175°C High Performance Flexible Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF or Kynar®) Tubing
High Temperature, Chemical-Resistant, Semi-Rigid Tubing
Our PVDF Heat Shrink tubing is especially suitable for applications requiring high-temperature performance, outstanding abrasion resistance and cut-through resistance, or superior chemical and solvent properties.
Kynar Characteristics
- Tough, semi rigid, very thin-wall insulation
- High flame-resistance
- Protection from most industrial solvents, fuels and chemicals
Kynar Applications
- Electrical insulation and strain relief
- Applications requiring dense packaging of components or visual inspection of covered components
Polyvinylidene Fluoride Specifications
- UL, VW-1, File No. E323941
- RoHS Compliant
- Minimum full recovery temperature: 175°C
- Standard colors: Clear
