Typical Applications
The extra flexibility and low shrink
temperature of VFP-876 Tubing make it
ideal for shrink-fit jacketing and
insulation of flexible wire bundles and
sensitive components.
Shrink Ratio
VFP-876 Tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio.
When freely recovered, the tubing will
shrink to 50% of its as-supplied internal
d i a m e t e r. The recovered wall thickness
of the tubing is proportional to the degree
of recovery. High expansion-ratio
VFP-876 Tubing is available subject to
factory quotation.
