FEP Heat Shrink Tubing

Product Description

FEP Heat Shrink Tubing, made from high-purity fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), provides exceptional electrical insulation, high chemical resistance, and superior thermal stability. This advanced fep tubing shrinks tightly around wires, cables, connectors, and other components when heat is applied, ensuring secure protection and enhanced performance. With its excellent optical clarity, UV resistance, and non-stick surface, fep heat shrink tubing is widely used in industries requiring high reliability and clean insulation solutions.

Product Features 

• Outstanding Thermal Resistance
  Because FEP has a melting point of around 260°C (500°F) and maintains stability over a wide temperature range, it provides excellent heat resistance and ensures long-term reliable insulation in high-temperature environments.

• Superior Chemical Resistance
  Because the molecular structure of FEP is highly stable and non-reactive, it resists almost all industrial chemicals—including strong acids, bases, and solvents—so the tubing maintains durability and performance even in corrosive conditions.

• Excellent Electrical Insulation
  Because FEP exhibits a very low dielectric constant and power factor, it significantly reduces power loss, so fep heat shrink tubing is an ideal choice for high-voltage insulation in sensitive electronic systems.

• High Transparency
  Because FEP material has excellent optical clarity, the tubing allows easy visual inspection of wires and connectors, helping engineers quickly identify potential issues during installation and maintenance.

• UV and Weather Resistance
  Because FEP resists UV rays and extreme weather, it can be used both indoors and outdoors, ensuring long-term stability without degradation from sunlight or harsh environments.

• Non-Stick Surface
  Because the FEP surface is naturally non-stick, dust, oils, and other contaminants are less likely to adhere, making it easier to clean and maintain cables in demanding environments.

Product Advantages

• Reliable Protection: Prevents cables and connectors from mechanical wear, corrosion, and environmental damage.

• Enhanced Safety: Provides flame resistance (VW-1 rating) and helps minimize risks of electrical failure.

• Low Maintenance Cost: Long service life reduces replacement frequency and downtime.

• Space-Efficient Design: Shrinks uniformly around components, saving installation space compared to bulky protective covers.

• Compliance: Meets RoHS, REACH, and FDA requirements, ensuring global applicability.

Precautions / Notes

• Ensure proper heating temperature (generally 175–200°C) for uniform shrinking.

• Avoid excessive heating to prevent damage or deformation.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and corrosive environments.

• Choose the correct size: recommended shrink ratio is typically 1.6:1 or 2:1 for fep heat shrink tubing.
