3M Heat Shrink Tubing EPS-200 Adhesive-Lined, 2:1, Flexible, Polyolefin Data Sheet November 2018 Description 3M Heat Shrink Tubing EPS-200 is a 2:1 thin-wall, flexible tubing offering the advantages of integral, adhesive-lined construction. The tubing is made from flame- retardant, flexible polyolefin with a thin layer of special thermoplastic adhesive. The heat-shrinkable outer wall is selectively cross-linked, while maintaining the high flow and excellent adhesion of the inner sealant liner. When heated in excess of 121C (250F), 3M EPS-200 tubing rapidly shrinks to a skintight fit, forcing the melted adhesive lining to flow and cover the substrate. The adhesive forms a flexible bond with a wide variety of rubbers, plastics and metals. Upon cooling, the adhesive solidifies, forming a permanent, non-drying, flexible and water resistant barrier. Adhesive reflow will occur at temperatures above 80C (176F). Agency Approvals & Meets the requirements of: Self Certifications - AS23053/Class 2* - UL Recognized, File E-39100 - CSA Certified, CSA LR38227 - For RoHS and REACH information, please visit www.3M.com/regs *Formerly MIL-I-23053/4, MIL-DTL-23053/4 and SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/4 Applications 3M EPS-200 tubing offers convenient protection of electronic components, wire splices, or bundling of wires. Automotive, truck and marine wiring splices and connections are quickly and easily protected from harsh environments. Shrink Ratio 3M EPS-200 tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink 50% of its as-supplied diameter. The recovered wall thickness of the tubing is proportional to the degree of recovery. The operating temperature range is from -55C (-67F) to 110C (230F), with a shrinking temperature minimum of 121C (250F). Black Standard Colors Also available in Clear, Red and Yellow. Price, MOQ and Lead Time will vary for these colors. Please contact Local Sales Representative or Customer Service Representative for more information. NOTE: The clear tubing is not flame retardant or UL listed. 1 of 3 3M Heat Shrink Tubing EPS-200 Not for specifications. Values are typical, not to be considered minimum or maximum.
