Teflon® Heat Shrink Tubing
PTFE (Teflon®) heat shrink tubing is designed for applications that demand the highest lubricity, chemical resistance, and temperature stability. Commonly used in medical devices, catheter fusing sleeves, and printer roller covers, this tubing delivers reliable performance even under extreme heat, corrosion, shock, and moisture.
Available in a variety of shrink ratios, sizes, and wall thicknesses, Teflon® heat shrink tubing ensures your products are fully protected and built to perform in the harshest environments.
