FEP Heat Shrink Tube
The FEP Heat Shrink Tube boasts a composition rooted in fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), a thermoplastic polymer renowned for its exceptional properties in medical applications.
FEP exhibits a unique combination of characteristics that make it ideally suited for medical tubing. Its molecular structure imparts remarkable clarity to the tubing, allowing for optimal visualization of fluids and instruments during medical procedures, essential for accurate monitoring and precise manipulation.
Features
- Lower heat shrink temperature:FEP heat shrink tubing has a lower heat shrink temperature than other fluorinated heat shrink tubing, such as PTFE, PFA
- It has better flexibility, light transmittance and high lubricity than PFA.
- The recommended shrinking temperature is 80℃-240℃. The shrinking temperature and shrinking time vary depending on the design.
- Demaxcan provide FEP heat shrink tubing with shrinkage ratios of 1.3:1, 1.6:1 and 1.8:1.
