Specifications/Approvals
Applications
Designed to provide
insulation and mechanical
protection in severe
chemical and thermal
environments. Used to
cover hydraulic hose and
couplings to prevent
contamination and
corrosion. The high
mechanical strength and
extremely low coefficient
of friction make it good for
reducing damage to
bearing shafts and similar
applications.
Installation
Minimum shrink
temperature: 330°C [625°F]
Minimum full recovery
temperature: 340°C [644°F]
Operating Temperature Range
-67°C to 250°C
[-88.6°F to 482°F]
