Material Properties
Zeus Dual-Shrink® tubing, constructed with an exterior of heat shrink PTFE and an inner layer of FEP, provides a tight, moisture-proof bond over wires, cables, connectors, splices, terminals and other components. The PTFE outer layer shrinks tightly over mandrels when heated while the FEP melts and flows into a solid or near-solid encapsulation with a tight fit that enables it to withstand severe stress from pull or vibration. This tubing possesses all the electrical, chemical and mechanical properties of other PTFE products including lubricity, biocompatibility, tight tolerances and resistance to a wide range of temperatures and chemicals. The PTFE heat shrink recovery temperature is between 654°F (346°C) and 670°F (354°C).
Markets & Applications ▼
Zeus Dual-Shrink® tubing serves critical functions in several industries including the aerospace, automotive, electrical, fluid transfer, fiber optics and medical fields. The aerospace industry is growing in its use of polymers in aircraft design. PTFE heat shrink products are used in wire harness applications and also provide seamless coverings to composite forming mandrels. They are also used for fiber optic, hydraulic, wire coating and sealing solutions. Component Supply provides some information for potential heat shrink applications, but generally there are too many possibilities for a comprehensive description. As you consider prospective applications in your industry, please contact one of our knowledgeable representatives who are prepared to assist researchers and product designers in choosing the best products.
Custom Fabrication & Contract Manufacturing ▼
Component Supply offers PTFE/FEP heat shrink tubing in standard 4-foot lengths. However, our proprietary processes and equipment give us the expertise to cut this tubing to customer-specific lengths. Our cuts are straight, maintain the integrity of the tubing dimensions and hold tight tolerances. Minimum quantities may apply depending on current stock.
Quality, Compliance, & Regulatory ▼
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 compliance statements are available upon request at the time of order.
