3M Heat Shrink Tubing VTN-200 Modified Fluoroelastomer Data Sheet September 2019 Product Description 3M Heat Shrink Tubing VTN-200 is highly abrasion and cut-through resistant and can withstand a wide variety of fuels, lubricants, acids and highly corrosive fluids at temperatures up to 200C. In addition to its high continuous operating temperature and chemical-resistance properties, this tubing is very flexible and is easily marked by hot-stamp or printwheel methods. When heated in excess of 175C (347F), 3M VTN-200 tubing rapidly shrinks to a skintight fit. 3M VTN-200 tubing is rated for continuous operation from 55C (67F) to 200C (392F). Regulatory Information For RoHS and REACH information, please visit www.3M.com/regs Typical Applications Because of its excellent high temperature fluid performance, 3M VTN-200 tubing is often used to protect wiring and component covers in aircraft/aerospace applications including electronic control systems and hydraulic fluid transport mechanisms and in chemical plants. Shrink Ratio 3M VTN-200 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. Black Standard Color Availability Standard Packaging Spools Order 3M Heat Shrink Tubing VTN-200 by product name, size equivalent to the expanded inside diameter, package type and color. Always order the largest size that will shrink snugly over the component to be covered. Example: VTN-200, 3/16 , black, spools.
