What is FEP Heat Shrink Tubing?
FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) heat shrink tubing is a high-performance material offering a range of benefits ideal for various medical applications. Unlike many other materials, FEP tubing provides exceptional clarity, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Once heated, FEP tubing shrinks uniformly to provide a tight, conforming fit over the desired object, offering protection, insulation, or encapsulation.
Key technical features include:
• Heat Shrink Ratios: Available shrink ratios from 1.3:1 to 2:1, ensuring flexibility for different project needs.
• Size Range: Custom sizes from 0.030” to 0.350” Expanded ID are available, with lengths up to 84 inches.
• Wall Thickness: Thin, consistent walls enhance performance, with standard sizes featuring wall thicknesses from 0.008” to 0.010”.
• Sample Sizes: Our current stock includes:
• 0.115” Expanded ID Min / 0.072” Recovered ID Max / 0.008” Wall / Fr 6-8
• 0.180” Expanded ID Min / 0.113” Recovered ID Max / 0.010” Wall / Fr 9-13
This tubing is particularly suited for applications where tight tolerances are critical, offering precision and consistency every time.
Applications of FEP Heat Shrink Tubing
FEP tubing is especially relevant for catheter assemblies and other medical device applications requiring a non-stick, low-friction surface. This makes it a popular choice in cardiovascular, neurovascular, and electrophysiology devices, where smooth, biocompatible surfaces are essential for patient safety and procedural efficacy.
Beyond medical devices, FEP heat shrink tubing is also used in aerospace, electronics, and automotive industries for wire insulation, fluid transfer, and environmental protection of sensitive components. Its robust properties, including resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, make it an all-around choice for challenging environments.
