Heat Shrinkable FEP Probe Covers
Manufactured form high temperature chemically resistant Fluoropolymer Tubing, FEP Probe Covers are designed to withstand the harshest environments. Tef Cap Industries produces a clear Heat Shrinkable FEP sleeve that is designed to slip over the outer diameter of most standard thermocouples and probes and when shrunk into place provides an almost impenetrable barrier between caustic fluids and costly instruments. Tef Cap’s method of sealing Shrinkable FEP Tubing results in a smooth, round, conforming, pinhole-free seal.
Heat Shrinkable FEP Probe Covers are supplied with a nominal wall thickness of .010-inch thick wall, much thicker than conventional PTFE, FEP or PFA spray coatings that are often only 1 to 2 mils thick. FEP Probe Covers are not only chemically resistant but they are also manufactured from FDA compliant resins which allow for them to be used in food processing applications.
Encapsulation of costly thermocouples and stainless steel sensors not only helps extend the life of the parts but it also helps increase the compatibility of parts throughout several different industries and applications. FEP Probe Covers enable all coated parts to benefit from the non stick properties of Fluoropolymer Tubing.
Thermocouples, Probes, RTD’s, Thermometers and a variety of sensors all benefit from the protection offered by Fluoropolymer Probe Covers. Tef-Cap has extensive knowledge and equipment plus testing facilities to ensure that your probe is properly encapsulated and protected. Our FEP Probe Covers are designed to slip over standard size probes and shrink when exposed to a heat source of approximately 300ºF. Specific shrinking instructions are available upon request. A typical probe encapsulation should take no more than two to three minutes. If you are not comfortable with shrinking Tef-Cap Probe Covers on your instruments why not have Tef-Cap do the encapsulation for you. All probes can be encapsulated and returned on an expedited basis – generally no more than one or two days are required.

Protect Your Sensitive Instruments with Tough Materials
The FEP probe covers from Tef Cap Industries are manufactured from high-temperature, chemically resistant fluoropolymer tubing to withstand even the harshest environments. Our clear, heat-shrinkable sleeves are designed to slip over the outer diameter of your sensitive instruments. We also offer Teflon FEP roll covers, which are much more suited for various industries, including food, medical, industrial, pharmaceutical, and more, to withstand even the harshest environments.
This clear, heat-shrinkable FEP sleeve is designed to slip over the outer diameter of most instruments. When shrunk into place, they provide a virtually impenetrable barrier between caustic fluids and your costliest instruments.
What Makes an FEP Probe Cover Superior to Latex?
Our heat-shrinkable dual wall FEP and FEP probe covers are far superior to Latex. Sealing the tubing creates a smooth, round, conforming pinhole-free seal. Here’s why the FEP probe covers from Tef Cap Industries are superior to latex.
- Keeps the probe clean and sterile: FEP heat shrinkable probe covers and sleeves have a nominal wall thickness of 0.010” thicker than conventional latex and PTFE, FEP, or FPA spray coatings to keep your probes clean and sterile. This is vital in medical, pharmaceutical, and other environments where hygiene and sterility are paramount.
- Reduces the risk of cross-contamination among patients: FEP probe covers are chemically resistant and manufactured from FDA-compliant reins. This ensures that they prevent cross-contamination in medical and food processing applications for patients.
- Helps prolong the lifespan of the equipment by preventing damage or corrosion: Using FEP probe covers prolongs the lifespan of your equipment as they work to avoid damage, rust, and corrosion. These covers extend the lifespan of parts and increase the compatibility of various parts throughout several industries while enabling all coated parts to benefit from their nonstick properties. They work well to protect thermocouples, probes, RTDs, thermometers, and various other sensors.
- Easy to use and replace, saving time for healthcare professionals: Our FEP probe covers and sleeves are easy to use, helping healthcare professionals save valuable time in any medical or healthcare environment. These covers slip over standard-size probes and shrink when exposed to a heat source of approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and a typical encapsulation should take no more than two to three minutes.
- Ensures accurate and reliable readings for improved patient care and diagnosis: We can customize your FEP shrinkable probe covers and sleeves to meet your unique needs and specifications. Once applied, they allow for accurate, reliable readings to ensure improved patient care and diagnosis while protecting your valuable instruments in the process.
