* The minimum expansion internal Ø (external Ø) is not tolerated. The dimensions can
be much greater than the minimum values. Heat-shrinkable tubing with tolerated ID
(OD) is custom-made. We shall be glad to provide you information on this option that
comes along with a special manufacturing process.

Please note that heatshrinkable tubing can shrink or expand lengthwise up to 10%. The
percentage can increase in case of coloured heat-shrinkable tubing. Contact us for more
information.

Dual heat-shrinkable tubing is 1.22 m. We
produce pre-shrunk standard lengths
against an additional charge; else we
manufacture the tubing in standard
lengths that are not pre-shrunk. In the lat-
ter case, the inner and outer lengths are
loose and movable. Deviating lengths will
be available on special request. If you
need special lengths less than 50 cm, we
recommend that the tubing should be pre-
shrunk.

We also provide PTFE or PFA stoppers for


sealing bigger parts. On request, we
manufacture as per general specifications,
e.g. FDA or USP class VI, and also as per
customer specifications.

Special Types
Application Examples

One of our core competences lies in


encasing delicate technical parts with
heatshrinkable tubing. We know how to
cover thermal sensors, springs, stirring
shafts, cable antennae, heaters, probes
and immersion pipes, right up to entire
system components. We can tightly
heat-seal the covered parts on one side
or both the sides, depending upon the
application. We look forward to new
challenges!

Another specialty is our POLYTETRAFLON®


safety heat-shrinkable tubing, which offers
splinter protection for fluorescent lamps.

The following standard sizes are available:


Poly F 5 Ø15 Wand 0,25 mm
Poly F 8 Ø26 Wand 0,25 mm
Poly F10 Ø30 Wand 0,25 mm
Poly F12 Ø38 Wand 0,25 mm

Special dimensions, special thickness on


request.

POLYTETRAFLON® safety heat-shrinkable tubing offers splinter protection for fluorescent


lamps used in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Rollcover
FEP or PFA

POLYTETRAFLON® Rollcovers are


manufactured in a special manufactu-
ring process with diameters ranging
from approx. 25 mm to 450 mm. There
are two types of designs, one with inter-
nal etching and one without etching.
Rollcovers with internal etching can
be glued on the roller. Rollcovers are
mainly used in the textile industry, paper
industry, packaging and food industry.

Our Rollcovers are used wherever hot,


sticky or staining goods have to be
moved. As against conventional PTFE
coatings, POLYTETRAFLON® Rollcovers
made from FEP or PFA do not have a
micro-porous surface. Because of the
chemical stability of fluoroplastics, they
can be easily cleaned even with aggres-
sive chemicals. Rollcovers with the follo-
wing wall thickness can be manufactured:

FEP: 0.50 mm and 1.50 mm


PFA: 0.50 mm, 0.64 mm and 1.50 mm
