FAQ:

How does PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing  work?

PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing is made of materials such as PTFE and polyolefin, which have good elasticity and plasticity. When heated by a heat source, the internal materials will flow and uniformly adhere to the protected object. As the temperature increases, the PTFE heat shrink tubing will shrink and tightly wrap around the protected object, playing a protective and sealing role.

How to use PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing?

When using PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing, first place the protected object inside the tubing, and then use a heat source (such as a hot air gun or oven) to heat the PTFE heat shrink tubing, causing it to shrink and tightly wrap around the protected object. During the heating process, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the temperature and time to avoid excessive heating causing damage or foaming of the pipes.

Can PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing be used for high-temperature applications?

Yes, PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing has good high-temperature resistance and can be used in high-temperature environments. Its maximum operating temperature can reach 260 ℃ and it can maintain stable performance even in long-term high-temperature environments.

What is the difference between PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing and other types of tubing?

Compared with other types of pipes, PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing pipes have better heat resistance, electrical insulation, chemical stability, aging resistance and other advantages, and are more convenient to operate. In addition, its contraction ratio is large and fast, which can better adapt to various shapes of protected objects.
