Abstract
A heat shrink tubing is provided exhibiting various desirable properties, which generally comprises at least one fluorinated polymeric resin. The tubing can exhibit desirable physical properties such as heat shrink capability, high expansion/recovery ratio, low longitudinal shrinkage, low temperature recovery, and an average wall thickness of less than about 0.003 inches.
Claims20
A heat shrink tubing having a recovery ratio (RR) greater than about 5:1, wherein the heat shrink tubing comprises one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of fluoropolymers and polyaryletherketones.
A heat shrink tubing having a recovery ratio (RR) greater than about 5:1, wherein the heat shrink tubing comprises a polyaryletherketone.
A heat shrink tubing having a recovery ratio (RR) greater than about 5.5:1, wherein the heat shrink tubing comprises one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of fluoropolymers and polyaryletherketones.
A heat shrink tubing having a recovery ratio (RR) greater than about 5:1, wherein the heat shrink tubing comprises one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of fluoropolymers and polyaryletherketones, wherein the heat shrink tubing has an average wall thickness of 0.003 inches or less after expansion.
