1, and SAE AS23053/5 Class 3—SAE tubing meets requirements for material quality and color.
    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.

    Chemical-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Use this tubing where wire and cable may be exposed to chemicals, oil, and acids.
    PVC (Short)
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Chemical-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    PVC tubing is more chemical resistant than neoprene and Viton® fluoroelastomer. It also resists UV, so it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight. Store tubing at 70° F or lower to avoid premature shrinkage.
    SAE AMS-I-23053/2 Class 2—SAE AMS-I-23053/2 Class 2 tubing meets requirements for material quality and color.
    UL 2556 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.

    FEP—FEP tubing is high strength to resist abrasion, cuts, tears, and chemicals.
    Polyolefin—Polyolefin is for general purpose use.
    PTFE—PTFE has excellent abrasion resistance and withstands higher temperatures than other tubing.
    PVC—PVC tubing has excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, and acids.
    PVDF—PVDF resists abrasion, cuts, and tears.
    Adhesive Mount—Adhesive-mount polyolefin creates a water-resistant seal; the adhesive melts when heated and bonds to the underlying surface.
