Parker's QPL-approved AS23053/12 PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing protects components from heat, sparks, and contaminants while handling long-term exposure to temperatures as high as 500°F (260°C). When heated, it conforms to the object's shape, providing a protective covering. PTFE AWG 2:1 and Fractional 2:1 heat shrink is produced in Heavy Wall, Standard Wall, Thin Wall, and Light Wall designs and supplied in an expanded state, allowing easy slippage over cables, fittings, and other protrusions.


PTFE AWG heat shrinkable tubing is typically used when repairing electrical wiring, fittings, cords and other small objects that need to be protected from heat, water, dust or corrosion. Fractional 2:1 heat shrink is used to protect larger objects like electrical harnesses, instruments, or even lighting where a breakage would compromise the operation.


QPL 23053/12 PTFE heat shrink is ideal for repairing electrical wiring, catheter manufacturing, and protecting harnesses, instruments, and lighting from heat, water, dust, or corrosion. Its thin wall promotes quick installation and flexibility. The thin wall also keeps the tubing flexible when flexibility is an issue.


Parflex also offers turnkey services for heat shrink. Even on very difficult applications, like balloon catheters, Parker can cut and score the tubing for easy peel back, ensuring quicker installation and consistency. In addition, outsourcing reduces scrap and allows you to use the product immediately upon receipt without using additional space in your warehouse for carrying inventory.
