Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on heat shrinkable tubing and rollcovers made from high-performance plastics such as POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE, Moldflon™-FEP, -PFA, and -PVDF. These products are designed to offer protection against moisture, chemicals, corrosion, and high temperatures.
Heat Shrinkable Tubing: These tubes, made from POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE and Moldflon™-FEP, -PFA, and -PVDF, are used for moisture-proof connections and media-tight closures. They come in various shrinkage rates, such as 2:1 or 4:1 for PTFE, 1.3:1 and 1.6:1 for FEP, 1.3:1 for PFA, and 2:1 for PVDF. Custom sizes are available for specific needs.
Rollcovers: Made from Moldflon™-FEP or -PFA, rollcovers are used in industries handling hot, sticky, or staining goods. They provide a smooth surface, good adherence, and ease of cleaning.
Advantages: Heat shrinkable tubing offers universal chemical resistance, sterilizability, anti-adhesive properties, a wide operating temperature range, and compliance with FDA or USP Class VI standards. Rollcovers provide smooth surfaces and compensate for roller unevenness.
Applications: Heat shrinkable tubing is utilized in measurement and control technology, medical technology, chemical, automotive, food industries, electro-plating, aerospace, and for sheathing cables, antennas, sensors, and probes. Rollcovers are used in the textile, paper, packaging, and food industries.
Technical Specifications: The document includes tables with dimensions, wall thicknesses, and recommended object diameters for various tubing types. It also provides recommended shrinking and melting temperatures for different materials.
Additional Information: Special shrinkage rates, overexpanded dimensions, and antistatic tubing are available. The importance of determining shrink temperatures in advance due to potential manufacturing variations is highlighted.
Specifications: PFA heat shrinkable tubing is available with a shrinkage ratio of 1.3:1. Dimensions include expanded internal diameter, internal diameter after maximum shrinkage, wall thickness after shrinkage, and recommended object diameter. Tolerances and longitudinal shrinkage or expansion of +/-10% are noted.
Procedures and Recommendations: Optimal use requires determining the shrink temperature in advance. Moldflon™ PFA tubing with a 1.6:1 shrinkage rate is also available. Custom covering of parts is offered for protection against extreme conditions.
Standards and Norms: Materials like POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE, Moldflon™-PTFE, and Moldflon™-PFA are discussed, highlighting properties such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, and suitability for food contact. Detailed mechanical and thermal properties for each material are provided.
Applications: Moldflon™-FEP tubing is used for splinter protection in fluorescent lamps. Rollcovers made from Moldflon™-FEP or -PFA are recommended for industries requiring anti-adhesiveness and chemical resistance. Anti-static rollcovers are available for applications needing electrical conductivity.
Key Data from Tables: Tables detail dimensions for rollcovers and tubing, suitable roller diameters, and material properties such as density, tensile strength, and thermal conductivity, providing critical information for selecting the appropriate product for specific applications.
Mechanical Properties: The document details mechanical properties of materials such as PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE, PCTFE, PVDF, ECTFE, PEEK, and PEI. Key parameters include tensile strength, yield stress, Young’s modulus, and hardness (Rockwell, Shore, and ball indentation).
Thermal Properties: Thermal characteristics such as melting temperature, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and specific heat are outlined. Upper operating temperature and flammability ratings are specified.
Electrical Properties: Electrical properties include dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, specific contact resistance, surface resistance, tracking resistance, and dielectric strength, crucial for electrical insulation and conductivity applications.
General Information: Values provided are typical and may vary based on material, components, processing, and operating conditions. Contact information for ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik GmbH and its global branches is included, emphasizing their expertise in engineered plastics.
Standards and Certifications: The document references standards such as ISO, IEC, and DIN, ensuring material properties are measured and reported according to recognized international guidelines. Certifications like IATF 16949:2016, DIN EN ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and GMP EN ISO 13485 indicate compliance with quality and environmental management systems.
