PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing 2:1 – 23053/12
Tef-Cap offers a number of excellent heat-shrink PTFE tubing products suitable for a variety of applications. Our clear heat shrink tubing PTFE is the ideal solution for industries such as automotive, aerospace, fiber optics, food, and medical, just to name a few. Teflon PTFE tubing resists corrosion, reduces weight, creates nonstick surfaces, and reduces abrasion. Our high-temperature heat-shrink tubing also meets all FDA sanitary plastic standards.
Heat Shrink Tubing PTFE 2:1 possesses excellent characteristics for use in high-temperature applications, corrosive environments, and as an electrical insulator. PTFE tubing has the lowest coefficient of friction among fluoropolymer tubing, which makes it ideal for applications that need a lubricious slippery material to reduce linear friction. PTFE heat-shrinkable tubing is chemically resistant to all common acids and solvents making it almost 100 % chemically inert. PTFE tubing has a high dielectric strength over a wide range of temperatures, which is why it is an excellent electrical insulator in corrosive environments and high-temperature applications.
AWG heat-shrinkable material is available in three different wall thicknesses, just like Extruded PTFE Tubing : standard wall, thin wall, and light wall.
PTFE resins carry a flame-resistant rating of UL94 VO and WV-1 which make it ideal for insulating, terminating, moisture sealing, splicing, wire bundling, and electrical applications. Although heat-shrinkable PTFE tubing doesn’t carry the same UL rating, it still complies with a VO rating for flame resistance. Tef-Cap also can manufacture heat shrink tubing PTFE products for applications where wires or instrumentation needs to be color-coded for identification purposes.
PTFE heat shrink tubing 2:1 offers the ultimate performance with the highest continuous working temperature of all fluoropolymers.
- PTFE possesses the lowest coefficient of friction of all polymers.
- PTFE is a non-wetting, self-lubricating material.
- PTFE tubing can be sterilized chemically and is autoclavable.
- PTFE Heat-Shrinkable Tubing is dimensionally compliant to M23053/12.
- PTFE is USP Class VI & FDA compliant.

2:1 PTFE heat shrink tubing products are a shrinkable fluoroplastic sleeve that are commonly used on electrical wires for insulation and abrasion resistance while providing stress and strain relief for connections and joints in wire harnesses. PTFE heat shrink tubing is highly versatile and a cost-effective way to increase your secondary insulation and protection.
Fluoropolymer sleeving and shrinkable tubing is available in a variety of plastic compounds from the basic PVC and polyolefin to the more expensive fluoropolymers compounds, such as PTFE, PFA, and FEP. Each material has its strong point and proper selection of material should not always be made based upon cost. Electrical properties, temperature rating, and chemical compatibility should all be considered when choosing the proper size for your application. You should always try to select a tube that is in the middle of your shrink range. Selecting too high means that you have a lot of stress still built up in the material and selecting too low means that there is a possibility that the product might not shrink enough.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has the highest temperature rating of all heat-shrinkable tubing at a continuous 500°F. The biggest drawback is that PTFE heat shrink tubing products require a minimum temperature of 625°F to begin the shrinking process. This includes the part that is being encapsulated. If the subsurface doesn’t reach 625°F, the PTFE will come in contact with the part but will not shrink completely. Lower-temperature fluoropolymers, such as fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), have a little lower temperature rating but shrink at a much lower and more controllable temperature. FEP has a continuous working temperature of 400°F but will start to shrink around 230°F which allows for encapsulation of sensitive glass or plastic parts. Both fluoropolymers are chemically inert and may be used on all sorts of applications, such as corrosive fluid handling, and even medical applications, such as coatings for catheters. PTFE tubing is known for its low coefficient of friction which makes it great for push-pull type applications that dominate the automotive industry.
High-temperature wire splicing applications can benefit from an interesting match of PTFE and FEP tubing which, when combined, create a melt liner or adhesive liner. This liner bonds to bare wires and creates an impenetrable watertight barrier between the elements and the splice.
When selecting a PTFE heat shrink tubing product for your application, there are two other factors to consider: shrink ratio and wall thickness. PTFE tubing can be developed in an extremely high shrink ratio, such as a 4:1, which is perfect for covering oddly shaped parts, or a standard 2:1 shrink ratio. Wall thicknesses are based off of the American Wire Gauge (AWG), and are set at light wall, thin wall, and standard wall.
