Heat-shrinkable Tubing RAYCHEM Tubing Products TFE and TFER 1 High-Temperature, Chemically Inert, Modified Tubing made of PTFE Product Facts Shrink ratio: 1.8:1 (TFE) 3.2:1 (TFER) High flame-resistance Excellent chemical resistance RoHS compliant Applications Installation Operating Temperature Range Designed to provide Minimum shrink -67C to 250C insulation and mechanical temperature: 330C 625F -88.6F to 482F protection in severe Minimum full recovery chemical and thermal temperature: 340C 644F environments. Used to cover hydraulic hose and couplings to prevent contamination and corrosion. The high mechanical strength and extremely low coefficient of friction make it good for reducing damage to bearing shafts and similar applications.
