SWFR Heat Shrink Tubing: Highly Flame-Retardant, UL VW-1 rated, Zero Halogen Tubing

SWFR heat shrink tubing's high degree of flame retardancy allows it to carry UL VW-1 and CSA OFT flammability ratings. New marked versions allow for easy identification.

Overview

SWFR tubing is a cost effective, highly flame-retardant,2:1 shrink ratio tubing made irradiated, cross-linked polyolefin. It insulates and mechanically protects components, electrical connections, and terminations. SWFR is offered in two very flexible types. X2 is a thin wall tubing, and X4 is a very thin wall tubing. The thicker wall of the X2 offers better protection, while the space saving thinner wall of the X4 permits denser packing of protected components and a faster shrink time to better protect against thermal damage of temperature sensitive components. Both types are halogen free, permitting their use in enclosed spaces where toxic gasses from burning materials containing halogens is undesirable

Features

  • 2:1 shrink ratio.
  • Operating temperature from –30°C up to +125°C.
  • Minimum shrink temperature: +70°C.
  • Minimum full recovery temperature: +90°C.
  • RoHS & REACH compliant.

Benefits

  • Highly flame-retardant, it is an excellent candidate for applications in appliances, motor vehicles, commercial electronics, and consumer electronics given the increased focus on consumer safety.
  • Environmentally friendly. Emits minimal amounts of toxic or acidic gasses when burned, making it appropriate for use in enclosed areas.
  • Electrically insulates and mechanically protects components and other electrical connections and terminations.
  • Low shrink temperature permits quick installation and reduces the risk of damage to temperature-sensitive components. The X2 thin wall version shrinks quickly, and the X4 very thin wall version can shrink more than twice as fast as the X2.
  • With sizes from 0.8 to 30mm and two different wall thicknesses, this very flexible tubing Is suitable for use in a range of applications. 
  • New marked versions allow for easy identification.
