- Material: PVC Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: 2:1
- Dielectric Strength: 1,000 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 215° F
- Temperature Range: 0° to 220° F
Made of PVC, this tubing resists chemicals, oil, and solvents. An adhesive lining melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal. It resists UV, so it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.

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.

- Material: PTFE Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: 2:1
- Dielectric Strength: 455 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 655° F
- Temperature Range: -450° to 500° F
With thin walls, this tubing shrinks faster than other high-temperature tubing. Made of PTFE, it withstands temperatures up to 500° F and resists abrasion and chemicals. It’s also UV resistant, so it won’t fade in sunlight.
Tubing with a 0.006" – 0.01" minimum wall thickness after shrinking is often used on extremely thin (0.014" - 0.038") guide wire to help maintain the thinness of the wire. It’s also good for splicing fiber optics—it minimizes damage to the fibers.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.

Create a permanent seal without applying heat. Also known as cold-shrink tubing, this tubing has a removable spiral-wound core. Slide the tubing over wire and cable and pull out the core. When the core is removed, the tubing contracts and conforms to the underlying cable. The length shrinks by several inches. Made of EPDM rubber, it resists chemicals including acids, alkalies, and ozone. Resistant to UV, it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight. It meets ANSI C119.1 for water seal requirements and can be submerged.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.

Shield shipments of metal equipment that could be exposed to the outdoors for long periods of time. This film is treated to prevent fading and degrading in the sun, while a built-in inhibitor guards the contents underneath from rain, snow, and humidity. It’s often used in place of oils and desiccants that prevent rust, so you don’t need to clean or degrease your equipment before covering it. Shrink the film with a heat gun to create a formfitting barrier that keeps out moisture and dirt.
At least six times thicker than standard heat-shrink film, you can drag and shrink this film over corners of equipment without it tearing. It’s large enough to cover forklifts, industrial compressors, or even a boat, but it’s easy enough to trim down using a utility knife. This film comes folded on a roll for efficient storage.
Clear film makes it easy to identify and check on covered equipment. It meets ASTM standards for plastic film.
Note: One mil equals 0.001”.
Flame-Retardant Heavy Duty Heat-Shrink Film
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/541/5415n11-rev@halfx_30jc6_1712845608.png?ver=imagenotfound)
Protect equipment exposed to flames and sparks. This film is often used on shipments staged in machine shops or construction sites where sparks may fly from welding and grinding. To meet NFPA 701 standards, this film self-extinguishes flames. It is also treated to prevent weakening and disintegrating from UV exposure, so your equipment will remain protected outdoors for up to a year. Shrink the film with a heat gun to create a formfitting barrier.
Eight times thicker than standard heat-shrink film, you can drag and shrink this film over corners of equipment without it tearing. It's large enough to cover forklifts, industrial compressors, or even a boat, but it's easy enough to trim down using a utility knife. This film comes folded on a roll for efficient storage.
Note: One mil equals 0.001".
Reinforced UV-Resistant Heavy Duty Heat-Shrink Film
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/568/5688n11-@halfx_pcj4l_1715114133.png?ver=imagenotfound)
Cover objects with sharp angles and points with this film to protect them from sun, dirt, moisture, and damage. Thicker and wider than standard heat-shrink film, it’s also woven with fibers that help it stretch over odd shapes without tearing. A UV-resistant additive shields material from sunlight for up to one year, so you can keep material outdoors for extended periods without it becoming brittle, fading, or discoloring. Heat the film with a heat gun to create a snug barrier. This film is folded on the roll, so you get a wide film that takes up a fraction of the storage space. Cut it to the size you need.
Note: One mil equals 0.001".
