Introducing
WATER-CLEAR, HIGHLY FLAME RETARDANT MODIFIED POLYVINYLIDENE FLOURIDE*, 2 TO 1 SHRINK RATIO HEAT SHRINKABLE TUBING
A Water Clear Heat Shrinkable Tubing Product That Is Also Highly Flame Retardant!
New FIT®-375 is a unique addition to Alpha Wire Company’s line of FIT® Preferred Heat Shrink Products. FIT®-375 is a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based, water clear heat shrinkable tubing alternative offering a low shrink temperature of 150°C and UL VW-1 flame retardancy. FIT®-375 has numerous advantages over other transparent heat shrink tubing products. PVDF allows FIT®-375 to remain water clear after application. Information beneath applied tubing remains easily legible. An excellent alternative to standard Kynar®** or Teflon®*** heat shrinkable tubing products, this modified PVDF-based product is resistant to mechanical abrasion and cut-through as well as most chemicals including solvents. In addition, FIT®-375’s lower recovery temperature saves valuable installation time and protects the underlying substrate from excessive heating. Since most alternative clear heat shrinkable tubing is flammable, FIT®-375 is ideal in applications where flame retardancy is critical. FIT®-375 meets UL Standard 224, passes the UL VW-1 Flame Test and meets or exceeds the requirements of SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/18B, Class 1. FIT®-375 is put up on spools in a variety of sizes ranging from 3/64” to ½”. FIT®-375, like all FIT® Preferred Heat Shrink Products, is available out of stock for immediate delivery.
