RNF-150 High-performance, thin-wall, flexible, fluoropolymer heat-shrinkable tubing RNF-150 is a highly flame-resistant thin-wall heat-shrinkable tubing that has excellent durability. It is manufactured from a modified fluoropolymer whose properties include toughness, chemical resistance, and high-temperature performance. A very thin wall gives RNF-150 excellent flexibility. Applications include insulation, jacketing, and identification of wire bundles; light-duty harnesses; insulation and protection of terminals and wire connections; and packaging of components. RNF-150 is not recommended for use in direct contact with ketones. RNF-150 is UL-recognized at 150C, 600 V, with a UL VW-1 flame retardance rating and meets the requirements of AMS-DTL-23053/18, Class 2. Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 150C Continuous operating temperature: -55C to 155C Recommended maximum temperature for use as a primary insulator: 135C Specifications* Type RNF-150 Raychem RT-370 Military AMS-DTL-23053/18, Class 2 UL E85381 VW-1 *When ordering, always specify latest issue.
