Heat Shrink Tubing - Applications - Tube Joining - Key Properties

  • Low shrink temperature and rapid shrinkage allows initial application without part distortion
  • The high melt temperature of polyester allows use of a high enough temperature to get the substrates to melt and flow together
  • Ultra smooth "glass like" surface finish after joining
  • Easily removed if required or thin enough to leave in place. Tubing can be pre-cut without fear of splitting or propagating during the shrink process.
  • Does not stick to most materials
  • Optically clear material enables monitoring of the process
