Abstract
A heat shrinkable tube and system including a heat-recovered heat shrinkable tube are disclosed. The heat shrinkable tube includes an extrusion and expansion of a blend, the blend including a first polyolefin terephthalate copolymer and a second polyolefin terephthalate copolymer, the second component having a different composition from the first component. The extrusion and expansion are arranged as the heat shrinkable tube. The blend can have a glass transition temperature at least 85° C. and/or the blend can be irradiated to a higher viscosity.
