Annular Convolex Tubing
Convolex
Convolex non heat-shrinkable tubing is manufacture from radiation cross-linked Polyvinylidene fluoride. It forms the basis of a total harnessing system, comprising strain tape, terminations and TE Raychem branded heat-shrinkable molded parts. Convoled tubing offers good resistance to mechanical damage in the form of abrasion resistance and high crush strength, whilst being extremely light.
Operating temperature range
-55oC to 150oC
Typical Applications
- Protection over wire harness bundle
- Protect equipment cables from abrasion
- Use in temporary or prototype circuits
