RW-175 Thin-wall, semirigid, fluoropolymer heat-shrinkable tubing RW-175 heat-shrinkable tubing is a RW-175 tubing provides RW-175 provides protection from tough, semirigid, very-thin-wall electrical insulation and strain most industrial solvents, fuels, insulation. It is especially suitable for relief of multipin connectors and and chemicals including JP-8, applications requiring high-temperature solder joints. It is also widely oxidants, and strong acids. It is performance, outstanding abrasion used as insulation for high- UL-recognized and CSA-certified at and cut-through resistance, or superior temperature components and 150C, 600 V, with VW-1 and OFT chemical and solvent properties. heater leads. With its thin-wall flame-retardancy ratings. The translucent polyvinylidene fluoride construction, RW-175 is ideal for material permits visual inspection of applications that require dense covered components. packing of components. Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 175C Continuous operating temperature: 55C to 175C Recommended maximum temperature for use as a primary insulator: 135C Specifications* Type Raychem Military UL CSA RW-175 RW-3029/2 AMS-DTL-23053/8 E35586 VW-1 LR31929 OFT *When ordering, always specify latest issue.
