About Heat-Shrink Tubing

High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing
With excellent resistance to tears and cuts, this tubing withstands demanding use. It also resists chemicals.
PVDF tubing has an additive that makes it flame retardant, so it resists combustion and minimizes the spread of flames.
SAE AMS-DTL-23053/8 and SAE AMS-DTL-23053/11 tubing meets requirements for material quality.
Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
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 plastic tubing is more chemical resistant than rubber. 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-DTL-23053/1 Class 2, 23053/2 Class 2, and 23053/13 tubing meets requirements for material quality and color.
Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
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.

Electrical-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.
Tubing for a maximum voltage of 2500V AC is designed for use in electric vehicles. It shrinks at a lower temperature than 5000V tubing, so you can avoid damaging nearby components when applying heat. This tubing meets UL 224 VW-1 for flame retardance.
Tubing for a maximum voltage of 5000V AC protects bus bars and other high-voltage devices. It meets ANSI C37.20 for insulating metal-enclosed equipment that generates, transmits, and distributes power.
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.
