This document provides specifications and ordering information for an ultra thin wall heat shrinkable polyolefin tubing. The tubing has a shrink ratio of 2:1, shrinks at 100°C, and has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. It lists properties such as tensile strength, heat shock resistance, and electric strength. Standard sizes range from 3/64 inch to 1 inch in diameter, and it is supplied on reels in lengths from 50 to 656 feet. Contact information is given for the manufacturer.
