PVDF Clear Heat Shrink Tubing may also be used with wiremarkers or for wire insulation and component stress relief. Clear Heat Shrink Tubing may be used to replace non-flame retarded clear sleeving.

Questions:

What makes heat shrink tubing shrinkable?

You've probably noticed that most plastics you come in contact with won't just shrink down if they're heated – so what makes heat shrink tubing different? The answer is cross-linking, the process of exposing a polymer to radiation in order to create covalent bonds between that polymer's atoms. it was discovered that radiation was capable of altering the molecular structure of certain plastics so that they wouldn't melt or develop a flowing consistency, no matter what temperatures they were exposed to. Covalent bonds also give polymers plastic memory, which means that once a polymer has been cross-linked and stretched into an expanded shape, it will automatically shrink back to its original dimensions when a certain amount of heat is applied.
