Heat Shrink Tubing Overview


Tyco Electronics Raychem brand of tubing was developed when our scientists pioneered the application of radiation crosslinking and the development of heat-shrinkable polymer products. Today, Tyco Electronics is recognized worldwide for its expertise in these areas. The Raychem brand of tubings are made of fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, and elastomers enhanced by radiation crosslinking and heat-shrinkability. When heated during installation, out tubings shrink to conform to virtually any shape. They provide dependable insulation, mechanical protection, and strain relief, as well as aesthetic appeal.

Single wall tubings are available in thin-wall, medium-wall, and thick-wall versions. With dual wall tubings, an inner wall - either an encapsulant or an adhesive - melts and flows during installation heating, to protect against environmental damage. Encapsulants protect connections and components from splashes and corrosion. Adhesives go a step further, sealing to plastic, metal, rubber, or other substrates.

You can choose from tubings that are highly flexible or semirigid, designed for operation in high or low temperature environments, and halogen-free and flame-retardant to meet a range of industry standards.
