    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.

    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.

    Electrically Insulating Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Insulate and protect high-voltage devices. This tubing withstands higher voltages than standard heat-shrink tubing because it’s made of a flame-retardant material with excellent electrical insulation properties. It’s orange, so it’s easy to identify.
    For 2,500V AC Maximum Voltage
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Electrically Insulating Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Tubing for a maximum voltage of 2,500V AC is designed for use in electric vehicles. It shrinks at a lower temperature than 5,000V tubing, so you can avoid damaging nearby components when applying heat. This tubing meets UL 224 VW-1 for flame retardance.
    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.

    Often used to bundle batteries, capacitors, and other electronics, this tubing tightly conforms to objects, similar to shrink wrap. Made of PVC, it has excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, and acids. It also resists UV, so it won't fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight. All are flame rated VW-1, so this tubing meet 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.

    Low-Smoke Flame-Retardant Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Low-Smoke Flame-Retardant Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Also known as halogen-free tubing, this tubing meets MIL-C-24643 for minimal emission of smoke and gas if exposed to an open flame, so it can be used in enclosed areas such as ships and tunnels. It also has a flame-retardant additive that makes it combustion resistant and minimizes the spread of flames.
    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.
