3M Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301VW Flexible, Polyolefin Data Sheet July 2010 Description 3M Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301VW has the same outstanding balance of electrical, physical and chemical properties as FP-301 tubing, and is specially engineered for excellent flame resistance. FP-301VW tubing is rated for continuous operation at -55C (-67F) to 135C (275F), and is designed to withstand elevated temperatures to 300C (572F) for short periods. Minimum shrink temperature for all FP-301VW tubing is 100C (212F). Agency Approvals & Meets requirements of: Self Certifications MIL-DTL-23053/5, Class 3 UL Recognized, File E-39100, vw-1 and E-69751 at 600 volts maximum 125C CSA Certified, CSA LR38227, OFT at 600 volts maximum 125C FP-301VW tubing is ideal for fire-resistant coverings of components and flammable Applications wire assemblies. Shrink Ratio FP-301VW tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. When freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to 50% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness is proportional to the degree of recovery. High expansion ratios available subject to factory quotation. Standard Sizes and Dimensions Ordering Expanded I.D.
