Material Properties
Zeus FEP heat shrink tubing provides a tight, anti-corrosive covering for critical components subjected to acute environmental conditions. The application of heat shrink tubing prolongs the life of the items it covers and supports efficient performance. FEP is resistant to most chemicals except molten alkali metals, fluorine (gas) and some other halogen complexes. It also has excellent dielectric strength. FEP heat shrink is sometimes a preferred choice over PTFE, particularly in medical device applications, because of its lower shrink temperature (400 degrees) and its ability to be autoclaved and gamma sterilized.
Markets & Applications ▼
FEP's material qualities make it suitable for a diverse range of applications including use in environmental monitoring equipment, medical devices, such as catheter fusing, and electronics. It is an ideal material for applications needing insulation because of its dielectric strength. If a particular application suiting your purposes is not described on this or any other related product pages, please contact a Component Supply representative who can answer your questions and guide you toward an appropriate product for your application.
Custom Fabrication & Contract Manufacturing ▼
Component Supply offers FEP heat shrink tubing with a 1.3:1 ratio. Heat shrink tubing comes in its expanded state, but a brief application of heat enables the tubing to mold itself around a component to create a snug, seamless covering. Standard 4-foot lengths are available; however, our proprietary processes and equipment give us the expertise to produce customer-specific lengths precisely fitting the items needing coverage and making them as effective as possible in their application. Component Supply provides straight cuts, which maintain the integrity of the tubing dimensions and hold tight tolerances. Minimum quantities may apply depending on current stock. For more custom fabrication information, please contact a Component Supply representative who can inform you of the best options for your specific application.
Quality, Compliance, & Regulatory ▼
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 compliance statements are available upon request at the time of order.
