Product catalog summary
Heat Shrinkable Tubing and Rollcovers

Specifications:
Heat shrinkable tubing is crafted from materials like POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE and Moldflon™-FEP, -PFA, and -PVDF, providing protection against moisture, chemicals, corrosion, and high temperatures. Shrinkage rates vary: PTFE (2:1 or 4:1), FEP (1.3:1 and 1.6:1), PFA (1.3:1), and PVDF (2:1). Custom sizes are available. Rollcovers, made from Moldflon™-FEP or -PFA, are used in industries handling hot, sticky, or staining goods, offering a smooth surface and custom fitting.

Advantages:
Heat shrinkable tubing offers universal chemical resistance, sterilizability, anti-adhesive properties, and a broad operating temperature range. Rollcovers provide smooth surfaces, good adherence, and easy cleaning.

Applications:
Heat shrinkable tubing is utilized in sectors like measurement and control technology, medical, chemical, automotive, food industries, electro-plating, aerospace, and for sheathing cables, antennas, sensors, and probes. Rollcovers are applied in the textile, paper, packaging, and food industries.

Technical Details:
Shrinking temperatures are recommended as follows: PTFE at 330°C, FEP at 190°C, PFA at 220°C, and PVDF at 175°C. Rollcovers come in various sizes and wall thicknesses, with seamless production up to certain dimensions.

Material Properties:
Materials like POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE, Moldflon™-PFA, and Moldflon™-FEP offer low friction, high chemical resistance, and good electrical properties, with specific advantages such as thermal resilience, weldability, and food contact suitability.

Overview:
This document provides a detailed overview of the technical characteristics of various tube materials, focusing on electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, including materials like PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE, PCTFE, PVDF, ECTFE, PEEK, and PEI.

Electrical Properties:
Details include dielectric constant at different frequencies, dielectric loss factor, specific contact resistance, surface resistance, tracking resistance, and dielectric strength. PTFE and its variants have a dielectric constant of less than 2.1, while PEEK has a dielectric constant of 3.2 at 100 Hz.

Thermal Properties:
Key properties include density, upper operating temperature, flammability, water absorption, melting temperature, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and oxygen index. PTFE materials have a high upper operating temperature of 250–260°C and a melting temperature of 327°C.

Mechanical Properties:
Includes tensile strength, yield stress, Young’s modulus, limiting bending stress, flexural modulus of elasticity, ball indentation hardness, Rockwell hardness, Shore hardness, and friction coefficient. PEEK shows high tensile strength at 23°C (98 MPa) and a Young’s modulus of 3,500 MPa.

General Notes:
Values provided are typical and may vary based on material, components, and processing conditions. Contact information for ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik GmbH and its global branches is included.

Certifications:
The document mentions compliance with standards such as IATF 16949:2016, DIN EN ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and GMP EN ISO 13485.

Heat shrinkable tubing made from POLYTETRA-FLON™-PTFE and Mold-flon™-FEP,-PFA, and -PVDF We manufacture heat shrinkable tubing from POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE and Moldflon™-FEP, -PFA, and -PVDF. It can be used to protect against moisture, chemical liquids, corrosion, and high temperatures. When a moisture proof connection or media tight closure is required, dual heat shrinkable tubing is the number one choice. The most common shrinkage rates are: • 2:1 or 4:1 for PTFE • 1.3:1 and 1.6:1 for FEP • 1.3:1 for PFA • 2:1 for PVDF Manufacturing special sizes to meet specific customer requirements is our forte....

Moldflon™-PFA rollcovers — Standard wall thicknesses 0.60 mm and 1.50 mm The use of rollcovers made from Moldflon™-PFA is recommended with “banana rollers” in which spot loads occur, for example. This is because PFA (visually almost indistinguishable from FEP) has a significantly higher reverse bending strength. Moreover, the temperature resistance is noticeably higher than that of Moldflon™-FEP. We therefore particularly recommend the use of rollcovers made from Moldflon™-PFA for rubber-coated rollers that are operated in the higher temperature range.
