RAYCHEM Tubing Products 1 TFE and TFER Heat-shrinkable Tubing High-Temperature, Chemically Inert, Modified Tubing made of PTFE Product Facts Shrink ratio: 1.8:1 (TFE) 3.2:1 (TFER) High flame-resistance Excellent chemical resistance RoHS compliant Specifications/Approvals Applications Installation Operating Temperature Range 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. Minimum shrink temperature: 330C [625F] -67C to 250C [-88.6F to 482F] Minimum full recovery temperature: 340C [644F] Series Military Raychem TFE, TFER AMS-DTL-23053/12*, Classes 3 and 5 Def.
