Heat Shrink Tubing - Technical Information
Other Properties (for Clear Polyester Heat Shrink Tubing)


Tensile Strength (Up to 50,000 psi or more.)

Advanced Polymers’ polyester heat shrink tubing has the highest tensile strength of any known unreinforced heat shrink tubing.

Burst Pressure

Due to it's ultra high tensile strength, Advanced Polymers polyester heat shrink tubing has the highest burst pressure of any known unreinforced tubing.
