  208 - Semi-Rigid Polyolefin
 
       
  208 - Is a semi rigid polyolefin heat shrink product rated for -55°C to 135°C continuous operation for use with automatic feed equipment or other industrial, military/aerospace, and commercial applications requiring exceptional strain relief.  
     
  208MW - A medium wall cross-linked polyolefin heat shrink tubing with a 3:1 shrink ratio suitable for a variety of low voltage and mechanical applications where lighter weight and greater flexibility are important. High resistance to impact and abrasion, seals and protects cable splices and terminations. Product has a continuous operating temperature of -55 deg C to 110 deg C, shrink temperature of 120 deg C. Available with a thermoplastic adhesive liner for complete environmental protection and insulation.  
     
  208HW - A heavy wall cross-linked polyolefin heat shrink tubing with a 3:1 shrink ratio providing maximum reliability for insulating and protecting cable joints and terminations. High impact, abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance. Withstands the severe mechanical requirements of U.R.D., submersible and direct burial installations. Product has a continuous operating temperature of -55 deg C to 110 deg C, shrink temperature of 120 deg C. Available with a thermoplastic adhesive liner for complete environmental protection and insulation.  
     
  205 - Dual-Wall Polyolefin Heat Shrinkable Tubing  
     
 

205 - A flexible adhesive-lined polyolefin shrink tubing over a thin layer of thermoplastic adhesive. It is rated for continuous operation at -55°C to 110°C. When heated above 121°C, the adhesive melts and is forced into contact with the covered product as the outer tube shrinks.

When the tubing cools, the adhesive solidifies and forms a flexible waterproof barrier. Typical applications include covering of marine and wire splices and protection of components.

 
     
 

205 2:1 - An adhesive lined polyolefin with a 2:1 shrink ratio

Also available in a 4:1 and 6:1 shrink ratio, contact us for more information or quote. UL approved version is also available as required.

 
     
  204 - Neoprene Heat Shrinkable Tubing    
     
  Neoprene heat shrink tubing is a modified Polychloroprene (Neoprene®) heat shrink tubing not affected by common fluids and solvents. One of the outstanding properties of this Neoprene shrink tubing is its ability to maintain flexibility at low temperatures. It is ideal for use under severe environmental conditions. Minimum shrink temperature is 135°C.
 
     
  209 - Kynar Heat Shrinkable Tubing  
     
  Kynar is a cross-linked, heat shrinkable, polyvinylidene fluoride fluoroplastic. Normally used in applications requiring an excellent high continuous temperature rating, flame and chemical resistance and rigidity for strain relief, as well as excellent resistance to cut-through and abrasion.  
     
  206 - Melt Wall Polyolefin  
     
  A semi-rigid, co-extruded tubing that provides a meltable inner wall. It is rated for continuous operation at -55°C to 110°C and can stand elevated temperatures for brief periods. When heated above 135°C, the inner meltable wall softens and is forced into contact with the covered product as the outer tube shrinks. When the tubing cools, it provides a tough coating that is very resistant to chemicals and moisture. The tubing has a 2.5:1 shrink ratio and will shrink down to 40% of its original diameter when fully recovered. A few sizes can accommodate a wide range of applications. It is easily removed and excellent for rework, retrofit and repairs in the field. Typical applications include electrical and mechanical assemblies, breakouts and end sealing of cables and rigid tubing.  
     
  212 - Viton Heat Shrinkable Tubing  
     
  Viton heat shrink tubing is an electrical grade cross-linked modified fluoroelastomer (Viton®) tubing with a 2:1 shrink ratio, rated for -55°C to 200°C continuous operation. Viton tubing is very abrasion resistant, flexible and resistant to most fuels, acids and alkalis. It is typically used as a wiring and component cover in aircraft and aerospace applications and chemical plants  
     
  210 - PTFE Heat Shrinkable Tubing  
     
 

210 - Fluoropolymer PTFE used in applications of extreme electrical, thermal, and chemical environments. Very lubricious, chemically resistant and inert. Excellent dielectric insulating properties. The extreme chemical inertness of PTFE heat shrink tubing combined with its high temperature resistance makes it an ideal product for use as a strain relief, fiber optic splice cover and whenever an inert, high temperature shrink tubing is required. Minimum shrink temperature is 328°C and care must be taken to avoid shrink temperatures above 357°C.

Available in a 2:1 shrink ratio with standard, thin and light wall, and a 4:1 ratio.

 
     
  210/211 - A dual fluoropolymer PTFE/FEP heat shrink tubing constructed with an exterior of heat shrink PTFE and an inner layer of FEP. It is easy to apply, and is designed to provide a tight, moisture-proof bond over wires, cables, connectors, splices, terminals, etc. The PTFE shrinks tightly over inserted parts when the covered section is heated, while the FEP melts and flows into a solid or near-solid encapsulation with a fit so tight that it can withstand the most severe stresses involving pull or vibration. Product 210/211 heat shrink tubing provides all the outstanding electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties of PTFE, including a service temperature up to 450° F (232° C).  
     
  211 - FEP Heat Shrinkable Tubing
 
     
  211 - Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) heat shrink tubing is a widely used, lower cost alternative to PTFE. FEP has similar dielectric and frictional properties to PTFE. Although PTFE has superior chemical resistance to FEP, FEP can be used in most applications suited for PTFE. The major difference between the two materials is the continuous use temperature. FEP heat shrinkable tubing is suitable for continuous use at temperatures up to 204°C. Another advantage FEP has over PTFE is its much lower shrink temperature. While PTFE needs a temperature of over 300°C to shrink it, FEP heat shrink can shrink as low as 190°C. This can be a significant advantage when used in conjunction with temperature sensitive components. . FEP heat shrink conforms to Mil-I-23053/11.  
     
 

211-RC - FEP fluoropolymer heat shrinkable roll covers are specifically engineered to extend roller life and eliminated roller build-up and picking. FEP roll covers are produced with a .020” wall thickness for rollers from 1/2 to 12 inches in diameter and lengths up to 10 feet.
