The HFT5000 Series of heat shrinkable fabric has been designed for use by providing cable protection, insulation, as well as environmental sealing and strain relief across a number of different applications such as:

• Aerospace and Defence
• Automotive Industry
• Industrial and Commercial Industry
• Maintenance and Repair (MRO)
• Marine Industry
• Rail Industry

This heat shrinkable tubing is woven from polyethylene/ polyester materials which offer excellent abrasion resistance for rubber, plastic pipes and harness wiring bundles. The woven fabric offers flexibility and is easy to install onto irregular surfaces, as well as having the ability to provide water, heat and humidity resistance.

• Ideal for using on irregular surfaces without additional fixing
• Very flexible and easy to use
• Heat shrink ratio of 2:1 meaning when heated this tubing shrinks to half of its original diameter
• Low heat shrink temperature for safe installation onto heat sensitive surfaces
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Ideal for use in demanding and challenging environments
• Easy to cut with industrial cutting equipment
• Operating temperature of -40 to + 125 °C
• Standard black in colour

What does a heat shrink ratio of 2:1 mean?
A ratio of 2:1 means when the tube is heated it shrinks to half of its original diameter

How can I shrink the tubing?
A heat gun or a heat shrink oven are ideal ways to shrink your tubing. Before heating always check to ensure you know the correct heating temperature of your tubing.

Remember to ensure all health and safety precautions have been taken prior to using a heating devise.
