Heat Shrink Tubing MFP
3M
offering a high degree of mechanical strength and high-temperature resistance.
Fabricated from polyvinylidene fluoride, the tubing has outstanding abrasion
resistance and cut-through properties in combination with high dielectric strength. It
is inherently flame retardant, semi-rigid and highly resistant to most industrial fuels,
chemicals and solvents. When heated in excess of 347°F (175°C), MFP tubing
rapidly shrinks to a skintight fit.
Meets requirements of:
• SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/8 and functional requirements of 23053/1B, Class 1*
• AMS-3532
• UL Listed, UL File E-39100, VW-1
• CSA LR38227, OFT
*Formerly: MIL-I-23053/8 and MIL-DTL-23053/8
MFP tubing is typically used for shrink-fit protection and strain relief of wires, solder
joints, terminals and connections. Suggested applications include automotive
wiring, jackets, fuse coverings and military wire markers. Because the tubing is
transparent, it allows see-through inspection and identification, and is ideal for use
as a jacketing for components such as resistors and capacitors. The tubing is
readily marked by hot-stamp and print-wheel equipment.
MFP tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to
50% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is
proportional to the degree of recovery.
The operating temperature range is from -55°C (-67°F) to 175°C (347°F ), with a
shrinking temperature minimum of 175°C (347°F)
