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.

Harsh Environment Heat-Shrink Tubing Assortments
Maintain a supply of tubing in a variety of sizes and materials that withstands harsh conditions such as abrasion, moisture, and chemicals.
PVC tubing has excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, and acids.
Polyolefin is for general purpose use. Polyolefin with adhesive creates a water-resistant seal; the adhesive melts when heated and bonds to the underlying surface.
PTFE has excellent abrasion resistance and withstands higher temperatures than other tubing.
FEP tubing is high strength to resist abrasion, cuts, tears, and chemicals.
PVDF resists abrasion, cuts, and tears.

Nuts with Built-In Sleeve for High-Temperature
Compression Tube Fittings for Food and Beverage
- Temperature Range: -40° to 270° F
- Tubing: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 45D-65D) nylon plastic, polyethylene plastic, or polypropylene plastic
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2510, NSF/ANSI 51, NSF/ANSI 61, USP Class VI
Use these nuts with high-temperature compression fittings for food and beverage to create a seal on plastic tubing. They have a built-in sleeve (ferrule), so the sleeve is positioned correctly for installation. Thread the nut onto the fitting, then insert the tubing and tighten the nut. Nuts are PVDF (also known as Kynar), which has excellent strength and can handle high temperatures up to 270° F.
