Heat-shrink tubing

insulatingprotectionthermal protection

Overview
PTFE heat shrink tubing from Saint-Gobain is designed to protect components exposed to aggressive chemicals and high temperatures. Supplied in an expanded state, the tubing recovers to its nominal diameter when heat is applied, forming a tight protective jacket over wires, sensors and other substrates. Rated for continuous use up to 260°C (500°F).

Key highlights

• Resistance to aggressive chemicals and solvents
• Maximum continuous use temperature: 260°C (500°F)
• Melting temperature: approximately +320°C
