Fluorostore - Model FEP 1.3X -Fractional and AWG Heat Shrink Tubing

• Resistance to high temperatures (450 F / 232 C)
• Excellent dielectric strength to aid in electrical insulation
• Flame resistant - UL 94 V-0 rated
• Conforms to AMS-DTL-23053/11 (Mil 23053/11)
• Sterilization - tolerates Gamma, ETO, e-beam, and autoclave protocols
• Transparent in color to monitor components

OVEN

• Parts may be charged into a hot or room temperature oven. The oven temperature must be increased to more than the “shrinking” temperature.
• Parts should be ideally suspended or supported without touching the hot oven surfaces
• Uniform application of heat is essential to prevent wrinkling
• With small parts, a fast cycle (in and out of the oven rapidly) may be used to shrink the tubing, avoiding unnecessary heating

 HEAT GUN with Temperature Range 500 F to 700 F (260 C – 400 C)

• A heat gun is a convenient and practical tool to apply heat when an oven is not available or not necessary
• Parts may be covered one at a time
• Uniform shrinkage requires rotating the part while heat is being applied. Baffles may be used to achieve uniform heat distribution around the part
• For larger parts, heat distribution can be improved by assembling baffles of sheet metal, or ceramic plate to direct and distribute the heat uniformly around the part
