Lay Flat PVC
Heat Shrinkable Tubing

DESCRIPTION
A thin wall, low cost, heat shrinkable material offering good electrical and mechanical characteristics. It is produced from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride material which is expanded during the manufacturing process. When exposed to heat in excess of 275°F for a few seconds, it will shrink rapidly and uniformly, conforming to the contour of the object being covered.

APPLICATIONS
Insulation and jacketing of batteries, capacitors and similar objects -- protective covering for precision machine parts and cutting tool -- wire and cable identification -- insulation of tools against electrical shocks -- a vast range of applications in the production of industrial equipment, toys, sporting goods, electronics, medical and consumer products.
