Manufacturing Heat Shrinkable Fluoropolymer Tubing that conforms to both Military Specs: AMS-DTL-23053/12 and AMS-DTL-23053/11. Heat Shrinkable PTFE 2:1 and 4:1. Heat Shrinkable FEP 1.25:1 , 1.3:1 and 1.6:1 products. Manufactured in the USA.
Heat Shrink FEP Tubing is easier to shrink than PTFE and can withstand temperatures as high as 400°F (204°C). Shrinkable FEP Tubing is supplied in an expanded state to allow easy coverage over instruments such as Thermocouples, Probes, Thermometers, Lighting Fixtures and other delicate electrical instruments where protection is needed. FEP provides a tight seal around components, protecting them from harsh chemical environments. As a protective sleeve, FEP helps eliminates dirt and contamination build up on components.
Tef Cap Industries manufactures both Mil-Spec and Custom Heat Shrink Tubing in FDA and USP Class VI Compliant resins such as FEP, PFA and PTFE.
